Dragon: The Bruce Lee Story Reviews
Best digested as entertainment that features reminders of Lee's philosophy, passions, and physical abilities, sold through a sensational lead performance from Jason Scott Lee.
| Original Score: B- | Mar 9, 2025
...an often engrossing biopic that filters its subject’s existence through an admittedly (and entertainingly) stylized lens...
| Original Score: 3.5/4 | Mar 1, 2024
If you go into Dragon: The Bruce Lee Story expecting accuracy and fact then you aren't going to get it but that doesn't stop it being a highly entertaining movie full of humour, action and romance

Martial arts biopic has violence, sex, racist language.
| Original Score: 3/5 | Dec 9, 2020
This all-too-reverent homage to Lee, based on a book by his widow Linda, unreels like an authorized biography -- full of mystical mumbo-jumbo and trite, trashy romance.

The early scenes are thrillingly edited, like a flurry of karate kicks.... Later the film loses its way -- largely in romance.

Jason Scott Lee does his namesake proud in the title role, but the film tries to court too many different audiences, with lethal results.

Though enjoybale, this old-fashioned biopic of the late Asian star, suffers from sappy sentimentality and excessive melodramatics.
