Bob Graham

Enter the Dragon goes far beyond the philosophical, of course. Its best sequences, and the only real reason for seeing it again, involve Lee's phenomenal physical and emotional presence. Read full review

Tom Breihan

Even though the movie was, in a lot of ways, a glorious mess, it turned out to be a huge success on just about every level. Read full review

Andy Patrizio

If you want plot and thespian displays, well, look elsewhere. For action, you can't top this film.

Dave Kehr

Ripping entertainment overall, with just enough meat for amateur sociologists. Read full review

Jay Cocks

The movie can be flat-out fun, a sort of carnival of combat that can turn even a sophisticated audience into a group of gawking kids at a Saturday matinee. Read full review

Chris Cabin

The lack of sentimentality helps focus the viewer on what the film depicts exceptionally well, namely wanton bad behavior and enthralling, wall-to-wall ass-kicking. Read full review

Worth seeing for Lee, but still unforgivably wasteful of his talents. Read full review

A true classic and a huge success to all martial arts entertainment. Bruce Lee showing both physical and philosophical moments in the silver screen was what made him a true legend.

A pop culture gem of a film, watching "Enter the Dragon" is like watching a comic book come to life but without any of the superpowers. Lee's choreography and super hard work/passion shines especially when placed in well-shot locations that take advantage of different fighting scenarios. TheA pop culture gem of a film, watching "Enter the Dragon" is like watching a comic book come to life but without any of the superpowers. Lee's choreography and super hard work/passion shines especially when placed in well-shot locations that take advantage of different fighting scenarios. The entire film crew deliver a piece of work that is rich with culture, colours, music, period pieces from the 70s, and of course, action where the post production sound effects make you feel every bone crushing hit the actors deliver to each other. The film is light on plot, but honestly, the plot is not the focus, but rather, an excusable vehicle to showcase Lee's unprecedented work where the villains get what they deserve and the heroes do their best to reach their dreams. The amount of passion put into the film just leaps off the screen and everybody involved deserves an applause. There is a reason why it sparked the popularity of Martial Arts and helped inspire many others from filmmakers to bodybuilders. I bow my head down to the late great master...but I'll make sure to keep my eyes on the prize!… Expand

Movie from the 70s, so expect some bad scenes and old fashion. Sometimes the pictures are looking even ridiculous. But the story is not bad and some of the actions scenes are showing great martial art skills.
