Shoa lin Temple

This is important for Jet Li fans to see his humble start. I think Jet can act pretty good now, but here is acting was clearly rough. That is ok because you never see jet move like this anymore. This is the way to see jet show why he was a champion martial artist. Just an amazing athlete in general.

The film starts off with this super hilarious song about the shoa lin temple. I mean this song is worth the rental. The story is pretty pointless you killed the my father- let me join the temple so I can learn martial arts – You don't have what it takes – Yes I do – Blah, blah. Who cares? The same basic story was told so much better in the 36th chamber of shoal in. You are not watching this movie for the story it is for Jet kicking some serious butt.

Since my user name is what it is it should be no surprise the only thing I hated about this movie was all the disgusting meat-eating. I am used to people eating dead animal flesh in movies but it was super offensive to have Buddhist Shoalin monks eating flesh off the bone. I am sorry but no monk would say as long as you have Buddha in your heart you can eat meat.
