Critic Reviews

  • Justin Lowe, Hollywood Reporter

    Diverting but unmemorable martial arts feature unlikely to become a classic.

  • Liam Lacey, Globe and Mail

    Somewhere between masterful and messy, Yuen Woo-ping offers lots of kinetic kicks, but his CGI work deserves a kick in the pants.

  • Stephen Whitty, Newark Star-Ledger

    A silly and yet often enjoyable action film, the movie isn't so much a winking homage to those late-'70s Hong Kong exports as another entry...

  • V.A. Musetto, New York Post

    Fans don't go to martial-arts movies for the story. They want action -- and Yuen doesn't disappoint.

  • Elizabeth Weitzman, New York Daily News

    Fans who've been waiting 15 years for the director of "Drunken Master" to helm a new movie definitely won't be disappointed.

    a film with a good although dishevled story, it really stands on the astonishing action sequences. the fighting is top shelf, and although the narrative could have been a lot stronger, it is well worth the time for those into kung fu films.

  • Ginny  


    Legend of the Drunken Fist. As usual, Michelle Yeoh rocks.

  • Justin Y


    After a break from the director's chair, Yuen Woo Ping jumps back into it with <i>True Legend</i>.<p>This picture runs a few minutes under 2 hours and it passes by rather swiftly with it's simple plot. It is probably because there are 2 separate parts to… More
