Vanguard

Let's start with the positives. The fight scenes are pretty awesome, always clear with some cool moves.

The negatives. Where to start. Any action other than the fight scenes ranges from mediocre to bad. The CGI is awful yet used repeatedly, even on things that you don't expect them to CG. The story is nothing. The characters are nothing.

Most hilarious is that for some reason, even 40 some years later, jackie chan movies are terribly dubbed. And i don't mean dubbing with a different language. I mean voices speaking the same language as the character, yet never sounding like they're coming from them. I counted four different times when i saw how a character looks and then laughed out loud when they spoke.

By the end of the movie i cared about nothing. And the non-fight scene action became so monotonous and redundant. I was asking myself "why am i still watching this?" and i almost forgot about the hilariously blatant chinese propaganda (1 viewing, 6/9/2021)

People seem to want too much for a movie these days this is just entertainment take it for what it is it's definitely entertaining

Jackie Chan has made many action movies - some were great, classics from their time - this is not one of those, but it's not horrible either.

If you've ever watch any of Jackie Chan's really old movies and enjoyed those well enough, then this one is no different.

Yes, there's some bad acting and questionable CGI, and of course it's going to toe the party line as it's a Chinese movie.

But if you can get past that and you have nothing else to do, it's an OK movie.

Why Jackie Chan did what he did IDK. There can be many reasons, why such actor take part in this project. But my eyes... they hurts while watching this movie. Totally not worth the time was spent.

I went to this movie expecting great action & I got more than great, fantastic action pieces. The casts are charismatic & likable but that's all to it. I feel like this movie is a sequel to a movie that doesn't exist. The world set-up is intriguing but the execution is generic. The characters are actually interesting but their time of interaction were consumed by the action. Wished we got some backstory behind these characters motivation but sadly the duration is short.

Jackie Chan was great & he doesn't overshadowed the rest of the characters which I'm glad. The plot & the villain motivation were so generic & stupid hence they stop me from loving this movie. I don't get how everyone saying the CG is terrible, imo its really good. The action pieces are definitely the highlight of the movie.
