Great movie, & from what I've read about Bruce's life story, very accurate. The only thing that I did not like was that it was subtitled & in Chinese, which is cool, but you miss a lot of the action trying to read the subtitles. ANd there are some scenes where the actors spoke in English. & if this was not the case they should have dubbed it in English to sell to the English speaking market.But other than that, I am very happy with it. It was promply sent to me by Amazon...

This is a must,for any fan of bruce Lee. Intro by his brother Robert, is the best I seen on a Bruce Lee story,it is not a kung fu movie, though it does have it, it is beautifully done, not fantasy like so many others, you learn about his youth,how it all began,excellent film quality, hope some day it will be english dubbed so others can enjoy,an amazing story of Bruce as a human being,and you believe the actor is really him.

This was so disappointing! Dont waste ur money, doesnt show the true view of wing chun. They re-did the fight scene that bruce and chuck did in the old movie.

From a long time Bruce Lee fan. It was interesting to see how he grew up. Good add to collection!

I thought this was a good movie about bruce lee's life and how he end up coming to America but when I saw the previews I thought it was more about Bruce lee's training with Ip Man. especially on youtube they were calling it Ip Man 3 which of course I knew it wasn't Ip Man 3 as I own all 3 of the Ip man movies.

I am a Bruce Lee since the 1960's. This movie overall is good and comes from Mr. Lee's family member. To learn about his young years one can see he (Bruce Lee) was headed for greatest and he was an exceptional person that change martial arts forever. He was ahead of his time.

Der Film beginnt damit, dass zwei Geschwister von Bruce Lee sagen, dass dies hier die Geschichte seiner Kindheit und ihrer Familie ist. Und genau das zeigt der Film. Es gibt auch Kämpfe, aber vor allem zeigt es das Leben in der Familie von Bruce in Hong Kong (es endet damit, dass er nach USA geht). Ich selbst bin kein "echter" Bruce Lee Fan, aber ich interessiere mich für Kampfkunst und für China. Mir ist dieser Film nahe gegangen. Vielleicht, weil es eine so warmherzige Familie ist, in der Bruce aufgewachsen ist, und er so gute Freunde hatte. Ich schätze die Einblicke in das chinesische (Familien-)Leben, die der Film zeigt, sehr. Die Kampfszenen sind interessant, man sieht die Wurzeln von Bruce Lee im Wing Tsun, aber es sind wenige und sie sind in der Tat nicht das, was diesen Film ausmacht. Auch dass er nicht synchronisiert ist, sondern "nur" englische Untertitel hat, passt gut.

Cine Asia:From his birth on November 27th 1940 to his departure for San Francisco in 1959, discover how Bruce Lee lived through war and persecution and survived the brutal street-gangs of 1950's Hong Kong before going on to live his dreams.Produced by Robert Lee, Bruce Lee's younger brother, and based on his own first-hand experience, Young Bruce Lee is a breathtaking and evocative homage to the man who, uniquely, brought the power and majesty of Chinese Kung Fu to millions around the world.Showcasing an incredible hi-impact tribute to the celebrated Coliseum fight from Way of the Dragon, Young Bruce Lee is an inspirational motion picture event that is not to be missed!Bruce Lee never goes out of style. As an adult he only made a few films, but he made a huge impression on worldwide audiences and brought Hong Kong cinema into the larger world's consciousness. There has been no shortage of films seeking to capitalize on his iconic image, from the original glut of Brucesploitation films in the 70's and 80's, all the way through to biographical features over the years which only tenuously resemble the truth. However, while Hollywood tackled the artist as a young adult in America with Dragon: The Bruce Lee Story, no one had really focused on where the man came from. His youth has been an untapped resource for understanding the phenomenon that was Bruce Lee, until now.Young Bruce Lee (AKA Bruce Lee, My Brother) is an attempt to show where Bruce came from. The story comes from his younger brother Robert, and while it is certainly a pretty glowing account, it does have quite a bit of backstory on Bruce and his family relationships that has not really been explored on screen.The film follows Bruce from birth through his time as a child star in Hong Kong cinema and ultimately to his forced exile to the USA as a young adult. A lot happened along the way, and Bruce wasn't always the tough guy we saw on screen.Critical response to the film has been rather tepid as it relates to the film's thematic content, with our James Marsh commenting that,BRUCE LEE, MY BROTHER is little more than an ornately decorated vessel - that looks great, sounds great, yet contains almost nothing of real interest.I can't help but agree with this statement. The film never really finds a narrative flow, there is little discernible plot and the seems to merely be a series of vignettes of Bruce's young life. It doesn't really succeed in being engaging in the way it should, the vignettes prove that there is ample material and good feeling surrounding a project like this that it should have been better. However, it never really gels.On the other hand, the film is technically superb. The cinematography is absolutely top-notch and stylistically very forward. The entire film looks as though it was shot on a sound stage, but in a very interesting and endearing way. Even the outdoor scenes are lit as though they are modeling product shots, which could be annoying, but the way it is done is simply breathtaking. All of this stylistic license helps to create an aura around Bruce that foreshadows his ultimate position among the Gods of Asian cinema, and for every moment I was left bored by the story telling, I was awed by the visuals twice as long.Overall, Young Bruce Lee is a mediocre film that was shot beautifully and is well-worth watching if only for the technical achievement that it is.[...]

This is an excellent film about Bruce Lee before he went to America,based on a book written by his brother.This is a must watch film for anyone who is truly interested in him.

When you think of Bruce Lee one thing thats automatically springs to mind was his immense fighting skills and in this film alas we get to see them just once.This film suffered greatly from the lack of a decent action director and fight co-ordinator and the one fight on show was so badly edited and disjointed.I felt this film could have offered so much more but it failed to deliver on this level.As a story it could have been any family and in the end what could have been a classic turned more of damp squid of a film.There were excellent performances from the cast but the overall look and feel of the film leaves the viewer wanting so much more.

This is a good film and one that I did enjoy but I must say that it's not what I expected. After seeing the trailer and checking out the synopsis, my expectations were that this would be a film tracing Bruce Lee's early life, his journey to stardom and his martial arts. What you get is the first two but this film is severely lacking in the martial arts.It misses huge chunks of his martial arts development and while there are a couple of fights you will no doubt be disappointed. The characters even allude to Bruce Lee's fighting skills but we just don't get to see him actually develop and train. It's like there is a huge gap in the narrative.I feel I must also give Cine Asia a slap on the wrist. They usually do a great job with these movies, but the case sleeve features 7 images, 6 of which are depicting fight scenes, which is very misleading. The copy on the back is even worse; I quote "Showcasing an incredible hi-impact tribute to the celebrated Coliseum fight from Way of the Dragon, Young Bruce Lee is an inspirational motion picture event that is not to be missed!" Don't believe this for an instant.However, despite my criticism, I still feel that this is a very good film with some good performances and cinematography. It's narrated by and based on the book by Bruce's younger, Robert Lee, who gives a touching tribute to his brother. Just beware this film is more about Bruce Lee the man, than Bruce Lee the legend.
