Let me just get this off my chest. Everyone kept saying, "This movie's really good." So I sat and I watched waiting for it to get "really good". I watched the movie three days ago, and it still hasn't gotten "really good"...

Okay, it's obvious that Jet Li can kick some serious ass. We know that. We saw those other two movies right? But this movie...

Let's go ahead and light up the scoreboard
Cliched premise.
Two warring gangs, one black one chinese (both retarded) have split the waterfront area, and there's a war on, and the chinese drug lord's son is killed. Who did it? (Who cares?)
Stupid title.
The name of the movie is Romeo Must Die, and presumably Romeo is Jet Li's character Hahn. I'm presuming this, because there was no one named Romeo in the movie. Any how, that presumes that there's going to be some sort of romantic overtones right? Wrong. If you expect there to be any romance between the leads, forget it.
Retarded tired stereotyped characters.
Um, don't read anything into this, but if I was a black pimp-daddy crime lord, and I was afraid my daughter was gonna get whacked by some pissed-off chinese, I sure as hell wouldn't put a big oafish hip-hop retard in charge of her. But I suppose he's supposed to be "cool, hip, comic-relief", which is tragic because he ain't funny, he ain't cool, and the only relief you get is after you run to the bathroom to crap out something that smells better than this movie.
Stupid Backstory
Okay, Hahn is supposed to be a drug lords son. And he's supposed to be an ex-cop (Sure, why not.), and he supposedly went to prison for covering up his faither's and brother's crimes in Hong Kong. And upon hearing about his brother's death he beats the crap out of several guards and breaks out of prison, just like an honorable ex-cop who refused to testify against his family would do, right? To quote a far better action movie, "That's pretty fucking thin!"

This movie sums up everything that's wrong with action films.
A paper thin plot, that does nothing but serve as a vehicle to throw as many fight scenes on screen as possible. And the fight scenes aren't that original or mind-blowing. And what's with that fucking cheesy-ass Three Kings wannabe, Total Recall ripped off internal X-ray crap whenever someone gets a bone broken.

I think the biggest insult is the dumb-ass football scene. And I'm gonna leave it at that. Let's just say that when it's all over with, Hahn has kicked the shit out of an entire team of black gangsters and scored a touchdown.

And not to stereotype inner city youth, but through the whole movie the daughter of the crime lord is running around with a gang of children and she's pushing ice cream on them while they hang out and dance in her store. (What fucking fantasy world is this? In the real world, if a bunch of inner city youth hung out dancing in a store, the owner wouldn't buy them ice cream, they'd call security!)

This is the retarded mans version of West Side Story, without the singing and dancing.

This movie sucks ass, through a straw!
