 Skip this one... May 07, 2010
Back when Jet Li was the in-thing, he made a slew of films that had teenage boys in a whirlwind. Who doesn't want to see a bunch of butt-kicking! I, along with my friends, were part of that cloud of over-zealous movie goers who considered Jet Li the godsend, the one who was going to deliver us from boring cinema and keep us glued to our theater seats.
For the most part, I still quite enjoy his films.
`The One' is not one that I enjoy. In fact, even upon its release, I was turned off by the film. I remember when I first saw the trailer. I was so excited. My friend and I had just seen `The Kiss of the Dragon' and we were only TOO excited for more Li action. This had to be great. After about three minutes I knew that my expectations were far too high. Upon further reflection, this has become not only one of the biggest disappointments for me as a movie-goer, but I the end one of the worst films of this past decade.
Easy.
The plot revolves around single man and his quest to become invincible. The film presents to us a multiverse, a world where parallel universes contain variations of every individual. One man has traveled from universe to universe, killing off his other selves in order to gain all their strength. Things get tricky when he has only one left to kill because that one isn't going down without a fight.
And fight they do.
The plot is kind of campy in parts and not very well fleshed out, but the biggest disappointment was the action scenes. This came out around the time when it was cool to make your movies look like video games. I never understood that, and it always upset me. This movie is the kind of that concept and it is ultimately a huge failure. The acting is also very weak. Jet Li can't really act, but he can fight. He should stick to that and only that. The big `this movie will be awesome because Jet Li with fight Jet Li' idea was a big failure because that eventuality is far less impressive than it should be. I'd rather see Li fight other people in a better choreographed fight scene. This was just awkward.
Bitterly unrewarding, `The One' is a big dud.
 The One not one of his better movies May 03, 2010
It is the opinion of the writter that Mr. Li should stick to what he knows best. This would be traditional Kund Fu movies at which he is expert. Also Cops and robbers type movies at which he also excels. Leave the futuristic and science fiction movies to others. The One is a very weak movie although I am sure it will have a following just the same.

this one the one was incredible with the story it was awesome cant wait to get this one on blu ray-- cgi on dvd was great action was intense and never died out what more do u want from a movie reccomended to my favorites
Jet Li must martial up the courage to fight with himself Aug 08, 2009
This is a multifaceted story of a multi-verse in which they even took the premise form the immoral. Turns out if you kill your other self in a parallel universe you get to split his chi with your otherness.
So now it is down to two. And the only person Gabe Law (Jet Li) can confide in is his better half T.K. Law (Carla Gugino). At first she hummers Gabe then when she is sure he is telling the truth it is a tad too late.
There is lots of action with kicking, shooting, and blowing things up. Both Gabs by this time are toughies and nothing can stop them. We find that it is impossible to not kibitz.
The question is in the end is there time enough for love?

 Lame Movie, Hilarious Ending! Jul 07, 2009
The production values are high, but what they produce is crap. The ending is so bad it's awesome with dialogue like: "I am Yu-Law...I don't need to know you, YOU need to know ME! I will be The One".
Even the fight scenes aren't entertaining. The only saving grace is that the core idea of the story is cool (i.e. killing all your alternate reality selves results in ultimate power), but in the end it's basically just a merging of the TV show "Sliders" and "Rumble In The Bronx".
Honestly, I would have paid to see a 90 minute version of the last 28 seconds of the film where the evil Yu-Law kicks the crap out of thousands of convicts that attack him atop a pyramid on a prison planet. No story, just silly, over the top action.
