2.0 out of 5 stars Forgettable, July 12 2004

Jackie Chan has really cranked out a lot of movies and I have found some of them quite entertaining with action packed fight scenes, good stories, great stunts, and Chan's self deprecating sense of humor. This is not one of them.

There is not much to the plot - Chan is a Hong Kong cop facing off against a super criminal "Snakehead". Snakehead is after a medallion that is possessed by a kid. The medallion gives people special powers. Snakehead kidnaps the kid and Chan is in the hunt to save the kid and keep the medallion out of Snakehead's hands.

Unfortunately, the plot is awful and makes little sense. The fight scenes are not very good. The movie essentially breaks down into a not very interesting series of vignettes that I could never decide whether they were supposed to be funny, scary, thrilling - they were just plan dumb.

Chan would be better served to make fewer, higher quality movies than to churn out forgettable fare like The Medallion.

3.0 out of 5 stars Not one of jackies best., July 11 2004

Maybe it is because I love jackie's earlier movies which he surpassed himself in, but I was very disappointed with this film. Okay, so it's funny in parts but having said this that's about it. I realise that jackie is trying different things in his new films, but for me I preferred the original hong kong movies. I really never thought I would ever give a JC movie 3 stars, but I have to be honest and do so. Sorry jackie. But I am still an avid fan of yours.

1.0 out of 5 stars Worst Chan Movie Ever, July 6 2004

I haven't seen every Jackie Chan movie, but I've seen many of them and this is the worst. I've never walked out of a film before, not even considered it, but opening night I was there to support Jackie, and half-way in I nearly got up and left. Bad, really, really bad.
