The script is diabolical, the acting from the rest of the cast is very poor, and Jackie himself seems to be on autopilot. There are a few fun fights towards the climax, but none in the first hour, and the stunts are either wirework assisted or CGI. Everyone loved Jackie in the old days for his energetic fight scenes and incredible stunts, and both are in short supply here. It's even a comedown from ROB-B-HOOD, which only came out a decade ago. Politics aside, Chinese Zodiac is an incredibly goofy film that lacks both the spirit and heart of Jackie's older movies. He wrote the script for this thing (as well as fulfilling about 14 other roles) and unsurprisingly the film throughout is full of anti-Western sentiment, particularly from a young and irritating Chinese girl who seems to be included merely to spew out continuous bile about how imperialism robbed China of much of its heritage. In recent years, Jackie has received plenty of criticism for being a mouthpiece for the communist Chinese government. Having just endured this ridiculous piece of international entertainment, I can only say that I wish they hadn't bothered.

That really was a nice touch to the movie. I was really surprised when I saw Shu Qi and Daniel Wu make a short cameo appearance at the end of the movie. Jackie Chan does it again and even gives Indiana Jones a run for his money this time. There is nothing much to say about this movie actually, as it is fairly what you'd expect from a Jackie Chan movie, and any fans of him will not be disappointed while watching this movie. And he proves that despite being up in age, then he still is the undisputed master of stunts and this particular style of movies.

And yes, it delivers on all these accounts. That being said, I am not saying that his previous work has been less than this movie, it is just that this movie takes Jackie Chan's breathtaking stunts and combines it with an adventure much in the likes of "Indiana Jones", and it actually works out for a nice combination, and a nice change of scenery for Jackie Chan.Īs with all Jackie Chan movies, there is a hefty amount of action, martial arts, jaw-dropping stunts and comedy in this movie.
