Romeo Must Die Reviews
| Original Score: B- | Sep 7, 2011
This hip-hop Romeo and Juliet is awful.
| Original Score: 1/5 | Dec 28, 2010
slick, Joel Silver-produced action movie with a borderline straight to video feel.
| Feb 9, 2006
Our star-crossed lovers are so emotionally off-channel, it's easy to forget the origin of the film's title...
| Dec 2, 2002
Straight-ahead action would have been more than sufficient.

| Original Score: B- | Mar 22, 2000
The best scenes mesh together the kind of super-gymnastic moves and dotty fun which would make Jackie Chan go green.
| Original Score: 3/5 | Jan 1, 2000
The film never stops moving, and it's always a pleasure to watch.

When there isn't a fight or a car chase going on, there's nothing worth watching to fill the time.

You catch Mr. Li in bite-size chunks instead of the family-style helpings in his other work.

Romeo Must Die has a great look and an edgy feel, along with some broad swaths of humor.

Enjoyable.

The reason to sit through [Romeo Must Die's] uninspired, formulaic moves ... is its half-dozen spectacular fight sequences.

Jet Li is, quite simply, the Michael Jordan of martial arts.

A plodding, play-it-safe rendition of The Family Feud.
Full Review | Original Score: 2.5/4 | Jan 1, 2000
The one-man-gang brawls are scant -- too scant for a movie with a crime 'n' corruption story line as flat as a Rockford file.

It's not Shakespeare, but Romeo Must Die is a major kick.
| Jan 1, 2000
Despite the cagey titling, Hong Kong action star Jet Li's first stateside leading role has little if anything to do with Will Shakespeare's doomed lovepuppy, and more's the pity.
