Sangeet Kayastha Nepa 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 !!
Helio This is a delightful (perhaps unintentional) parody of Hollywood action films (not just Indiana Doom and the Temple of Jones). We can see how absurd it is to have "heroes" from a different culture present themselves in a foreign nation. The Indian bad guys are exceptionally bad performers with their boss Randall character being creepy as well as nefarious. No wonder this was a box office failure in India and a blockbuster success in China.The CGI was quite a good except at the beginning with the mammoth elephants - I took that as acceptable given Professor Jack was telling a story (background to the plot)I watched the dance scene thrice. It reminded me of the promotional video for "Romancing the Stone".Cheeky Fun.
ICMooVees 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.
Jithin K Mohan Trying to make a cross-culture film with the Indian and Chinese cast is appreciable but other than the actors there's not much Indian involvement and that can be seen. The ending musical number akin to a Bollywood dance in Chinese looks weird for both Indian and Chinese audience, they could've hired some people from India if the wanted a Bollywood dance look like one instead of a goofy imitation. Also, I don't understand why Indian actresses are trying to act in a Chinese way. Jackie Chan's love for Indiana Jones is seen in a lot of films which is also continued here. With a lot of exotic locations across Asia and a lot of scenes involving animals from Lions and Hyenas to snakes, this is a non-stop action comedy. Much of the film can be enjoyable due to its lack of seriousness yet the silliness is too much.
