Summary: I'd forgotten just how good this movie was!
Comment: For some reason, I had an image of a really cheesy, cornball movie that was so-so. But I may have been thinking of Wild Wild West and/or Blazing Saddles.
I love Jackie Chan movies. This one doesn't disappoint! It's full of great action scenes, several doses of humor, and lots of Jackie goodness!
I liked it considerably more than The Medallion, which I watched a couple nights ago (at least decent fare in its own right). Now I really want to see Shanghai Knights and see if it's as good as the original.
I'd certainly rate this a "buy" if you're into Jackie, and maybe even if you're not. Good art direction, costuming, etc. Well choreographed fights. Etc. Good stuff!
Customer Rating: Summary: great concept and execution
Comment: Jackie says he'd had the idea for this movie for years. I think it wasn't until he came to the US that he could do it justice. Yeah, Jackie's biggest fans usually prefer his Hong Kong films, but you gotta admit that this is a movie that would've been hard to make in Asia.
Jackie's sidekick in Shanghai Noon is a great comedian. He has a look and a voice quality that is very unique. Perfect casting for the part. The jail house scene between the two is priceless.
I also really like the music right from the beginning. The music sets the mood and really supports the action.
The settings are also quite interesting. The Forbidden City scenes, though brief are really cool (I'd like to know where they really filmed that), and the outdoor mountain scenes are inspiring.
Two thumbs up!
