      Boring Movie

      This movie shouldn't use soundtrack from "The Myth (2005)" which is real legend movie.... I fell asleep watching this 2024 legend movie. Jackie Chan is my Childhood favourite action actor but the other actors in this movie are not playing their roles properly. Jackie Chan's1900's and early 2000 movies are way more better. I feel sorry Jackie Chan getting older. If he's still young, he'd probably choose better new actors who could perform as nearly as Jackie did. Some action and face reaction are not alive and realistic. I hope Jackie Chan can find characters who could act the scene like it's really happening and give performance from heart and soul.

      A poorly researched, disgraceful, and pathetic attempt of a film that disrespects and distorts Mongolian history."

      This was the most boring Jackie Chan movie I've ever seen. The script and acting were terrible - no research, no respect, and a completely distorted portrayal of history. It wasn't just a bad movie; it was an outright insult. A waste of time and money. It felt like a pathetic attempt made solely to disgrace the name of Mongolia. The depiction of the Xiongnu warriors in this film - exaggerated to elevate the filmmakers while degrading actual history - was absolutely revolting. Even a child with a basic understanding of history would find it appalling. Let me repeat: the movie was incredibly boring. The AI effects were clumsy, the character interactions were awkward, and the storytelling lacked any meaningful development. This wasn't a film - it was a complete insult and a distortion of history. I'm deeply disappointed that Jackie Chan took part in such a disgraceful project. It's not just disappointing - it's downright heartbreaking. My trust is broken 1000%.

      The last 25 Minutes Are a Real Treat!

      But good luck getting to it. Prior to the final 25 minutes, you get to watch a mostly awful film. Little of the first 96 minutes of the film take place in the present, maybe 12 minutes of it does. The modern day bits within the first 61 minutes are passable with good moments but not that interesting. The scenes in the past are mostly crap with some decent bits of choreography. Don't even get me started on how terrible the deaged Jackie looks that they use for the scenes in the past.

      Bizarrely , the final 25 minutes of the film are excellent. Jackie gets a great finale fight that is extremely rewatchable and rewarding to a fan like myself. This great fight easily is better than any action scene in The Myth and better than most of Jackie's fight scenes in his films from 2005 to the present day. Also, Jackie's Archaeological team members are actually entertaining in this part of the movie. Don't lLet this fool you. Jackie splendidly gets the bulk majority of the finale fight to himself with only minor help from the group of young people. This in stark contrast to Kung Fu Yoga and Vanguard, where his teammates constantly get in the way of Jackie's action and engage in their own uninspired melees.

      So, yeah ,the four stars which I give this film, three of which are for the final 25 minutes. I would love to get the film on Bluray just for the stuff at the end and one can't deny the beautiful, well shot locations throughout the film.

      Beautiful landscapes

      Beautiful shots and cinematography on amazing nature locations. The actors especially the female protagonist is awesomely beautiful. I warched this movie on the new CMGO Celestial movie app at high resolution on a 4K Smart TV. You don't need to buy very expensive Blu Ray disc to watch this movie with today's early 2025 technologies according to some other commentators here. Streaming apps quality is at par with Blue Ray these days. So, the experience is exceptionally captivating. The intro soundtrack of the predecessor, The Myth, Endless Love, brought back fond memories. The storyline is mediocre. I gave more stars for the beautiful landscapes.

      BORING, I WAS SLEEPING DURING THE MOVIE.

      I was Grew up in Jackie chan era, A lot of movie from Jackie chan I saw it.

      But his one is the worst storyline, the worst movie of Jackie chan for all time.

      The storyline was boring, the past and the present didnt connect to much.

      Less action, to much unnecessary talk, watching this movie just like a group of your friend doing a Theaterical class..

      I saw a lot of people sleeping in cinema watching this movie, and they left the cinema silently.. Its mean the movie was confusing for viewers.. Worst movie of Jackie chan for all time.. Really really upset watching this movie.. Its not Jackie..
