The flick looks like a loose, comedic attempt at creating a fantasy movie for the ages. I unfortunately think it’s going to fail. Too bad. I bet the scenes between Li and Chan are phenomenal, but that white kid is going to ruin it. Not so much because he can’t act (can’t tell that yet. There’s not a lot of scenes in the trailer where we could gauge that) but I think moreso from that fact that they had to “Americanize” it. For shame…

It looks alright John, for what it is. I was expecting subtitles but apparently it will be marketed at a younger audience eh?

I hate the fact that they are using a white kid as the main character but understandable since it’s an American production. I hate that the first time Jet Li and Chan meet on the silver screen it’s for an American film, an American kids film no less.
The kid looks stiff and uninteresting in the trailer and doesn’t seem to show any sort of likability. The should have gotten The Beef in this, at least he’s got charisma.

The Plus side is that they seem to have done a good job with the action and it looks pretty solid.

The movie looks, at the very least, cool to look at. The storyline seems absolutely ridiculous.

From the trailer, this movie looks awful. I hate how Jackie Chan has degenerated into the comic relief Kung Fu guy even when he’s trying to be serious. Is this a serious drama or a comedy? It looks serious until Jackie opens his mouth.

Don’t get me wrong, I loved Jackie in his Police Story days, but it’s hard to take him seriously now.

yeah it could be terrible but Yuen Woo Ping is the fight/action choreographer so we’re almost guaranteed some good fight/action scenes even for a kiddie movie.

This looks like a fun flick. About time Chan is in something that looks decent in the past 10 years.
