Review:
Jet Li with a rat tail is not something anyone needed to see. It is nice to see Mel Gibson with his hair cut though.
Order wise I think I’d rank this one 3rd in order of what I like. It goes 1st, 3rd, 4th, 2nd for me. It would have been nice to have a fifth movie because the decline in quality was a lot less than other franchises.
Excellent car chase.
I liked the fact that Jet Li only lost because of bad luck, he was kicking ass and would have won if the movie hadn’t been about the other guys.
I loved the fact that all the side characters were played by the same actors throughout the series, that was awesome and never done.
Overall, it’s an excellent franchise. I don’t know if the TV show quiet lives up to it, but it’s one of the better adaptions out there.
3.5/5
