Of all the sweet footage, interviews, and movies of Bruce Lee I have watched over the years...this is the first one to make him look like a cocky douche... I will never watch this turd again

I don't feel like Bruce Lee was portrayed properly in this movie. From what I've seen, read, heard about his life, he wasn't a scumbag like he's depicted in this movie. Definitely one of the worst movies about his life.

Fun in parts, but hardly the stuff of legend. The fighting scenes needed an action director, especially one with a background in martial arts. Too often the movie feels lightweight, almost like a tv movie, and so fails to make a punch where it should matter. Disappointing, especially for Bruce Lee fans.

Bruce Lee could very well be a little cocky in real life like this movie depicts.... so what? That was his personality and it suits him... as a matter of fact the only guy in the history of mankind who deserves to be cocky IS Bruce Lee so live with it!! The movie was really entertaining and the action scenes where really good. Not for a minute it seemed over the top or even boring.
