Review of Birth of the Dragon (2017) by Nathaniel S — 28 Aug 2017

This movie will by no means win any awards. it won't herald any wondrous critical acclaim or even warrant any life changing movie going experiences for someone who watches it. that said, it was a good movie, one that certainly has critics hating on it, but one that fans will love.

It's less of a telling of a historic event ( which the movie is directly based on an actual semi historic event) and more of a super hero movie, portraying lee as a flawed character, one that we hadn't seen him as in any of his movies, And by the end he does show growth.

I think this movie will be seen more as one of portraying lee as many of us see him, less like a man, and more like a legend. I think the majority of the people who go watch this movie will find their own reasons for liking it or disliking it.
