It should have been called 'Island of Fire featuring Jackie Chan'!

This is a film I was really excited about seeing, I saw a trailer of it on youtube and the trailer looked much better than the actual film turned out to be... I thought wow, this is going to be great! But then I was just so disappointed, I've seen so many Chinese films now, Bruce Lee's films, Jackie Chan's films, Chow Yung Fat's films, I loved them all. They are all action packed spectaculars, with great humour and so much emotion, that you can understand even with the language barrier, you can still understand what the characters are feeling. Even if they are not always good. But this film just fails. I thought I'd never live to see the day when I saw a bad Chinese film! But I guess any culture, any country, can make a bad film. I was greatly let down by this, I was looking forward to it so much, and it was just disappointing. I couldn't think of a time where I couldn't recommend a film, but I think I have finally found something I can't recommend. Two thumbs down! Do yourself a favour, don't watch this film. Sorry Jackie!
