O Dragão Invencível

It is average action movie. Though story is interesting script is some messy makes us to loose interest. There is no shocking suspense for serial killing. This part is so weak. Other hand leading action star Jin Zhang does not impress us as his previous movies like 'Kill Zone', ' Grandmaster' etc. He is impressive martial arts actor especially for his flying actions. Lady yoga trainer is another attraction for this spiritless story plot. Her fight with Jin in train is main interesting part in the movie as me. Over all movie is once time watchable not with expectation of perfect action movie.

I was expecting as good from Max Zhang. Action scenes from the actor of Master Z was not bad. But then, the real story of what the director is bringing to the fans is totally out of the line. I would not understand what they are trying to mean by showing the 9 headed dragon and also tattoos display. Anyway, I would opt out of any films by this director already.

In short: Not recommended, not a good production overall. One of those three stars is for the budget which partially seems to have been there, one is for costume/backdrop and stagework, i would detract 1 for both martial arts choreography (overly complicated spinkicks and pushkicks that would never work or be used) put on that horrible effects and u got a really bad movie. This can barely be compared to the old 70's and 80'skung fu movies. This is bad, the only saving grace is the plotline which first denotes the dragon as metaphorical and keeps the interest not fully dead.

This is the worst of the worst movies out of Hong Kong so far in 2019. It might become the champion of the worst movie ever made in Hong Kong. What a big joke, man. The screenplay is so childish and ridiculous, the directing, the costume and make-up, the....Well, none of them was right, just ridiculously bad. The hair stylist for the leading actor should be fired. It's just bad, through and through. Zhang Jin was totally wasted by this absurd movie, and he should be aware that if he kept signing up to play roles in such kinda lousy movies with so laughable screenplays and bad directors, soon he'd be marginalized and pushed aside as a B-level actor. All the supporting actors in this movie also suck big time. Nothing is right, so don't waste your time and money to watch this brain-dead movie. It'll harm your brain.

I hadn't heard about this movie from writer and director Fruit Chan prior to getting to sit down and watch it. And it being a Hong Kong action movie was essentially all that was needed to catch my interesting.

It would be an overstatement to say that "The Invincible Dragon" (aka "Jiu long bu bai") is an outstanding moment in Hong Kong cinema. This movie was a massive swing and a miss.

For me it was the storyline that was the source of where it all went wrong, because there was no red line throughout the course of the movie. It all just felt random and like something director Fruit Chan made up as they went along, without taking into consideration what happened just 15 minutes ago. The movie was a befuddled mess of chaotic confusion and very little sense permeated the movie.

And it didn't help much that the character gallery in the movie was about as interesting as wet cardboard. So it was an uphill battle that the actors and actresses were fighting, and they weren't doing much to win the battle.

I managed to endure the movie to the end, but believe you me that this was a prolonged experience, and the movie felt to be dragging on forever and ever. As the movie hit 55 minutes, I was good and ready to call it quits, because the movie just trotted on in a stupor. But I endured, and I hung in there to the very end.

However, I can honestly say that this movie is not one that I will be sitting down to watch again. My rating of "The Invincible Dragon" is a mere three out of ten stars.
