Diagonaldi Very well executed
Daninger very weak, unfortunately
TaryBiggBall It was OK. I don't see why everyone loves it so much. It wasn't very smart or deep or well-directed.
Sanjeev Waters A movie that not only functions as a solid scarefest but a razor-sharp satire.
M MALIK no fun no humor even the action was terrible.released in 2005 the myth is a Chinese film starting Jackie Chan & malika shirawat & other actors.the story is weak plus too much of a twist in the end just to reveal that its all a bull crap.a total time wasting movie..i like Jackie Chan but this time he disappoints.old & new style mixed it looks like a C grade movie..don't even watch this for free please..its worst movie ever.my rating is 2/10//do not watch & waste your time or money
unbrokenmetal What do you expect when you see a movie like this? Something huge with thousands of extras and perfect computer effects? Check. Archaeology action like Indiana Jones? Check. Tragical love story with beautiful lady? Check. Speedy stunts, fights and fun like in the good old Jackie Chan flicks? Check. Judging by the sum of its parts, this ought to be the greatest movie of the 21st century. In reality, it's not quite so. 2 tremendously entertaining hours, yes, but not a perfect movie.What are the reasons? I'd like to name three. First, I always see Jackie Chan with a helmet, desperately trying to keep a straight face, when I am supposed to see the general. He just isn't that type of guy. The dreams or historical flashbacks are therefore less convincing than the scenes from the present day. Second, the whole anti-gravity stone thing has much too much Spielberg in it. The myth could have remained a myth, in other words: the audience doesn't always want a scientific explanation why things happen, especially if it's as unlikely as this one. Third, I think what neither worked well in this movie is the villain. From the moment he appears and does the usual "I'll steal the big Blah to rule the world" villain routine, the rest becomes predictable. If the screenplay had dared to move along a different path, it would have evoked less of the "seen it before" feeling. I enjoyed it, but regrettably it's not without the little flaws mentioned.
Gordon-11 This film is a love story that connects two people that are two thousand years apart.The modern plot and the ancient plot merges together seamlessly in this film. Every transition is done well, making the complex plot quite easy to follow. The plot is innovative and original. The film is entertaining and fun, particularly the comedic action scenes. The prime example is the rat glue factory scene and the mausoleum fight scene. The anti-gravity scenes are convincingly made, and results in quite a lot of fun (the mid air swim got me laughing)! The only criticism I have is the wooden acting of Tony Leung. He can really do better than that.
theicetigers I finally got down today and watched it since the song really drawn me into watching the movie. I have to say, this movie was really better than I expected. This isn't just another one of Jackie Chan's funky movie where he just being nice guy and all the sudden beats up everyone. This is totally different. I'm just impress that he actually took this role despite of his age. I was surprise that he looks quite cool in warrior armors. The action scenes were exciting and different compare to his past roles. Yes old Jackie finally stop slapping people with his hands and started slashing with a sword. I highly recommend people to see this movie if they didn't see it yet. The only thing that made me not give this a 10 is because of the ending. I really didn't liked it but maybe others will. Also I didn't think I would get into the romance party of the story, I mean come on, Jackie Chan is so old and the actress is like half his age, but to my surprise I actually did get into it partly because Jackie Chan looks younger somehow in plate armors. At last I have to say this movie is better than the ratings. But don't take my word for it, go see it and find out for yourself.
