I ordered it the other day. It'll get here soon, I hear it's awesome. A friend and fellow student at my school said it was amazing. Besides that, my Sifu and some senior students said they watched it over and over because it was so good.
I'll have my own opinion soon, I'll post here after I see it if anyone's interested.
OK, it came today and I watched it. A lot of the movie is like a mix of other films he's been in. But overall I think the story was good and the fight scenes are great.
Gene,
Will Jet Li be autographing any posters for charity?

Fearless is one of the coolest movies ive seen in along time. Its great to see yeun mo ping and jet li working together again, and great to see a story based in old school china.
if read alot of sites criticizing jet li's speed, saying his age is gettin to him, but i do not see this whatsoever. the style he uses is soft/hard, starts with soft then turns into hard.
i dont want to spoil anything, but each fight is brilliant, i dont know how yeun mo ping keeps thinking of this new ****. he is really a genius, and its ironic how his name means "peace" in cantonese, yet he just developes these brutal, realistic scenes of one guy destroying one, or many other guys.
i havent read the other posts in this thread, but from what i know is that its being released in north america in august, and at the same time it gets officially released in hong kong, in a uncut dvd.
people may not agree with me after they seen it, but i think its a great film. goes back to the roots of kung fu. the half shaved head, sharp looking uniforms, and masters fighting masters in city squares.
peace and love.
BM2, I am working with Fearless, but not on a charity poster drive like we did last year with the Tiger Claw Foundation. Sorry if you missed your chance.

My bjj instructor thinks TMA only works in the movies However he bought "Hero" and enjoys watching Jackie Chan movies too.
I have read where "Unleashed" is considered to be Jet Li's best acting performance. I think "Hero" is his best movie not for his acting or MA performance but for the story.

*eagerly waiting the uncut version*
To the people that have seen it, didn't the pacing of the film seem alittle too Hollywood-ish for you? Like trying to fit such a great story that deserves more storytelling time into the convenient 100 minute time frame.
I want to see the uncut as it should really explain his transformation more clearly, IMO.
