Surprisingly incoherent and boring

A brilliant film that helped define a genre

At first rather annoying in its heavy emphasis on reenactments, this movie ultimately proves fascinating, simply because the complicated, highly dramatic tale it tells still almost defies belief.

This is a gorgeous movie made by a gorgeous spirit.

Its hard chances that Chinese and Indian Food can go along side. Like food this movie is also kind of mixture of actors from India and China which never blended to each other.They try to link some history in the movie with useless links and unwanted drama. It was better i watched it on TV then going to Cinema else I would had left with in 1 HOURS. Better use your time to watch other good movie rather than this. And I dont know why people are giving 8 star-9 stars for this. This is FLOP !!

First, I must say that I have been a big fan of JC for many many years, from his early films to the current. For his sake I give this 2 stars. Otherwise this film is really a low point for him. Its great to see him still involved with cinema while we understand that he is getting up there as his best trademark stunts and martial arts years are behind him. However...whew..this one really blows chunks. From other reviews I've read there seems to have been a reason fro him to engage in a Chinese-Indian collaborative effort, but the result was lame and laughable at best. Could this mess truly have costed $65 mil?? Lets begin: The story arc of having to piece together historic clues to search for long lost artifacts that proceeds to become a treasure hunt running around to various locations that leads to another "final" treasure is soooo cliche, Indian Jones formulaic and just poorly done. Especially with "actors" that obviously have no chemistry between them or just seem so out of place within the whole scope of the film. It starts with a low-qual CG cartoon and ends in cartoon-ish style with the "villain" seemingly filled with a spiritual revival joining the the cast in one of those horrendous and awkward Bollywood synchronized gang dances as they all bow down and worship a statue in true pagan style. Wedged in between all of the noodnickery is an exotic car chase (with the only brief laugh of a CG lion stuck in the back seat of JC's vehicle), and some of JC's kung fu antics sprinkled about to seemingly remind us of his legendary prowess. The whole movie has lacks originality as well as even the minutest amount of quality acting. It's as if a chef with no culinary knowledge just tosses a bunch of disparate ingredients into a large pot and then serves it up hoping that he actually made something edible. Another solid entry into the Netflix menu of unpalatable, torrid-tasting indigestible sea-chum that has no redeeming value or reason to be remembered. Compliments to the chef.

Always been a big fan of Jackie Chan's movies. Grew up watching almost all his movies and re-watched some over and over again. Unfortunately watching this felt like mental torture and I have to agree with most others who gave bad reviews. Jackie's performance was great but the movie was just not good. The good: Jackie Chan's acting is great as always. Considering his age, knock on wood he's amazing! Good plot with potential and great locations. The bad: other than Jackie, the rest of the main characters were horrible actors. The so called "Dr." didn't fit the role at all. It was annoying to keep hearing "oh wow", "sweeet", etc.. with a thick Indian accent over and over again as if she just walked into a shopping mall. After reading the plot on Netflix, I was expecting something on par with "The librarian" for an instance. But the acting was a complete turn off. If you are a Jackie Chan fan, better off watching his other movies because this isn't doing him any justice.

Jackie Chan has been on a roll of late, churning out film after film in a short space of time. This one's part of an unconnected trilogy that includes RAILROAD TIGERS and SKIPTRACE. Of the three, SKIPTRACE is the only one I can say that I truly enjoyed; the rest have been middling or, in the case of KUNG FU YOGA, pretty bad. Jackie plays his reliable self here and there's an extended cameo from old buddy Eric Tsang, but those are the only good things about it.The plot heavily copies INDIANA JONES (a character is even called Jones) and involves the hunt for some ancient treasure in India. It's a bit like THE MYTH, but not as good. The only bit I liked was the photorealistic CGI historical back story at the opening of the movie. The rest is a mish mash of really bad attempted comedy scenes involving the young cast members, who are all completely dreadful actors delivering stilted lines throughout. I thought the Chinese actors were bad, but they're nothing compared to the woodenness of the Indian actors. The action is CGI dominated and Jackie's fights are always sped up, which is disappointing, and the predominance of CGI animals is more annoying than anything else.
