Summary: Not the best but still good
Review: Jackie Chan is not shining in this adventure of his own type (full of fun and action) but elements of supernatural and the way the effects are built upon that makes this move worthed 4 starts. The plot goes well, even if it felt to me as it slowed down unnecessary in the middle of the movie because more time was spent on the hunt for kid instead on pieaces of story on the medalion. Would not go into details of my expirience watiching it because if you are not Jackie Chan fun you would not even see this movie anyway, and if you are you will for sure.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Loved it!
Review: This movie was so good, I saw it in the theaters three times. And it got better each time. This movie is a little different from Jackie Chan's other movies because it is not as funny as Rush Hour or Shanghai Noon. Some of the comedy in this movie was a little awkward and out of place, but I feel like the script writers did this to try to keep up to par with the comedic side of Jackie's other movies. This movie is very dramatic at points and is very emotional which is rare for a Jackie Chan movie. It allows Jackie to show his acting skills very well. There is an underlining love story which is another rarity for Jackie. There is a lot of action in this movie; however, a lot of the action is not as comedic as the stuff you see in Shanghai Knights. It's more of a serious type of action sequence. However, the action is very appropriate for kids. There is almost no bad language in this movie and no sexual referances other than a conversation that can be and was was intended to be mistaken for such. This movie will satisfy all your cravings. It has action, humor, and love story. I would recommend this movie to anyone.

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: a classic jackie chan flick....mostly
Review: I enjoyed this film. It was a classic jackie chan adventure full of comedy, action, and cute chicks. Although this wasn't his best by far it was still very entertaining. His comedic sidekick was great, only part i did not like was the end. I expected a better fight scene. Otherwise if you are a true jackie chan fan you will want to see this movie. Don't be warded off by bad reviews because if you love jackie chan, you already know a lot of his movies have bad story and acting, but it's jackie himself that electrifies the screen.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: It's a comic & fantasy movie, a great one at that
Review: I saw some reviews from people who hated the movie and gave it a bad rating. I believe the reason for this is that they were expecting a serious action movie. This is a funny, comic movie. You gotta watch it with an open mind to fantasy and the type of comedy we expect from Jackie Chan. And it's a very family movie, too; again, as we expect from Jackie Chan. It's a bit less fighting action than we expect from J.Chan, though. You can expect Matrix-style miraculous action scenes, but often with a comic tone. If you're up for that, you're gonna love this movie! =)

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Great Show
Review: I believe this movie was great. I was laughing throughout the whole movie. I would recommend this movie to anyone who likes karate movies, and lots of laughs. Its also a must see for kids,

Rating: 1 stars
Summary: A really, really BIG waste your time....
Review: And when the DVD comes out, don't even think about buying it - this was not just bad but stupid and totally illogical. By the time the flick reaches its' horrendous end, the writers/director don't even try to pretend that they have a story to tell. This was a really BIG waste of Jackie Chan's talent and this is a really BIG insult to anyone with a brain.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Great Movie
Review: I am a die-hard Jackie Chan fan. I also grew up watching kung fu movies on Samurai Sunday. This movie was great! It was hillarious! The guy from Something About Mary was extremely funny. The guy who said that die-hard fans won't get anything out of this movie needs to get off his high horse. 1 star! Please! This is a 5 star flick if you enjoy funny movies. There is a lot of great cult classic movies which appear on Mystery Science Theatre 3000, like Godzilla movies...nuf said!

Rating: 1 stars
Summary: Eech!
Review: I can't imagine even the most die-hard Jackie Chan fan getting anything out of this movie. The script was excremental, the plot merely a vehicle for a collection of assorted action scenes, the acting laughable - it's as if the whole thing were written for young children who shouldn't see it in the first place because of all the intense violence. Vast portions of this story make little or no sense.

To me, the thing it most resembles is that "Jackie Chan Adventures" cartoon show, complete with magical medallion. We might have been better off if they made a movie based on that - at least THOSE characters are interesting, and make sense.

Honestly, this movie was so bad, it's Mystery Science Theatre 3000 fodder. It's a shame they don't make that show anymore, as it's the only way I'm ever likely to derive any pleasure out of seeing this movie. Don't waste your time.

Rating: 1 stars
Summary: One of the most ridiculous movies
Review: This movie was no where near a Jackie Chan-style flick. I don't know if it is because he is getting old or trying to keep up with the "Matrix-style" movies, but it was weak. The acting is terrible, the storyline is broken, and the guy from Something About Mary was appalling. Save your money, if you think you need to see it, wait for it to hit TV or maybe the dollar show.

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: Pleasantly Surprised
Review: I brought my 6 year old karate loving son to this movie ( with apprehension)and left pleasantly surprised. The movie was cute with a lot of action. My son was glued to his seat. Although it was rated PG 13, I feel that a mature youngster watching with an adult would be fine.
