Gordie's Movie Reviews

I just like to watch movies. Here's a blog that keeps track of how I felt after watching them so that you could also watch or avoid them when you want to sit back and enjoy a movie.

The Myth

This is a Jackie Chan movie so if you're looking for his signature moves with comedic action, then you've found it in this movie. Unfortunately, that's all there was to this movie. I wished that there would've been more innovative action because if you've seen a Jackie Chan movie, you've seen most of his stunts and moves in this movie. The good thing is that you don't have to re-watch one of his older movies to see his stunts. I especially like 2 action sequences. One when there is fighting on a conveyer belt and the other one when he is fighting Indian guards at a temple. Is this enough to justify watching this movie? I'm not sure. The storyline could've contained more to be desired as well. Jackie Chan has these dreams about being an emporor and the movie switches back to modern day when he wakes up. Soon, everything is blurred, and you don't know what is real and what is not. Despite these criticisms, this is a wonderfully and colourfully cinematographed movie. You can't go wrong watching this movie if you're a Jackie Chan fan. 8/10
