Title: Jackie Chan's THE MYTH
Post by: indianasmith on November 10, 2007, 10:26:34 PM
WOW!!!!!!!!!!!!!  I just finished watching this one with my wife and was majorly impressed!  I had never heard of it before, just saw it on the shelf as a Chan flick we'd never watched, and was amazed at its quality.  I mean, Jackie as a Chinese general in the army of Emperor Chi'in in 224 BC?  Wielding a sword and actually KILLING people?  Massive army battles in full ancient gear that AREN'T rendered in CGI?  A visit to the weightless eternal paradise where the Emperor's immortal concubine awaits the return of her beloved general?  Jackie's sidekick kissing a mummy?  You've got to see this one to believe it!

This movie ROCKED!!!!!!!!!


Anyone else seen it?

I've seen some of it.  Been meaning to watch the rest.  Some inspired sequences and good action (especially for a Chan vehicle this late, it came out in 2005).  Storyline seems pretty flaky and Chan isn't believable as the old general, but still good.
