Kung Fu Yoga Reviews
Not even Jackie Chan can save this ill-advised mash-up.
| Aug 15, 2019
Kung Fu Yoga is a massive disappointment for fans of Jackie Chan, fans of cinema, Indian fans, Indian people in general and is just a complete embarrassment for all involved.
| Original Score: 1/5 | Nov 3, 2018
Kung-Fu Yoga works because of the numerous scenes of fantastic hand-to-hand combat that are often punctuated with a comedic tone.
| Original Score: 3/5 | Nov 1, 2018
... the film is a mess, split between a bunch of characters and jumping genres at every cut, with a juvenile humor clearly aimed at younger audiences.

If you're going for the Kung Fu, chances are you'll end up in a meditative state instead.
| Original Score: 2/5 | Nov 3, 2017
With a generous runtime of almost 2.5 hours, Kung-fu Yoga does outstay its welcome.
| Original Score: 2.5/5 | Oct 28, 2017
... the mediocre storyline and routine fighting bored me after a while, but the beautiful cinematography saves it all.
| Original Score: 3/5 | Sep 19, 2017
Gleefully helping itself to whatever seems fun at the time, Kung Fu Yoga captures the matinee spirit perfectly.
| Original Score: 3.5/5 | Jul 28, 2017
The pace is snappy, the sets and colors are always eye-popping, and the whole thing has a good, fun spirit.
| Original Score: 3/4 | Feb 10, 2017
If you have grown up watching Jackie Chan movies and loved him more for his comic timing and endearing goofiness or his expert kung fu, Kung Fu Yoga will leave you with a feeling of sadness.
| Original Score: 1.5/5 | Feb 3, 2017
Once in a while I see a film that is hypnotic in its awfulness; which means it's so bad that you can't look away. Kung Fu Yoga is one such film.
| Original Score: 1/5 | Feb 3, 2017
The fast-paced plotting, and typically silly action-comedy sight gags ensure that the 103-minute running time breezes by, but there is little here that hasn't been seen before, or that Chan hasn't done better.

Kung-Fu Yoga scratches fans' itch for no-nonsense, no-pretense Chan fare - in which he isn't second-banana to a Western star, or married to a director who thinks VFX are required to make Chan's stunts more impressive.
| Feb 3, 2017
The slapstick fight scenes and action set-pieces - particularly a car chase in Dubai punctuated by a languid lion's presence - elevate the film somewhat, but Kung Fu Yoga's broadness is not so much engaging as merely ticking the many boxes.
| Original Score: 2.5/5 | Jan 31, 2017
A movie that combines kinetic stunts with exotic locations on a very grand scale.
| Jan 28, 2017
So miscalculated that it briefly made me forget why I love Jackie Chan films.
| Original Score: 1/4 | Jan 27, 2017
[A] harmless romp ...
| Jan 26, 2017
By the time it all culminates in a Chan-led classic Bollywood production number, the cuteness factor may have been pushed to its limit, but good luck trying to stop that goofy smile from spreading across your face.

Tong embraces garish, conspicuous kitsch.
| Original Score: C+ | Jan 26, 2017
The globetrotting adventure yarn extensively, and energetically, riffs on Indiana Jones's signature moments. You'll wish that its storytelling polish matched its enthusiasm.
| Original Score: 2/4 | Jan 25, 2017
