Movie Reviews of Shanghai Knights
Movie Review: Not near as good as the first, but still a blast!
Summary: 4 Stars
I really enjoyed this movie even though it was no where near as good as the first. Some of the characters were a little weak along with the story. I was dissapointed with Owen Wilsons Character to start the movie, but once the movie got going I kind of forgot about it. It did have enough adventure to keep me very entertained and enough comedy to make me laugh several times along with some good one liners. I think Owen Wilson & Jackie Chan make a teriffic team and I wish they'd make one more movie together. I would recommend this movie, but you will not like it as much as the first for sure.

Movie Review: Worthy Sequel to an entertaining film
Summary: 4 Stars
"Shanghai Noon" was a surprisingly entertaining film - surprising because of many elements that should have been distracting but somehow worked. "Shanghai Knights" follows the same formula to a large extent, and the result is a film that is at least as funny and entertaining as the original. The chemistry between Owen Wilson and Jackie Chan is still present. Wilson is again funny as the goofy half of the team, and Chan's martial arts displays are as mesmerizing as ever. The writing is clever (setting the sequel in London was quite creative), and the supporting cast is solid, in some cases making the most of some limited screen time. "Shanghai Knights" is at least as entertaining as the original, and I hope the rumors of a third entry in the series (entitled "Shanghai Dawn", by some accounts) are true.Movie Review: Actually Pretty Good!
Summary: 4 Stars
I was pleasantly surprised by "Shanghai Knights"! At first I thought it would be another hum-drum comedy about a two guys and their quest for adventure. However, I was actually left laughing throughout much of it.The story centers around our two heroes, Jackie Chan and Owen Wilson, who have come together again in order to find the murderer of John Wayne's (Chan) father. We follow the guys to England where they begin to track down the killer. Along the way, they meet up with John's sister, who is also out to avenge her father's death. Wilson's character is instantly smitten with her.
I would recommend this film to people are in the mood to watch a really funny movie that will catapult you out of reality and into this surreal, and highly funny, world!
Movie Review: perfect in its own little nifty way
Summary: 4 Stars
Shanghai Knights is an interesting movie. Of course it could have been better....but come on, it could have been worse. I personally thought it was a great movie! It had humor, sword fights, fist fights, and great actors. Now, this movie made me a HUGE fan of Aidan Gillen-he's great as Lord Rathbone. Of course Jackie Chan and Owen Wilson are spectacular too- as are the secondary characters. See this movie. It's a great movie!!(((the DVD extras are amazing: deleted scenes, audio commentary from the director and screen writers, a music video entitled "action overload" featuring all the fight scenes, and a "fight manual" with Jackie Chan and the director(David Dobkin)...all in all...the DVD is a great buy)))
Movie Review: Chon Wang, movie star...
Summary: 4 Stars
This is a great sequel to a great movie. Owen Wilson and Jackie Chan are back as Roy O' Bannon and Chon Wang, and this time they have to go to London and retrieve the Chinese Imperial Seal. The plot, however, is not all that important, as the main entertainment comes from Chan's great stunts (yes, they are fewer and less dangerous than they used to be), Wilson's goofy humor, and comic guest appearances by famous people (my favorite being when Jack the Ripper gets kicked into the river).If you enjoy this kind of goofy buddy-type action movie, you'll love Shanghai Knights. If you want a plot...well, there's a little lacking here. The movie is very funny, and that's really all it needs to be to succeed.
