| The Tuxedo |
| I had been hearing mixed reviews before I saw this. Fans thought it okay, while the critics slammed it. Now, my take: I went to the theaters not expecting much. But the movie was better than I feared, a little. I do think that this is his worst recent movie, but there are no bad Jackie Chan movies. One thing I didn't like about this was that there was no drama. Even the Rush Hours had some. What attempt at drama there was, most turned out rediculious. At the end, there was a cute bit between Jackie and JLH, where he was saying that he never knows what to say around pretty girls, and she stares at him like he is blind. That was going somewhere, then it ended. The plot reminded me of his old Lo Wei films--Underdeveloped or making no sense. The fight scene at the end between the bad guy was pretty good, for this movie. Most of the fights were decent, almost the best thing about it. Jackie's dancing scene: Uh. Doing the splits while dancing was the best part of that. I wish they would have kept the song "I feel good" like Jackie was talking about in an interview instead of changing it at the last minute to "Sex Machine." It doesn't even sound like singing! At least I feel it was worth the 12 bucks I spent to see it on the big screen. *6.5/10 |
