    Something old, something new

    Credit to Jackie, he does try to do something different with his Hong Kong films. It would be easy for him to churn out countless sequels to already established series, but he does try to vary his output. Well, that is in as much as the constraints of his fans expectations and his established film persona will allow, anyway. The Myth, as a film, suffers paradoxically because of these two things; trying to satisfy by offering something new, while fulfilling audience expectation based on Jackie's previous output. The historical side of the film works best, providing Chan with a role (Army General bound by honour, compromised by love) that is unfamiliar and more interesting largely because of that. The action is more gritty and brutal in these sequences, with lots more blood on show than in typical Jackie fare. The present day character is classic Jackie, though the comedic set pieces and brief fight scenes don't have quite the inventiveness or sparkle of yesteryear. You can imagine the glue factory scene in particular being more involving and exciting if it had been choreographed twenty, or even ten, years ago. Stanley Tong's handling of the material is, due to the nature of his script, very uneven. The presentation of the modern day settings is fine, if a little uninspiring; especially when you consider some of the film's spectacular locations. However, the historical battles look and feel dull and lack any kind of epic quality. This may have been down to budget constraints, but watching the film you feel that if more clever camera-work had been employed, this effect could have been conveyed. Ultimately, it's a pity Jackie wasn't brave enough to do a straight, serious historical action/drama, because under The Myth's familiarity there's a different Jackie Chan film trying to get out.

    Entertaining Jackie Chan flick

    Ever since Jackie Chan's rendezvous with Hollywood in Cannonball Run (1981) (which incidentally was advertised in Hong Kong as Jackie "co-starring with Bert Reynolds"), he has been true to his unique brand of action – part comedy, part choreography, part acrobat – but never true martial arts such as what Jet Li delivers. (A remote analogy of the Sphinx – part woman, part beast, part god - but nothing of a man in it). And this went on for what seem like an eternity, both in local and Hollywood productions. Then, approaching mid-life, Chan started to try new things – e.g. pure romance in "Bo lei jun" (or "Glass bottle") (1999) and pathos in "New Police story" (2004).

    In "The Myth", he takes things even further, by giving us both an old clowning around Jackie Chan and a new all serious Jackie Chan, in two parallel stories, present and ancient. Good intentions and efforts notwithstanding, Chan's portrayal of a general of woeful countenance in the ancient Qin dynasty is just not convincing, maybe because of things as a simple as his stature or that his face is too familiar. As a result, the love story on which obvious emphasis has been placed never quite gets off the ground. What we are left with then is pretty much the old Jackie Chan flick. Still, with the multi billion dollar (HK$) budget, an international cast and some pretty clever ideas (as the "rat glue factory scene" everybody mentioned), this movie IS entertaining. As well, although the "historical" portion is not exactly a resounding success, it does add another dimension to the movie.

    One final note – at half-century point, Jackie Chan finally yields a bit on his resistance to wire work and CGI. While we are all proud of his steadfast determination to do all the dangerous stunts himself, the laws of nature dictate that there are things that you just can't go on doing forever.

    Fantasy and breathtaking fights with artial arts legend Jackie Chan

    Hong Kong action/historical/epic movie with full of over-the-top struggles , excitement , thrills , ingenious stunts , lots of brawls and brief touches of humor. This fun movie is plenty of intrigue , unstopped action , and overwhelming stunt-work with breathtaking ending images with the main characters flying here and there . Sympathetic archeologist Jack (Jackie Chan) keeps having reoccurring dreams of a past life, where he is the great general Meng Yi, who is sworn to protect a princess named Ok-Soo (Kim Hee-seon) . When a fellow scientist enlists his help locating the mausoleum of China's first emperor , Jack decides to go investigate everything with his friend William (Tony Ka Fai Leung) , assisted by the spirit of a noble princess .

    This exciting movie is crammed of action-packed , fantasy ,overwhelming stunt-work and lots of fights .Amusing and colorful Jackie Chan entry in whic he takes on Chinese emperor and his army . It is a fantastic film with supernatural events in which the past collides surprisingly with the present . Jackie Chan is top-notch as a world-renowned archaeologist who has started discovering amazing visions and having mysterious dreams of a past life as a warrior in ancient China , as he becomes one army man fighting a group of heinous criminals and a lot of warriors and , of course , as always he makes his own stunts . Awesome , incredible stunts and brief comic touches , as usual ; the picture is better constructed than others directed by Stanley Tong . The lighting-paced storyline slows down at times , including some confusing and absurd lines in the script , but frantic action sequences make up for it . Spotlights movie include spectacular battle in which Jackie himself confronts an entire army and eliminates them all forming a mountain of bodies , among others . This is a phenomenal action/epic movie distinguished by nicely cinematography of the impressive sequences , shot on location in India, Xi'an, China and adding agreeable sense of humor.

    The picture achieved big success in China and all around the world but in USA failed , similar to his American debut ,¨Battle creek brawl¨ that had a disastrous Box-office. Jackie Chan is a hard-working actor and director throughout his long and varied career . He went on playing ¨Cannoball¨ , ¨The protector¨ and "Rumble in the Bronx", until getting all American successes with ¨Shangai Knights¨ , ¨The tuxedo¨ , ¨Around the world in 80 days¨ and ¨Rush hour¨ trilogy , and the recent ¨Karate kid¨. Many of them Chan usually pays overt homage to two of his greatest influences as Charles Chaplin and Harold Lloyd . Of course , his biggest hits were ¨The Police story¨ series that won the Golden Horse Award , a Chinese version of the Oscar , the first was titled ¨Police story (1985)¨ directed by the same Chan , it was a perfect action film for enthusiastic of the genre ; the following was ¨Police story 2 (1988)¨ also pretty violent and with abundant humor touches . It's followed by ¨Supercop¨ or ¨Police story 3¨ and finally , ¨Police story IV : Crime story¨ . This picture ¨San wa¨or ¨The Myth¨ (2005) was lavishly produced by Jackie Chan himself , being compellingly directed by Stanley Tong and helped by Jackie Chan . Tong directed various Chan vehicles , such as : ¨Supercop I¨ , ¨Supercop II¨, ¨Rumble in the Bronx¨, ¨Vanguard¨ and ¨Kung Fu Yoga¨ . Rating : Acceptable and passable , the picture has its sensational moments here and there , but also with abundant humor touches mostly provided by its agile star , the super Jackie Chan , stunningly accompanied by Tony Ka Fai Leung , Kim Hee-seon and Mallika Sherawat . It's a perfect action film for enthusiasts of the genre and especially for Jackie fans .

    Entertaining JC in new role

    Saw the movie today. Nice authenticity with the arms, armor and tactics of the Qin Dynasty (comtemprary of Republican Rome)and attention to detail. And a very beautiful Korean princess who looked every inch the role. Overall entertaining movie with signature JC fight scenes in the modern parts of the story. This new Indiana Jones type role for JC is certainly refreshing. The cop role is getting stale. The ending is also new for a JC movie, and perhaps indicates a certain coming of age - no more everyone happy, bad guys in jail, good guys get rewarded template anymore. The use of multiple languages by native speakers corresponding to authentic locations is refreshing (Mandarin, Korean, Cantonese, English, Hindi)- no more stilted "other" languages.

    Never satisfied

    What do you expect when you see a movie like this? Something huge with thousands of extras and perfect computer effects? Check. Archaeology action like Indiana Jones? Check. Tragical love story with beautiful lady? Check. Speedy stunts, fights and fun like in the good old Jackie Chan flicks? Check. Judging by the sum of its parts, this ought to be the greatest movie of the 21st century. In reality, it's not quite so. 2 tremendously entertaining hours, yes, but not a perfect movie.

    What are the reasons? I'd like to name three. First, I always see Jackie Chan with a helmet, desperately trying to keep a straight face, when I am supposed to see the general. He just isn't that type of guy. The dreams or historical flashbacks are therefore less convincing than the scenes from the present day. Second, the whole anti-gravity stone thing has much too much Spielberg in it. The myth could have remained a myth, in other words: the audience doesn't always want a scientific explanation why things happen, especially if it's as unlikely as this one. Third, I think what neither worked well in this movie is the villain. From the moment he appears and does the usual "I'll steal the big Blah to rule the world" villain routine, the rest becomes predictable. If the screenplay had dared to move along a different path, it would have evoked less of the "seen it before" feeling. I enjoyed it, but regrettably it's not without the little flaws mentioned.
