Ride On

Not the best but also it's good to watch with your family

The view in this movie was so beautiful and awesome

Also it's good if you watch the movie without thinking about things because it's just like you watch a clips of a comedy show

You can also see how much this movie focusing on the relationship between the child and the dad and mom

The relationship between the man and the horse was sweet and beautiful

I was sad because they didn't give a chance for other characters and n the movie and focusing on the horse and the man 😐

But that doesn't mean it's a bad movie it's still fun to watched

I feel bad for the movie reviews because it's bad and the movie wasn't that bad actually.

Washed-up stunt man Jackie Chan has papers served on him to take his horse. He meets with estranged daughter Haocun Liu to find a lawyer, and she puts forth her geeky boy friend.

It's Jackie Chan and a horse, which is all fans like me need to make us happy for a couple of hours. Even if Chan is going to be seventy on his next birthday, and his stunts are achieved by close-up, short takes, and actually having stunt men in the longer shots, I can still enjoy Chan's sense of humor, and the fact that this is a movie where he actually acts, with a story about an old man growing up, and the dedication to taking real risks to make good movies that stunt men have shown for more than a hundred years.

And it's a very handsome horse.

It's a role that's perfect for Chan as he plays an aged stuntman who hit hard times in every sense of the word, which forces him to confront the sacrifices he made in his life in the personification of his daughter who he lost contact with, but he gets a second chance thanks to his love of a horse he's trained to do stunts.

If Jackie Chan was attempting to get that Oscar it was a good attempt. The man has spent 50 years physically giving his all on the big screen as an action star. Now in his old age he's trying to give it all emotionally as an actor and there was no better movie to do it in than Ride On, where he has nothing but empathy with what his character must be going through.

Jackie Chan maybe seasoned but he's got the experience to make his most basic tricks still exciting. The fight scenes are smaller and less dangerous, but that rhythm is still like a dancer doing the two steps with feeling. He's still got it and he's still doing it right!

On, and that horse that acts like his co-star. That horse was doing some really good acting. I was feeling everything it was doing.

Ride On is also one of those great movies about movies. One of the greatest stuntmen in the world gives us a look at the history of stuntmen from where Jackie Chan came from to where China is now with the stuntman now.

Always a little nervous with Jackie Chan movies now that he's pushing 70 but he seems to understand his lane with Ride On and it was amazing to just role with it.

No pun intended - there is one scene in this movie that some people confused with Jackies private life. I have to admit, I had no idea about his private life and his issues with his daughter (or hers with him?) ... I reckon if you are not in the know you can easily be fooled ... especially because it was quite emotional ... and it looked like something that could actually happen in real life for them too.

That said, the movie itself lends itself to comparisons ... Jackie Chan being his own stunt man most of the time, having started as stunt man too. So the story is close to home in that regard for sure. Add to that a horse and you have quite the interesting mix. The stunts/action set pieces are really good ... and if you are fan, no one has to convince you anyway ... story is quite simple, but it doesn't need to be more complicated ... and if the drama of it all does not grip you ... well then the movie is not for you I reckon ... most will at least have some moments where they shed a tear or two ... ride on indeed (the movies title is the biggest pun)

Jackie Chan's new film is a mixture of action and family drama, adding to that is the bond his character shares with his horse. A washed up stuntman, past his glory days is struggling to meet ends and the debt collector wants to take away his horse. As he fights them off, the video of it goes viral. Soon he learns, the previous owner of his horse is going to take him away, he reaches out to his estranged daughter for one last time, to save the horse and mend their relationship.

The film is filled with tear jerking moments which is pretty much what one asks for when an horse is involved. Those scenes mostly work too. Then there is a video montage of Jackie Chan's classic stunts montage which his character reacts to. Needless to say how that particular scene feels. As far as the screenplay goes, it is the usual run on the mill family drama with few action scenes thrown in to please the fans. The melodrama however is stretched and not all the scenes work as intended.

The father - daughter relationship suffered due to how basic it was and somehow it lacked the desired impact. Maybe that's why the bonding with horse had far more impact. The pace is uneven too and resorts to convenient resolution before ending on a predictable note. Jackie Chan still carries the film on his shoulder and this time not with his action skills but by making Ride On his most emotional performance to date.
