Waiting to Laugh

Jackie's martial arts antics remain admirable, but you can enjoy those and still laugh in his "Shanghi" movies. He's fun to watch, but he also falls prey to so many movies that just aren't funny-and this is one of them. The dialog stinks, the jokes fall way short, and the slap stick bites, to put it mildly. In this manner, it does strongly resemble the original, but when the movie itself is so bad, star cameos cannot save it. Do not waste your money or your time. What a waste, for an otherwise lovable guy. May 20, 2008

80-million dollar flop...

There isn't a single thing right with this movie. Bad computer graphics make real location shots look fake. The actors playing the two main heroes (Chan and Coogan) are horribly miscast. The fight scenes look boring (it's a miracle, considering Jackie Chan's participation, and I'll attribute it to the towering ineptitude of Frank Coraci as the director). The plot (I am being charitable using this word) takes totally unnecessary liberties with the setting and with the original material (the classic 1873 Jules Verne novel).

Do yourself a favor. Stay away from this turkey - buy the DVD of the 1956 multiple Oscar-winning adaptation of the same novel instead! May 15, 2008

Pure fun!

This movie is pure fun! Don't expect the Jules Verne version, or a "classic" Jackie Chan movie though! The "idea" from the book is there, and there is plenty of martial arts sequences, but not much else in either case. Still, there is plenty of light-hearted entertainment here... continuous action, chemistry, wit, suspense, surprise, tenderness... My family and I enjoy this film everytime we watch it! May 12, 2008

I felt like a fool for 80 days after watching this film.

This is one of the worst movie of Jackie Chan. It's boring. There are no funny scenes. The scenes look fake. The acting is not engaging. Anrnold could not save the film.

I tried very hard to stay in the theatre until the end. After 30 minutes, I felt very sleepy. It's one of the worst movies of Jackie Chan. What a waste of money and time! March 6, 2008

Thanks.

Very fast delivery. Product was as described, very good condition. Original wrapping. Thank you. February 8, 2008
