Fearless Review

My first encounter with this show was Jay Chou's MTV of it, which was fantastic. So i was having really high expectations of the show.

Well on the whole it wasn't bad and its the kind of show that makes you think about it even after the next day. The fighting was really really good though i think the story could have been depicted x100 times better. Honestly i don't think Jet Li is such a good actor and his character in the show wasn't well potrayed by him. Perhaps its the timing and pacing of the show i don't like, some parts (esp the middle) is very draggy esp when juxtaposed with the high paced action sequences.

The show is actually a sad show rather than a kungfu movie, i tink u'd appreciate it more if you see it that way. Themes involve chinese pride, honour among warriors and self respect. I esp like the idea of how to truly be a winner.

On the whole i'll give the show a B+ (plus comes from Jay's MTV influence). Watch it but don't expect much.
