This is a complete mess, making up its story logic as it goes along...

Die-hard Jackie Chan fans may be disappointed.

| Original Score: 2/5 | Dec 28, 2010

| Original Score: 1/5 | Dec 30, 2006

It's a lame slapstick actioner in which Jackie Chan lets CGI effects take the heat instead of his arthritic joints.

| Original Score: 1/5 | Nov 5, 2003

A special-effects bonanza, and a woefully underwhelming one at that.

| Original Score: 1/5 | Oct 1, 2003

Makes you long for Tucker -- and for Jackie Chan to fly without digital wings.

| Original Score: D+ | Aug 27, 2003

This outing, Jackie doesn't bring much humor or personality to his role.

Full Review | Aug 26, 2003

One of the Peking Opera-trained superstar's most mediocre films, rivaling last year's God-awful The Tuxedo for sheer messy filmmaking and brazen acts of tedium.

| Original Score: 0/5 | Aug 24, 2003

If writers think that they have to give Jackie Chan superpowers and special effects in order for him to do amazing things, they clearly have no idea who they're writing for.

| Aug 23, 2003

Chan's normally homegrown stuntwork is replaced by a lot of wire fighting and special effects.

So cheesy and cheap that it almost attains high camp.

Full Review | Aug 22, 2003

This H.K./U.S. co-production at times plays as if it were aimed at children, but more often simply seems to be aiming blind at whatever genre cliche the five credited writers fix upon in any given scene.

A good-natured and amusing spectacle.

| Original Score: 2.5/4 | Aug 22, 2003

Nine year-olds of all ages ought to be delighted.

| Original Score: 2/5 | Aug 22, 2003

As special effects reveal how super Eddie Yang is, they also reveal how ordinary Jackie Chan has become.

Full Review | Original Score: 2.5/4 | Aug 22, 2003

The best of Jackie Chan's American movies.

| Original Score: 3/4 | Aug 22, 2003

As cartoonish as live action gets.

Full Review | Original Score: 2.5/4 | Aug 22, 2003

A pretty bottom- of-the-barrel affair.

Full Review | Original Score: 1.5/4 | Aug 22, 2003

Beware of Jackie Chan movies featuring the transformational powers of tuxedoes or medallions.

Full Review | Original Score: 1/4 | Aug 22, 2003

Unlike Chan's better action-comedies, such as Rush Hour and Shanghai Noon, this one is undercut by off-key humor.
