Rating:  - I felt like a fool for 80 days after watching this film.This is one of the worst movie of Jackie Chan. It's boring. There are no funny scenes. The scenes look fake. The acting is not engaging. Anrnold could not save the film. I tried very hard to stay in the theatre until the end. After 30 minutes, I felt very sleepy. It's one of the worst movies of Jackie Chan. What a waste of money and time! Rating:  - Thanks.Very fast delivery. Product was as described, very good condition. Original wrapping. Thank you. Rating:  - Note to Steve Coogan --Don't run down your performance!!This is a pretty good film; fun, family fare. Steve Coogan gives a rich, quirky, poignant and funny performance. The film actually did respectable business, grossing $72 million world-wide. Trouble was, the film cost $130 million to make and market so it lost money. But Jackie Chan, Ms. De France and Steve Coogan are a fine trio. Sadly, I read an interview on the Internet in which Coogan runs down his performance saying he was "uncool." I must remind Mr. Coogan of the following: 1. An artist is rarely a good judge of his own art. Michelangelo was always disappointed in his statues yet they are now viewed as priceless masterpieces. 2. Why run yourself down, Mr. Coogan? Most folks have little or no opinion on most subjects. Certainly, most folks don't spend much time thinking about Steve Coogan. Hence, if you tell them that you are an astonishing genius and that your performance in Around the World in Eighty Days was brilliant, about 22% of the population will take you at your word. The other 78% will either have no opinion or will not feel too strongly about the subject. They are likely to passively go along with the other 22%. Hence, you will soon develop a following. This is particularly true in Hollywood where everyone is insecure and will follow the crowd. 3. Why the feelings of inferiority? This, I think, is an English thing. "Oh, woe! I am English and all the money is in America! I am so UNWORTHY!" or "Oh, woe! I am working-class English and I did not go to the right schools! I am so UNWORTHY!" or "Oh, woe! I am English Catholic and England is a Protestant country! I am so UNWORTHY! Mea culpa!" Americans never think this way. WE hype everything. You NEVER hear Donald Trump say anything except that his hotels, TV show, books are the GREATEST!! He understands salesmanship. 4. It is a mistake to think that if you run yourself down you are creating a "preemptive strike" that will forestall others from attacking you. On the contrary, by putting down your performance you are merely giving ammunition to your enemies who will now say, "You see! Even Coogan himself admits he's no good." Never hand the enemy a loaded gun. 5. Many terrific films flopped on original release, e.g. Citizen Kane, The Wizard of Oz. Today these are considered classics. You must, Mr. Coogan, tell the world that your version of Around the World in Eighty Days is a terrific family film and that families will re-discover it some day soon. Since so few films are family oriented you can really hype the wholesome message by saying, "Around the World in Eighty Days is one of the best family films of the 21st century!" Nobody wants to attack "family" films. Hence, keep saying that it is a delightful family picture; it should not be judged in the same category as an "R" rated film because it was meant for the whole family. There is NO DOWNSIDE in being associated with a wholesome product. 6. You also owe it to your fellow actors, Jackie Chan, Ms. De France, to extol the film. By running down your performance you are indirectly insulting them. You are, after all, an ensemble, a trio. Since these other actors have some clout in the picture business, it is in your interest to say nice things about the film. I hope you will heed these remarks and TAKE MY ADVICE! Finally, you have nothing to apologize for: your performance was whimsical, funny, poignant and delightful. Rating: - Sheer Rubbish....I thought this would be a wonderful movie based on the Jules Verne book of the same name. The movie was just down right cheesy. I was disappointed that Disney could make such an awful film!! The action was WAY over the top and so was the acting as well.... I suppose if you were a child this movie may be interesting and attention getting to say the least, but not to adults. The movie was hokey. Arnold Schwarzenegger has a small role in this film and the part was completely tacky!! Oh my gawd, the wig they had Schwarzenegger wearing looked totally hideous and the make-up made him look like he a really bad fake tan on as he looked orange and streaky! This movie was just bad all around with too many disappointing things to even comment on. Rating:  - This is not a remake, it is a loosely based onThis version of Jules Verne's original story "Around the World in 80 Days" takes so many liberties with the story that the only thing recognizable is a few names. It is shame that we leave our youth with the impression that Disney and Jules Verne have any thing in common. That being said and ignoring that this is a contrived jumble of clichés and no social redeeming value, every once in a while there is a cute zinger or one liner. One such inference was when Lord Salisbury was told that they were going to name a meat entrée after him. A major negative for Jules and a plus for Disney is the addition of Jackie Chan. This is probably one of Jackie's best performances as he bloodlessly gets to hop around Chaplin style. A real plus is the filming location in the former East Germany and Thailand makes for exceptionally interesting visuals. Bottom line is this is a good time filler and can be amusing but do not get this presentation mixed up with the Jules Verne story of the same name. |
