Yeah I hate that movie now lol

Zeiram said on Sunday, June 13, 2010 12:51:57 AM I actually thought this one was more successful than the original on so many different levels. Maybe it's because I like Jackie Chan movies so much, and I love the original. I didn't really feel the length at all. The audience I was with were all made up of children and their parents, and they all ate it up. If anything the movie felt too short. It's like those movies that are very long but you don't want to end, like "Departures". This is Chan's finest hour and a fitting swan song to his great career.
