The Myth (2005)
Reviewed by: Sydneyguy on 2005-12-19
Summary: Long movie, obvious special effects, a large cast
The first thing i have to say is that there is more blood in this movie than most other Jackie Chan movies. How often does Jackie make 2 hour movies?

i applauded JAckie Chan for including India in this movie, it was the best part of the movie by far. Mallika Sherawat is stunning and the action is classic Jackie at his best.

The flashbacks, unless they were fighting, was slow and boring.I know they had to show the relationship between Jackie and the Princess, but couldnt they make it a little more believeable?A 50 year old Jackie with a young Princess, Jackie it's not very beleiveable especially since it happens so often with your newer movies.

Special effects is a little overdone but also obvious that it is all digital effects.

I was suprised by the minor roles cast like PAtrick Tam and Yu Rong-Guang which was a good inclusion.Tony Leung doesnt seem to do much in this movie and cruises in his role.

OVerall, a little too long, some vintage Jackie Chan but it doesnt save this movie from being average, especially with the obvious special effects used

6/10
