I'm gonna try to make this post spoiler-free but discussion can lead to spoilers later on. So for the courtesy of others, please include spoiler warnings 
Has anyone seen this movie yet? It's out across Asia and on torrent (horrendous quality, though) and is supposed to be Jet Li's last wuxia film. This means that it's the last film he'll have depicting some time from China history (like for Hero (ying xiong), it was set during the Qin Dynasty, "Fearless" or "Huo Yuan Jia" is set during the beginning of the 1900s).
For those of you who are not familiar with the movie or the person that Jet Li is playing, here are a couple good links to start off with:

http://www.fearlessthemovie.com/
The fighting scenes were amazing, some were longer than expected and were just spectacular to watch. I'm not much of a movie critic, but I was impressed with Jet Li's acting ability. This is definitely a must watch for anyone interested in these wuxia films. I don't know if you'd still enjoy it if you dislike the genre, but I just personally felt obliged to watch this since it's his last wuxia and all.

same here :D it would be appreciated

Well, torrent is out on major torrent places (torrentspy.com, piratebay.org), the biggest problem is that the only versions out there have really crappy quality. Also, there are subs out, but they are direct babelfish translations. They are probably only useful/almost correct 15% of the time (for example, when "Huo Yuan Jia"'s name is said, the sub writes it as "HUO an AN", etc.).
But if anyone still wants the subs just ask and I'll upload onto YSI.

damn that link you showed was pretty sick. Maybe its best to wait for a good version?

hey? isn't that the movie where he is raised as a dog or something? caged and stuff?
or whats the movie about?
oh and jet li's hero was really good
|
No, the dog one was Unleashed.
|
Wasn't it Danny The Dog ? Or maybe we get an other title here ^^)

This movie looks sweet (waiting for the DVD -_- )
|
It just came out over Chinese New Years in Asia.
Simply amazing.
Probably his best martial arts movie since the Once Upon a Time in China series.
|
Don't watch the trailers, it'll spoil major plot details. It's one of those movies that's best enjoyed if you have absolutely no background knowledge.
|
Interesting, I'll have to watch it  .
Why is it his last wuxia  ? He's making other films though right?
|
i saw it.. jet li's acting was very good in this movie. i personally like his older non-american movies because they're just simply better than the recent hollywood bullshit movies he was in (cept romeo must die, love that movie off)
|
I don't know why it's his last wuxia, I've heard he's going back to China to train again, but I've also heard that he's still making modern films (which I don't really like ). Haven't done research on it yet though to find out the answer.
But anyways, the basic plot of Fearless is basically a biography of a Chinese fighter from the 1900s, where China's morale was ruined because of the opium wars, and with a few countries coming in and claiming territory and stuff like that (Imperialism issues).

No way fist of fury is by far the best of all his movie, i think it's better than this fearless also

Except that Bruce Lee was in Fists of Fury.
Unless you are refering to Fists of Legend.
