The only real disappointment about Enter the Dragon is that it is Bruce Lee's last movie. Full Review |
||
|
|
The chop-socky film to beat them all. Full Review |
||
|
3/4 |
If kung fu is now the standard badass language, Enter the Dragon -- featuring Lee's great slow-burn stare -- is the first grammar lesson. Full Review |
||
|
B- |
It's worth catching this schlock art film to see Lee play a 007-type super-agent, who is an expert in kung-fu. Full Review |

Presents a powerful, kinetic ballet by a martial arts master at the peak of his form--just try looking away from him. Full Review |
||
|
|
Rising popularity of the Chinese martial arts as screen entertainment climaxes in fine crescendo in this violence-drenched actioner. Full Review |
||
|
3/4 |
Nonstop action is what these films are about, and that's what you get here. Full Review |
||
|
|
Ripping entertainment overall, with just enough meat for amateur sociologists. Full Review |
||
|
8/10 |
...it's still great entertainment and remains a first-class action thriller in first-class style. Full Review |
||
|
2.5/4 |
High karate and low kitsch ... Forget the dopey James Bond plot and train your eyes, little grasshopper, on Lee as he takes on army of henchmen, demonstrating his revolutionary kung-fu moves and a fire-breathing squint. Full Review |

Worth seeing for Lee, but still unforgivably wasteful of his talents. Full Review |

On an adventure level, the performances are quite good. The one by Mr. Lee, not only the picture's supermaster killer but a fine actor as well, is downright fascinating. Full Review |

For martial arts fans, this is THE one. (I'm not such a fan.)

The opening drums in Lalo Schifrin's musical score can give you chills. Full Review |

4/4 |
It's easy to see why Lee was -- and still is -- such a big star. He had a charm and charisma that few have. The camera loved him. He had that special undefinable quality that James Dean, Marilyn Monroe, Humphrey Bogart and a few others have. Full Review |
