Title: Watch it with subtitles
Review: This is a classy movie with great actors, especially Andy Lau, who is not well known in the US but is big time in Asia. Jet Li gives a brilliant performance. The photography is beautiful. However, do not watch the dubbed version. Watch the original and read the English subtitles. The dubbing has to be some of the worst. It sounds exactly like a 1970's low class English dubbing of a cheap Hong Kong kung fu movie. Same cheap, unexpressive English accents definitely not synchronized to the actors. Since this movie has been getting great reviews, you have to wonder what whoever authorized the dubbing was thinking.I heard also that the distributor cut out 1/2 hour. Together with the fact that the normal DVD version is not packaged with the Blu Ray, makes this version somewhat expensive for what you get.
Is the review positive or negative?
