Movie Reviews of Mr. Nice Guy
Movie Review: Not up to scratch
Summary: 3 Stars
I expected better things of this movie after seeing the preview. Jackie might have said that it was good to have his old friend Samo Hung direct this movie but it sufferred badly from being a low budget movie. Judging from the scenery this was filmed in Melbourne, Australia using local actors and it shows. It seems to lack the atmosphere of his Hong Kong films and the glitz and polish of his Hollywood adventures. You only have to compare this movie with 'Who Am I' which was made more or less around the same time to see the difference. Maybe it was Samo - I don't know. If you're looking for a first time Jackie, non-Hong Kong movie you can always go with 'Rumble in the Bronx' or maybe 'First Strike' but not this one.Movie Review: Not Jackie's best movie
Summary: 3 Stars
So, why is this tv chef such a tough guy anyway? I enjoyed this movie, but the plot wasn't that interesting, and none of the bad guys seemed to be all that tough, so the fights were just all Jackie. Even with Jackie's hands and legs tied, the big boss presents no challenge to Jackie. Stunts were okay, like Jackie hanging from a doorknob at a construction site. Overall, though, this movie doesn't have anything that would make me say it was anywhere near his best movie.Movie Review: Stunts are fine, but in real fights people get hurt
Summary: 3 Stars
Moving from Hong Kong to Melbourne Jackie Chan continues
his dance routines. Choreography seems to be the method in his movies.
He can probably disable somebody with one punch ( if he wanted to).
But action, comedy and gangsters make people pay to see these.
For me this is a boring kind of film. Jackie Chan is a master of bobbing and weaving, but must have scars to prove you can't always get the stunts right.
He does seem like Mr. Nice Guy.
Movie Review: .
Summary: 3 Stars
I don't mind the cheesiness of Chan's American movies, but it's almost excruciating in this one. Some of the action sequences are quite good, but it is hampered by silly, highly unnecessary slow-motion camerawork and an utterly lackluster climax. On the bright side, we get to watch an attractive redhead run around in skimpy underwear for about 10 minutes halfway into the film, for no discernable reason at all.Movie Review: Not one of Jackie's best, but still a good movie.
Summary: 3 Stars
This isn't one of Jackie's best, but it is is still definitely worth seeing. The main problem is that the American release(as usual) is a tragically butchered version of the original. Scenes have been cut up as well as deleted and some of the action scenes were changed with some really awful looking slow-motion. Still, this movie has some very good action-comedy.
