Agentes Vanguard

Jackie Chan has made many action movies - some were great, classics from their time - this is not one of those, but it's not horrible either.

If you've ever watch any of Jackie Chan's really old movies and enjoyed those well enough, then this one is no different.

Yes, there's some bad acting and questionable CGI, and of course it's going to toe the party line as it's a Chinese movie.

But if you can get past that and you have nothing else to do, it's an OK movie.

I went to this movie expecting great action & I got more than great, fantastic action pieces. The casts are charismatic & likable but that's all to it. I feel like this movie is a sequel to a movie that doesn't exist. The world set-up is intriguing but the execution is generic. The characters are actually interesting but their time of interaction were consumed by the action. Wished we got some backstory behind these characters motivation but sadly the duration is short.

Jackie Chan was great & he doesn't overshadowed the rest of the characters which I'm glad. The plot & the villain motivation were so generic & stupid hence they stop me from loving this movie. I don't get how everyone saying the CG is terrible, imo its really good. The action pieces are definitely the highlight of the movie.

If you expect to see a movie in the style of those in which Jackie Chan is casual, and also a good fighter and acrobat, and the movie is engaging and funny, you are wrong. The positive characters are exaggeratedly devoted to the employing company, Vanguard, being such an exemplary discipline and obsessed with fulfilling their mission at all costs, like soldiers in the Chinese army. They are, at the same time, like a family whose guiding parent is Jackie Chan, thus becoming unbelievable and downright annoying. Many of the fight and action scenes curl up the absurd. The scenes that were supposed to have an emotional charge are so misinterpreted that they have become hilarious. And with the technique presented, it was exaggerated, being more than phantasmagoric. I didn't expect Jackie Chan to agree to star in such a poor quality film, although I'm convinced it wasn't a low-budget one, but he's not the only one doing it. I couldn't give the movie more than 3 stars.

From the first time I saw the trailer I know it would be a disappointment. Computer effect is too much and so unrealistic. The drifting Ferraris, the lion chase, limousine , explosion, water rapids even the fight scene. What a waste of big name such as Jacky Chan and director Stanley Tong.

Why Jackie Chan did what he did IDK. There can be many reasons, why such actor take part in this project. But my eyes... they hurts while watching this movie. Totally not worth the time was spent.
