Leave your thoughts about Dragon: The Bruce Lee Story.
| Washington PostDesson ThomsonIt's tremendous fun. The movie -- directed by Rob Cohen -- switches pleasingly from exciting fights to moments of magic playfulness. It's doubly touching to experience Bruce Lee's fleeting life and, in the brief depictions of little son Brandon, to fatefully anticipate the tragedy to come. |
| Boston GlobeJay CarrThis plays up Lee's heroic accomplishments perhaps more than necessary, but it's impossible to deny the power of the basic thrust of his life story, or the spectacular fight sequences. |
| The Hollywood ReporterDuane ByrgeWhat's exciting about Dragon: The Bruce Lee Story is that, in Jason Scott Lee, the movies have created a new star out of an old star. The film is a tribute to Bruce Lee but it's also a tribute to the transforming powers of performance. Lee does justice to Bruce Lee while, at the same time, creating a character out of his own fierce resources. He is, quite literally, smashing. |
| Washington PostRichard HarringtonDragon: The Bruce Lee Story is rousing entertainment with many faces -- martial arts thrills, romance, mystery, comedy -- and a double dose of poignancy. |
| DVDLaserDouglas PrattThe engaging dramatic biography celebrates Bruce Lee's spirit using a rough outline of his career as a narrative guide. |
| The Globe and Mail (Toronto)Christopher HarrisAn enjoyably hokey, big-budget theatrical film with a lot of kicks and the soul of a television movie. It's exactly what it announces itself to be and won't offend (or surprise) anyone...Although "Dragon" has few surprises, it is an entertainingly predictable enterprise. |
| Independent (UK)Sheila JohnstonJason Scott Lee does his namesake proud in the title role, but the film tries to court too many different audiences, with lethal results. |
| Independent on SundayQuentin CurtisThe early scenes are thrillingly edited, like a flurry of karate kicks.... Later the film loses its way -- largely in romance. |
| VarietyLeonard KladyThe brief, meteoric, tragic life of martial arts star Bruce Lee forms the basis of Dragon: The Bruce Lee Story. The film is an unlikely pastiche of traditional biography, Hollywood saga, chopsocky set pieces and inter-racial romance. Seemingly contrary elements and styles nonetheless mesh into an entertaining whole and the result proves extremely touching and haunting. |
| Chicago TribuneDave Kehr"Dragon" has an appeal beyond the buffs. Beyond the particulars of biography, it's a timeless human story told with heart and verve. |
