WAR

Saw War a few nights ago at the midnight showing.

I have to say that War is the worst Jet Li movie overall that I've ever seen. To me it was easily the worst out of his English language movies. I thought it was even worse than Cradle. There was a lot of action and violence but just barely any martial arts/actual fight scenes. There were only about 2 and they were waaayyy short.

Jet only had a few lines and I noticed his English sounded worse than before when he delivered his lines. It sounded almost like back in Romeo Must Die.

The last fight between Jet and Jason was pure crap. It was super short and sloppy. I was disappointed by and disliked it more than the Jet/Dacascos fight which I didn't think was possible. And the ending left me and every one I saw it with going "Wha?!" It was almost like the writers were thinking "Well we're not sure how to finish this so uh we'll just end it was quickly and nonsensically as possible."

And Jet looked like he was bored out of his mind and didn't want to be there at all, IMO. His usual charisma and screen presence only came through in brief spurts. Sure, there were parts of the movie that I liked and Jet was portrayed as a super badass but I have to give this movie a D+.

With all the money thrown at this movie and with the stars and actors available, beautiful sets, wardrobe, geez, what a bore.

I just don't understand the edits/cuts in this movie.  It was dizzying.

And Jason Statham has the potential to keep up with Jet in an extended fight scene.  WTF happened there?

They took extra time to edit this.  The original shots must've been truncated to end up with a mess like this.  It's a fucking crime.

Jet and Jason was a GREAT PAIRING.  And now we'll never see them together again.

I think Jason is pretty cool. Though I've only see him in The One and the first Transporter movie...and now War of course.

I think that is a good idea to wait until after you've seen War for yourself before reading everyone else's comments.

Haven't seen it yet and want to wait to read everyone's comments until afterwards. I haven't even watched any trailers for fear they'll be the only good parts of the movie. I love Jet but some of the films made around him have been utter crap. Jason's got a lot of charisma too. I happened to be one of the two people who really liked Crank.
