(1 - 21) of 21 OFCS Rating: 70% Fresh Page   1   B+ "In this day and age when the world grows more unstable by the second, Li's efforts here to encourage reflection on the ideas of inner peace and the uselessness of violence are resoundingly welcome."   FilmJerk.com   Brian Orndorf 2/5 "the drama surrounding these fights doesn't hold any weight"   Filmcritic.com   Chris Cabin A- "Significantly, the movie breaks the standard revenge model of the martial arts film genre to embrace the grace and restraint that underlines the philosophy of wushu (the comprehensive term for martial arts that means 'avert fighting' or 'stop war')."   ColeSmithey.com   Cole Smithey B- "Like so many biopics, a blind devotion to the subject renders the film a little stale at times."   EricDSnider.com   Eric D. Snider 3.5/5 "Fearless has some of the best choreography I’ve seen in years, and Li handles the task with his usual finesse."   Film Threat   Felix Vasquez Jr. 2.5/4 "Li carries the load on his shifty shoulders in a nostalgic wushu period piece that is philosophically solemn yet kinetically impish in its reflective spirit."   Movie Eye   Frank Ochieng B+ "Almost childishly naive but beautifully crafted and both viscerally exciting and oddly touching...a surprisingly rich and satisfying love letter by Li to the martial arts."   One Guy's Opinion   Frank Swietek 8/10 "A martial arts version of a comic book superhero movie."   ReelTalk Movie Reviews   Jeffrey Chen 6/10 "In terms of a farewell, statement, Li would have been better off calling it quits with last year's Unleashed."   Planet Sick-Boy   Jon Popick 3/4 "An air of melancholy permeates even Yuen Wo Ping's dazzling fight sequences -- which rely on wire work and computer enhancement much less than most contemporary martial-arts films -- and the final scenes pack a surprising melodramatic punch."   TV Guide's Movie Guide   Maitland McDonagh 3/4 "An entertaining and admirably ambitious movie that promises a feast of martial arts combat, which it delivers along with a poignant message of peace."   Aisle Seat   Mike McGranaghan B- "The middle section sags as Huo takes on a bigger entourage than MC Hammer and then goes off and learns about the Meaning of Life from Simple Country Folk."   Movie Mom at Yahoo! Movies   Nell Minow 2.5/4 "The protagonist's message rings true and its battle sequences prove gripping, but Jet Li's Fearless is both slightly ham-fisted in its efforts to have its individual and political narratives mirror one another."   Slant Magazine   Nick Schager 2/5 "Fracassa como exemplar de artes marciais e, o que é ainda pior, como homenagem a um homem que inspirou grandes atletas e atores (incluindo o protagonista desta produção)."   Cinema em Cena   Pablo Villaca 4/5 "Not only is it a gripping, beautifully acted drama, but the action scenes are jaw-dropping."   Shadows on the Wall   Rich Cline 5/5 "Becomes sedate and spiritual without losing its power."   eFilmCritic.com   Rob Gonsalves "Even though Fearless is laced with stunning fight sequences, none of them have lingered in my memory as vividly as Li's face has: His body may begin the story told in Fearless, but his face completes it."   Salon.com   Stephanie Zacharek 5/10 "While no "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon," this chop-socky features Jet Li's flying fists and feet doing Chinese We Shu martial arts."   Modamag.com   Susan Granger 2/4 "Ultimately a picture preaching about the cost of violence that shies away from real, visceral consequence."   Film Freak Central   Walter Chaw 3/4 Read review   Big Picture Big Sound   Joe Lozito Read review   Flick Filosopher   MaryAnn Johanson  (1 - 21) of 21 OFCS Rating: 70% Fresh Page   1
