    Comical, but good.
    This movie kind of makes you wonder if he wants to hit that niche that Jackie Chan has in China. The fighting is not only off the wall, but it's comical as well. Don't expect to see the serious Jet Li that you're used to though, otherwise you'll be disappointed. The best thing about this movie is; you didn't have to see any of the others in the series to know what's going on. Most Chinese sequels tend to leave anyone who hasn't seen the first movies in the dark. If you just take it for what it was meant to be, you'll enjoy it immensely. You can tell that Jet Li was making an attempt to start making his presence in America. I would highly recommend this movie to anyone who's a fan of Jet Li.
