Huo Yuanjia is one of my teenage idols. To me, "Huo Yuanjia" is a simple martial arts movie, not a generic martial arts movie. I haven't watched this kind of martial arts movie for many years. In fact, I was obsessed with martial arts when I was young. There are many magazines and books such as "Wulin" and "Fighting". I play sandbags every day, practice some boxing and internal skills according to the books, and get up at 5 o'clock every day to go to the mountains and turn somersaults... So I am a martial arts complex. People, so such a movie that promotes the spirit of martial arts can easily infect me. In the movie theater, my blood boils, as if returning to a teenager.
As a movie in itself, it's just a mediocre, well-made film. Of course, Jet Li's performance in this film has already reached the best level he can perform. The plot and structure of the film are very simple, basically 60% fighting + 30% expressing feelings. Yuan Heping's martial arts design is not surprising (this is also expected), and it is slightly inferior to the "Fighting Heroes" they collaborated with many years ago.
But this is indeed a rare film for many years that purely promotes the spirit of martial arts, with almost no other elements. If you like the spirit of martial arts (there are probably very few such people), then you must watch it, it is best to go to the cinema, I believe it will cheer you up. Otherwise, chances are you'll get bored, like the couple sitting behind me.
