starring Jet Li "Romeo Must Die" is supposed to showcase his is amazing kicking, jumping, and flying abilities. Yes, I said flying, which is where the digital effects come in. It was apparently not good enough that Li could perform any fight scene as gracefully as a ballet dancer, the producers felt they needed to enhance even that aspect of the proceedings. So not only does Li do the seemingly impossible, he does the impossible, too, at one point jumping straight up into the air seven or eight feet and spinning around a half dozen times, knocking down opponents with both legs. In "The Matrix" such high-flying, computer-enhanced stunts were implicit in the script; it was science-fiction fantasy and the characters had superhuman powers. In this movie such exhibitions of unnatural faculty simply look silly, and instead of making us say "wow," they make us think "no way." not the worse martial arts film but not that good either. The judgement i will leave to you.
