I was looking forward to this movie until I read that review. I had no idea it was supposed to be a kid's flick.

From what I've been hearing, this is actually good...

That stupid kid's storyline ruined any decent chance that Jackie and Jet could have had some real interaction with each other. There was one fight scene with Jackie and Jet going at it with each other and while that was awesome, it is regrettably only 5 minutes sandwiched in between a movie that clocks just under 2 hours. That kid reminded me too much of that other annoying kid from "Last Action Hero". If You're really desperate to see Jackie Chan do some drunken master and Jet Li do some monkey-fu, then rent the thing on DVD and fast forward to the fight scenes. The rest of the story is inconsequential anyways.
The worse part of this movie was probably the lame street toughs. Holy shit, think of any generic street tough story line from any of them 80's type movies (Karate Kid, Never Ending Story, Adventures in Babysitting) and make them twice as ALF then give them a gun and you have the street toughs in this movie. I think as a prerequisite to putting street toughs in any movie, you must watch "The Outsiders" and if you can't do better than that, then just copy the characters verbatim and leave it be. There should be no excuse in making street toughs this lame.

Really enjoyed it! A hell of a lot!
Is it the best movie no.. But its a fucking fun movie!
The fights are really good, Yuen Woo Ping knocks it out of the park with the fights, especially the Jackie and Jet's first ever match up..
bastard_robo wrote:YES! That was funny as hell...
When Jackie and Jet are fighting over how to train the kid was classic..

Indeed. Chan knows how to do the funny bits quite well. I bet the outtakes to this movie are hilarious.
The two girls: Sparrow and Witch were impressive as well. Incredibly beautiful women with solid acting and kung fu moves.

Jet Li does a magnificent turn in TFK as The Monkey King, dont think I've ever seen him have so much fun in a movie!
My review - 8/10 just for the amount of fun I had watching JC & JL share some screen time - like two tigers on a mountain!

so, are your thumbs different sizes? i mean, lets do the math.......1 thumb out of two would seem to be a 50% rating, yet 7 out of 10 denotes 70%, UNLESS one of your thumbs was partially cut off in some sort of freak accident.....or if you were just born with a feakishly small, or large, thumb which would explain how 1 of your thumbs is worth 70% and the other only 30%....and if that is the case, then 1 thumb up could also mean 3 out of 10, right?
