thiago S @Thiagostone Apr 4 Filme fraco, o roteiro é fraco, as cenas são fracas, a história é fraca, o elenco é fraco, e ninguém ajuda a melhorar o filme, os personagens são fracos, e o filme deveria ter cenas bem melhores e relevantes, para fazer o filme ser bom See more Johnathon W @Hoppynsc Sep 9 Another sub-par entry in the franchise that at least tries to mix things up with the group fighting pirates but still suffers from lacking Jet Li as the lead. Wenzhou Zhao continues to deliver some fun action sequences but still lacks the charisma of Li. While it is nice to see Rosamund Khan return, it only complicates the plot with an unneeded love triangle, even if it leads to some fun humor from Feihong's father. Behind the camera, Hark Tsui returns and delivers some fun set pieces, though it lacks the political intrigue of the previous films. Overall, a solid watch with he collection but not by itself. See more 05/20/2018 Popular Chinese martial arts adventure series is starting to get a little tired. See more camille l @RT76374992 02/11/2017 Le quatrième opus d'Il était une fois en Chine est privé de Tsui Hark à la réalisation, Jet Li et Rosamund Kwan devant la caméra et cela se sent malheureusement trop. En effet, le film de Yuen Bun se concentre sur une grosse compétition de danse du dragon, comme le troisième épisode, mais n'a pas les personnages pour intéresser les spectateurs peu réceptifs à cette discipline. Pire encore, Vincent Zhao n'est clairement pas Jet Li et avec lui, Wong Fei Hung perd de son charisme et de sa prestance, sa qualité principale, pourtant. Il n'y a que Max Mok et les thèmes principaux pour lier la première trilogie avec cet épisode. Il n'en demeure pas moins que les quelques bastons sont divertissantes et que le film est parfaitement regardable. See more 07/19/2016 The fourth film in the Once Upon a Time in China series is underwhelming. Vincent Zhao has the same physical prowess, but the charisma of Jet Li. Also the martial arts is way too wire work based, with characters doing multiple flying kicks and defying gravity at every turn. The finale has some good set design but the movie's plot isn't resolved and the sidekicks are more entertaining than the hero. Also its said that Tsui Hark was less involved, which is why the film seems so different than the first three. See more 11/08/2015 When Chiu Man-Cheuk replaced Jet Li being Wong Fei Hung. Series of hectic action sequences mingled with a not so relevant storyline/screenplay. See more Read all reviews
