Summary: So bad, it makes an hour and a half seem like an eternity.
Review: This movie is bad, bad, bad. It has no plot, no acting and no character development. I give it two stars for two basic reasons, special effects (seamlessly woven into the action and paying homage to old martial arts movies) and humor (Lee Evans's performance is hilarious).A Hong Kong detective (Jackie Chan) is investigating a well-known but mysterious international smuggler (Julian Sands) when he discovers that the smuggler is after an ancient magical medallion that has the ability to resurrect people and give them eternal life. The chosen keeper of the medallion, a kid, is kidnapped and taken to Dublin where the smuggler will use him to unleash the power of the medallion. The detective follows the trail and recruits the help of two Interpol agents, an old love (Claire Forlani) and a clumsy and less than courageous partner (Lee Evans). Trying to save the kid, the detective gets killed and resurrected, with superhuman powers and eternal life added for bonus. Then the battle for good and evil ensues. This movie is boring, slow moving, very badly acted (although is cast with good leads) and not entertaining at all. The characters are weak and ridiculous, and overall the movie's quality is below most past Jackie Chan's movies. Don't waste your time and money.

Summary: great movie
Review: This movie was pretty good. And the action is fun.
Rating: 
Summary: Possibly the worst movie I've seen.
Review: I wish I were joking when I say that this is probably the worst movie I've seen (okay, no, House of the Dead was worse, but still) - but I'm not. The jokes are lame, the plot is non exsistant, the action is cheesy (what's going on Jackie??), there are random scenes thrown into this movie that make NO SENSE at all and have absolutely no bearing whatsoever on the movie. The blue screen moments are so bad that you will feel like you're watching something from Mystery Science Theatre 3000. If I could give this ZERO stars, I would because there is nothing redeeming about this movie at all. I'm so sad about it, because normally I'm quite entertained by Jackie Chans work (mostly his Hong Kong work) but this is just trash.

Summary: "NOT SO GOOD"
Review: I have always been a Jackie Chan fan and I own all of his movies but this one is probably one of his worst. In this movie he plays as a cop who dies and comes back to life because of the Medallions powers. He get lots of strength and can take bullets without being killed. This is one of his movies where he doesn't have the cool stunts and all the action. What you expect, Jackie is 50 years old this year but I think he could still do what he did in his older movies. All of his current time movies have something in them that gives him power and strength that a normal person wouldn't have.
SUCH AS
Tuxedo-in Tuxedo
Medallion-in Medallion If your a fan of Jackie Chan I would recommend:
1-Rumble in the Bronx
2-Jackie Chans First Strike
3-Who Am I
4-Mr. Nice Guy They should make a movie though with Jackie Chan vs. Jet Li. Kind of like the Freddy vs. Jason but ahve Jackie Chan and Jet Li in it. I think Jackie Chan would win but it would be a close.
Rating:
Summary: Not one of Jackie's Best
Review: Jackie Chans latest offering in a kind of Indiana Jones in a Tuxedo sort of movie. Plenty of comedy, action and the usual impressive Chan choreography, but the script is weaker than some of his more recent movies, and this makes the film feel a bit flat. Good fun, but don't get your hopes too high.

Summary: Jackie Chan is loseing it !
Review: This movie was so boring,Jackie Chan can do better than this.The movie makes Jackie Chan look bad,the fight sceens are average and boring,the comedy is not funny especialy that british guy(Lee Evans),he trys so desperately hard to be funny,it becomes exstremely anoiying to even look at this guy.The plot is out dated,it's been done so many times before,good vs evile.There were only a couple of good stunts,the best one is when Jackie quikly climbs over a large gate to chase after a crimminal.The finnal fight sceen was pitaful,jackie and julian just jump up into the air and throw a couple of punches and kicks at each other,it doesn't last very long.Julian Sands doesn't know the martial arts in real life,so it looked really bad. The special features are not even worth looking at,the deleted sceens just show some stupid out takes of them laughing because they can't get the lines right.Jackie Chan should go back to doing his Hong Kong Stly movies,movies like (Supercop,Supercop2,Legend of Drunken Master).Most of the peopel who reviewed this movie didn't like it,that tells you right there that this movie is not worth buying or renting.

Summary: Another Jackie Chan Mess...
Review: I don't know why this film is so boring and hard to watch; using the word "bad" to describe this film is too harsh. I mean, its not trying to stink, Jackie does his stunts fairly well and the story is not that terrible. Maybe its the really bad acting by the supporting cast or the fact that Julian Sands is wasted in this film? Maybe its the fact that one Jackie Chan film is pretty much like any other Jackie Chan film, a few interesting stunts but nothing new. This film also ended with a thud as well. Don't bother trying on this medallion, its really not worth the money.

Summary: One of Jackie's worst. Still nice for a lazy Sunday.
Review: The dialogue is bad. But it's made SO much worse by all the crappy dubbing! There is very little Cantonese so it would have been fine to give us subtitles. Actually subtitles is ALWAYS preferred. Jackie should know this by now. I can take a cheesy fun movie once in a while...but Anthony Wong's voice actually changes in the film! It's him when he speaks to the English speakers (he can speak English fine) but they dubbed him when he's speaking to the Cantonese actors. Great...two voices?!?! Don't spend too much money on this flop. But it's still fun to see Jackie...even in the crap. Surprisingly there are some good co-stars in one of Jackie's worst. Skip Medallion until you've seen the rest. Or Tuxedo...Medallion might be better just because of all the guest stars in this film.

Summary: Flying Jackie
Review: The Medallion marks the return of Jackie Chan to his Hong Kong cinema roots and style..sort of..Veteran martial arts HK director Gordon Chan in his first international/English language film manages to add a lot of the action sequences that gave Hong Kong films the cult status enjoyed the world over: the brilliantly executed fights and stunts, with so much jumping and flying off walls (literarly) that will make Spiderman watch in envy.
And of course, Jackie Chan being Jackie Chan, he manages to add his unique comic style to almost every scene he is in.The universal appeal of Chan and his extraordinary abilities both as an actor and as a martial arts master, endears him to the viewers and makes his films highly enjoyable even if the script and direction are not great,(and indeed the script of Medallion is pretty lame, the usual good vs a psycho evil who wants to destroy/control the world, with added Chinese myths to the mould)
Helping Chan fight evil is the highly talented Brit stand up comedian Lee Evans, who is slowly making a name for himself in Hollywood after the success of There is Something About Mary, and Claire Forlani, who not only is one of the most beautiful women in the world, but she does a competent job as Chan's love interest and side kick.
Evil is portrayed by Julian Sands,who does an ok job. Although he is an excellent actor, his choice of some roles dod not help his career.(Remember he has Mercy and Boxing Helena to his name!!)
One refreshing aspect of the film was the choice of Dublin as the setting for the action,instead of London, Paris or Prague that international/American directors mainly choose for any European based plots.
So Medallion is not a film that will blow you away,but it has Jackie Chan doing very well what he does and knows best,it has the angelic Forlani, and action that will keep you entertained throughout its 84 minutes.Not Bad.

Summary: Entertaining...
Review: This 90 minute action adventure is entertaining especially if you enjoy Jackie Chan movies. The film is full of the familiar Jackie Chan stunts and fighting sequels with some "matrix" like effects thrown in.
The story revolves around a young Chinese boy who is kidnapped by an international smuggler called Snakehead (Julian Sands) and a medallion considered the holy grail of eastern mythology which holds the secret to eternal life. The legend states that every thousand years a child is chosen who can combine the two halves of the medallion and restore life to the dead.
Agent Eddie Yang (Chan) working with Interpol in Hong Kong discovers that Snakehead has kidnapped a boy from a Buddhist Temple, but doesn't understand why. The chase for Snakehead and ultimately the boy leads Eddie to Dublin, Ireland.
Upon locating the boy at a shipyard, Eddie is drowned in a cargo container that sinks to the bottom of the harbor. Unbeknownst to anyone the boy has the ability to resurrect Eddie and does so with a medallion giving Eddie super human strength and immortal power.
Snakehead seeks to gain the powers of the medallion to become totally immortal. However, the interesting thing is one must die first to be restored immortal.
