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

| Jan 12, 2021

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.

| Jun 6, 2018

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

| Dec 7, 2017

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

Really very good.

Full Review | Original Score: 4/5 | Dec 9, 2007

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

Despite a number of corny moments, the film is an enjoyable and exciting celebration of a memorable life and career.
