The People's Review of Shanghai Noon

This movie is definitely worth seeing because it is hillarious,
interesting and very entertaining. It is definitely worth the money. The
chemistry between Jackie Chan and Owen Wilson is great. The martial arts
is also as superb.

I actually liked this movie. It had everything I needed: action, comedy
and a (very) little bit of romance. As always Jackie Chan stole the show
with moves that were so good and so impossible that only he could have
pulled them off. Another nice touch was this wife that he didn't want and
the way that she saved them each time just as they were about to fall into
trouble. In fact, the only reason it didn't get a score of 100 was because
they (his real wife) ended up with Owen Wilson and not with him.

I think this movie is not a very good movie. What I do not like most
about the movie is how the Chinese emperor times is mixed with the
American cowboy times. The Chinese emperor times was way long before
the American cowboy times. That part just doesn't make any sense.
The movie isn't so interesting neither. And this movie doesn't
contain much martial arts action. I don't think this movie is worth
seeing.

This movie was hilarious, enjoyable, and entertaining. It is a great
summer comedy/action flick (Jackie Chan's specialty) for the whole family
and will most likely do well at the box office. This movie was more
enjoyable than Jackie Chan's last movie Rush Hour (1998). Jackie Chan and
Owen Wilson had great chemistry, which helped create a very funny western.
Owen Wilson deserves a lot of credit in his lines and his delivery of them
to make his character both admirable and hilarious.

I love this movie. Finaly you get to see something that has Jackie Chan in
it and he can speak english. Jackie Chan is my role model and i am
defenetly going to see this movie again and again. I expesially liked the
part where he was drunk and he fell off of his horse. This movie i saw
with my friend, but he fell asleep. I am the only one who likes Jackie
Chan in my group. Owen Wilson did a good role also because he was the
funniest at being invincible.

Overall this was a decent flick. The only reason for me to go was
Jackie Chan. I am a big fan of Hong Kong movies and the casting of
Roger Yuen , Yu Rong Guang and a few other Hong Kong actors was a definate
bonus. The story was good and Owen Wilson was enjoyable, very funny.
However I felt that the movie was not really focused. Perharps a
different director could have made a more cohesive movie. Jackie
Chan and Owen Wilson worked well together, however I feel that Jackie Chan
and Chris Tucker made a better team. I am not a big fan of Rush
Hour, however I feel that thier teaming worked better. Overall this was a
very enjoyable and funny movie, however I am extremely biased. There
was no way I was not going to like this movie. The main attraction of
Shanghai Noon is the martial arts and to my surprise there is more then
enough. American audiences will finally get to see what Jackie Chan
can do. This movie contains more martial arts action then Rush Hour,
Lethel Weopon 4 and Romeo Must Die combined! Jackie jumps, rolls,
kicks, punchs, flips, spins and even get to use various weapons. I
have seen most of Jackie Chan's movies and I have basicaaly seen him do it
all. Incredibly Jackie Chan does some things in this movie that surprised
me! I'm not sure how he average movie goer will respond to all of
the martial arts, some may say that it is to much. I know that I
have to see this movie at least two more times.

The
Wild West meets the Far East in a battle for honor, royalty, and a trunk
full of gold when acrobatic Imperial Guard Chon Wang (Jackie Chan) comes
to America to rescue a beautiful kidnapped Chinese princess (Lucy Liu).
With the help of a partner he doesn't trust (Owen Wilson), a wife he
doesn't want, a horse he cannot ride and martial arts moves no one can
believe, Chan finds himself facing the meanest gunslingers in the West.
