Watch Birth of the Dragon For Free

i must have seen a different film!!

I don't have all the words right now but this film is a work of art.

everything you have heard about this movie is true.

It's easily one of the freshest, sharpest and most enjoyable films of this year.

Birth of a Dragon...a film about a fight between to masters Bruce Lee & Wong Jack Man all instigated by one white guy's quest for a beautiful Asian woman. This movie has some great wisdom in it's dialogue; However, the theme is garbage. Lee & Wong have to fight each other as the terms to release the lovely conquest from imprisonment. The fight ends in a deep manner with no clear winner. So the female gangster refuses to free the girl. So the white guy decides he is going to pull a Zelda move. He thinks the "Link" to her freedom is his fists. Said white guy gets his ass kicked. Master Wong & Lee come to the rescue to save the muse for the white guy. In the End Master Wong humbly admits he took an L. He does so for the greater good. In return all the women were released from their captivity. To add extra corn to the mix, Master Wong thanks the white guy. Smh so a legendary match between legends is marginalized by another man's quest for box.....this film is certified poop for two reasons. Poop isnt all bad. Yes, poop does stink, but afterwards you are glad it's over. So this poop had highlights.Gave this film a 3 solely because of Yu Xia.

While the actors were good, the fight scenes good. It was rubbish. No way would Bruce Lee be the way he was scripted. He'd be ashamed to be portrayed like this. Dragon, 1993 was so much better.

I was shocked to read some of the unfair reviews about this film and wonder if those individuals actually knew anything about Bruce Lee (the character), or even the struggles he faced in bringing Kung Fu to America, and the world for that matter. In my view, the characters in the film were well represented. People are quick to forget that Bruce Lee was rather cocky, super confident, and even more relative, open to change - hence why he learnt from the mistakes of his first encounter with Wong Jack Man and then felt compelled to re-evaluate his own style and incorporate other fighting techniques to form what we now know as "Jeet Kwon Do", or even "MMA" as people of today like to call it. The film, and the characters whom played both Bruce Lee and Wong Jack Man, were spot on. The fighting scenes, build up and flow of the film was, in my view, superb and highly enjoyable. However, what I found even more rewarding was the portrayal of Bruce Lee's fears and the eventual change the character displayed after his fight with Shaolin Master Wong Jack Man, as opposed to the Jason Scott Lee's version back in the 1990s, which was rather limited. I liked the part after the fight when Bruce Lee had his hand in ice-water admitting how the Shaolin master could have broken his (Bruce Lee's) neck if he wanted to and how Bruce Lee felt that the fight took too long. Another particular aspect on the same scene was how it portrayed how Bruce Lee was Learning his opponent's style while engaging in this battle to eventually counter the Shaolin Master and reverse his advantage, eventually making him respect how adaptable and experience Bruce Lee was at the end of the first fight scene. I liked this film as it covered many unanswered questions, was extremely enjoyable to watch and was played very well by all characters. Those who were waiting for a "Fist of Fury" or "Enter the dragon" type of film should realise that this film was not intended to follow that type of story, but to answer some deep questions about Bruce Lee's real experience, pressures and concerns in getting to the point of when he eventually man "Enter the dragon". I thoroughly liked this film and would love to see a sequel!

Will admit that my expectations were too high when I first heard of this. They were adjusted after the reviews and will now share that is a average martial arts movie. Very glad that I waited to see free and probably would have been more critical IF I paid for at movies. Lower your expectations and standards as this is not Bruce Lee or even a Jet Li movie. If you do that and not look at it as an Asian movie or Caucasian hero movie; just a movie than you can get thru it, LOL.
