Okay, in a moment of weakness and sheer boredom, my buddy and I went and saw the new Jackie Chan flick last night.
My opinion: Simply put, stay away... far away!!!!
It was bad, just plain bad. The movie couldn't decide if it was a Hong Kong film, a comedy, an action film or pure camp.
The acting was horrible (read: Claire Forlani), the dubbing was aweful (yes, they dubbed the Asian actors - even Jackie), and the comedy was far worse (read: Lee Evans).
The wire-fu was slow and painful. The ending sequence seemed like a low budget melding of Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon and Mortal Kombat. Sammo Hung is credited for the choreography.
I laughed only because I actually paid for the movie (we went to the 10:00 PM show, but its only $6 with college ID).
My buddy lived in Hong Kong for few years, so he thought it was a normal Hong Kong import, but still stated it was the worst Chan film he had seen.
Hands down the worst film I've seen this summer... I will [jericho] never ever ever ever ever ever [/jericho] see this film again.
