i have no idea why this flick be get such a bad rap by so many imdb user ( some be say it his bad movie ever . what . haven not any of you see cradle 2 the grave . ) my favorite criticism be that the plot be totally stupid and and just an excuse to hang all of the action sequence on . duh . what the crap be you expect from a jet li movie . do you honestly believe that someone think up the story and then just load it up with action . of course not . black mask be awesome and wall to wall action throughout nearly it entire running time . it also deliciously gruesome and and we get plenty of severed limb and decapitation and and creative way of watch the bad guy ( and quite a few innocent people and too . ) get slaughter . most of li other martial art film be nursery school when compare to black mask while there be no hold back on the gratuitous violence and bloodshed and or action sequence whatsoever . and that make me a happy camper . again represent if you go into a jet li movie expect magnificent dialog and an intriguing plot and you be go for the wrong reason . black mask be probably my favorite of his movie ( though and beware of the horrendous dubbing ) .
