Yeah, I'm not a big fan of those kinds of movies (martial arts). I can appreciate the talent and action potential (Jet Li and all the rest), but they all run together after awhile, especially the ones set in modern times, which seem to really go bonkers on the stunts/camera work. Done to such a degree that it's not even remotely grounded in reality (not that movies have to be, of course, but sometimes things can be too "over the top"...to the point it's distracting and aggravating. I find those kinds of movies often do that to me).
I'll watch the occasional Jet Li flick on FX or USA and it makes my head hurt, halfway into a big fight scene.
