I have finally been able to watch it- Jackie Chan's final action movie. Too bad it was spoken in a lot of languages and the copy i got had small subtitles- but i really tried my best to watch all of it until the last minute(bloopers and credits). it was a nice movie- good plot and good morals too- about national treasures which should be returned to the right nation. I just remembered how some of the Philippine's treasures are on display in foreign countries. The action scenes were so awesome, especially the sky diving action scene.

Chinese Zodiac is not a bad movie to watch, the action is good but after seeing the movie I felt if it could have been a little shorter it could have been better.
Jackie Chan's action is still good as his previous movies, even though he is old still good with his action....

Jackie Chan’s movies are nice to watch. After all, they are action movies. Last week, I watched a Jackie Chan movie. Action movies make me feel as if I am literally on an adventure. That thought makes me feel like a hero.
Most of Jackie Chan’c movies are excellent. I would have liked to watch some action movie in the theater. Watching a movie in the theater,especially an action movie, is a totally different type of experience.

I watched this movie. Frankly, I feel a little disappointed to it. It is very similar to Jackie Chan's early movies. I like the part before Jackie Chan escaping with wearing the rollers. That's something new for me. But after that the story is not as great as I expected.

I have also watch that movie too. The movie is a rich brew of adventure, kungfu and comedy. It's very Jackie Chan's style. Some episodes are very interesting. The plot is quite simple but the theme is great though. National treasures should be returned to their homeland, but in real world, it is too hard to come true.
By the way, I feel really sorry that it's the last movie of Jackie Chan, I hope he can direct more good movie in future.

Yup, it was really a good movie. A lot of lessons to learn. Love to watch jackie chan's movie, when the movie ended I feel so sad because as jackie chan said that was going to be his last action movie. Well, I coukd see why, he is getting old but still he is still capable of doing those amazing action moves all by himself without having a double. Hope he will reconsider making more. Hehe Great fan of Jackie chan.

hehehee,i think Jackie Chan doesn't seek for perfection,but to laugh.i was watching the action movie about the return of some of China's stolen national treasures during Chinese New Year.
when i watched the film,i felt vigorous.i heared that Jackie Chan went to seven or eight countries for this film,although i didn't see what several countries.
friends,you know?

Yeah, a movie that is perfect but not enjoyable is not a good movie either.. i was just glad it was s funny and also full of action. Yes, they shot this movie in a lot of countries.. they really went all out in this since it's the last action movie of JC.

It was a great movie indeed. I bought an original dvd copy, and it was amazing. The scenes, the jokes, the history, the love story..nicely done by jackie chan and his staffs. Also the actors and actresses are great, I had also seen "Stairway to Heaven" actor, very handsome indeed. I think the girls are crying out when they sees him on the screen. I think 3 languages were spoken on this movie merely English, French and Chinese. I think its a great combination of many cultures and history.

I also watched this movie with a very small subtitles.
I agree with you, I remember about our country's treasures displayed in foreign museum. I think these treasures must remain in the said country for a while since it will not be taken good care here in our country. Just like the one I watched in our national museum, there are lots of treasures that were just kept in the storage rooms because of lack of fund in rehabilitating those.

My daughter told me this is the last action movie of jackie Chan and he has a student who is the Korean actor from the show "Stairway to Heaven". I love that show and followed it through every episodes. Because of that I watched this movie .
I seldom watch action movies. I always get so nervous when seeing the bad goes after the good . However, I will only feel relieved when it comes to the ending where the good always overcome the bad...

Yeah, i was quite shocked when i saw Kwon Sang Woo in it, i guess they just dubbed his lines.. but then i saw a movie of his where he idolized Jackie Chan, maybe they are good friends. JAckie Chan's action movies are not so scary though, they are fun to watch.
