Silly, But Fun & Fast-Moving
Added 6/4/2009
If you enjoyed Jim Carrey's "The Mask," you might enjoy this Jackie Chan film. It has a similar storyline but instead of a mask, it's a suit someone puts on and the hero receives supernatural powers.
It's all extremely silly but with a lot of slapstick and outrageous scenes, you are going to get some great laugh-out-loud scenes and some really stupid not-funny stuff....especially in a Chan movie. To me, the good stuff in here outweighed the bad. Jackie is an amazing man, with the stunts he can do at his age.
Meanwhile, Jennifer Love Hewitt is easy on the eyes, especially showing us her body, but her character in here is pretty lame. The whole movie is pretty brainless but - if you know that in advance - it's a fast-moving 99 minutes and a good diversion from the seriousness of life.

Love Jackie Chan
Added 1/28/2009
Cant get enough of Jackie and his great moves. The stunts in the movie are very cool, and its also very funny. I loved the movie and have watched more than once since buying it. Great entertainment value for the dollar.

humorous and well choreographed

Comedy with action and hi-tech gimmicks which are science fiction. If you like Jackie Chan this movie is fun. If you are new to Jackie Chan flicks this may not be the best, but it is good.

Silly and Funny...
Added 8/14/2008
When you are in the mood for a silly movie, this is it! Jackie Chan always manages to make fun out of every situation. Do not take it serious. It is not an action thriller, or a serious movie, It is a fun movie, just go for the ride!

Not "high cinema" but a decent Jackie Chan movie...
Added 8/19/2008
Aside from other reviewers who apparently have it in for this movie, I actually rather enjoyed it. Granted, I agree that the dub was pretty so-so and a bit corny. But, well, it's a Jackie Chan movie! Were we really expecting Citizen Kane?
I thought the action was good, and generally enjoyed it. Sure, the villain was a bit over-the-top, and the plot premise was a bit hard to believe (not entirely unlike the premise of The Golden Child, with Eddie Murphy), but then again, when is that ever NOT the case in a Jackie Chan movie?
In all, I like the movie. Perhaps not as much as The Forbidden Kingdom. The Myth or the Rush Hour series. But, I figure it's another decent Jackie Chan movie. Happy to have it in the collection.

It's one of the worst movies starring Jackie Chan
Added 3/7/2008
It's one of the worst movies starring Jackie Chan. It's not funny. The fighting scenes are not great either.
I regret watching this movie in the theatre.

Oh boy, that's an hour and half I won't get back...
Added 12/27/2007
I usually like Jackie Chan movies, clean, funny, action, good stuff. And this one had Claire Forlani, awesome, and then Lee Evans. I think the story line didn't fit the acts and was just too much for people to take in. Acting was okay, but there was just too much far fetched and unanswered questions to make this believible or interesting. Really, skip this movie, don't watch, don't buy!
