Reviews for Enter the Dragon
Top CriticWorth seeing for Lee, but still unforgivably wasteful of his talents.

Enter The Dragon marked a new high point in Bruce's ability to marry brilliant choreography with dynamic shooting styles.
10/16/01
Top CriticCertainly one of the baddest movies there is -- in every sense of the term.
01/01/00
The only real disappointment about Enter the Dragon is that it is Bruce Lee's last movie.
08/24/08
Top CriticIf kung fu is now the standard badass language, Enter the Dragon -- featuring Lee's great slow-burn stare -- is the first grammar lesson.
08/14/07
It's worth catching this schlock art film to see Lee play a 007-type super-agent, who is an expert in kung-fu.
05/29/07
Presents a powerful, kinetic ballet by a martial arts master at the peak of his form--just try looking away from him.
05/02/07
Rising popularity of the Chinese martial arts as screen entertainment climaxes in fine crescendo in this violence-drenched actioner.
03/01/07
Top CriticNonstop action is what these films are about, and that's what you get here.
03/01/07
Top CriticRipping entertainment overall, with just enough meat for amateur sociologists.
03/01/07
...it's still great entertainment and remains a first-class action thriller in first-class style.
07/13/06
High karate and low kitsch ... Forget the dopey James Bond plot and train your eyes, little grasshopper, on Lee as he takes on army of henchmen, demonstrating his revolutionary kung-fu moves and a fire-breathing squint.

On an adventure level, the performances are quite good. The one by Mr. Lee, not only the picture's supermaster killer but a fine actor as well, is downright fascinating.

Top CriticFor martial arts fans, this is THE one. (I'm not such a fan.)
