I admit, the fighting scene are quite awesome to watch, but that does not mean that the audience had to endure 90 minutes of pure dialogue and boring event preparation leading to Dr Sun arrival. I almost fall asleep watching the first 90 minutes, seeing ordinary people going about their daily activities, which does not really link to the main theme of the movie. A great cast, but the direction and plot lets the whole movie down. Watch this movie if you have really nothing to do for the day.
