Just looted a copy of this from a Hong Kong merchant vessel.
DM (or is it YT?) is right. The first 2 fight scenes were very cool. Fights on raised platforms are always fun, but I would have liked to have seen more leaping from platform to platform, and running up and down the stairs. I like when they run up and down the stairs.
The other enjoyable bout was against the American. It's getting a little cliche' having the giant no-neck caucasian shouting 'AAARRRRRGGGGHH' and running at the little oriental man with the ponytail, but 'Fearless' made it work and the way the end was handled was a nice surprise.
Unfortunately the movie started to drag at this point. I was just waiiting for the final fight which (as DM pointed out) was anticlimactic.
A nice film but probably more culturally meaningful to a Chinese audience.
