For many years Jackie Chan had been a hero to me. Then came Rumble in the Bronx and he was a hero to everyone. Rumble in the Bronx was a great film I thought. Not Jackies best but great at what it was. It turned out that was to be his last really great film. A few movies later this came out. Jackies first all English speaking film. As long as you don't count The Protector and Big Brawl. I have to say I wasn't looking forward too seeing this anyway. The story didn't sound too impressive from the start. And it isn't. Its very convoluted. A TV chef who seems to have super hero capabilities? The acting is really bad (look out for some famous Astralian soap stars though). But its the action that really fails. Anytime some good action is about to take place the image turns into this blurry slow motion technique that makes it hard to see whats going on. Okay some great moments along the way. And a brilliant cameo from Sammo Hung. But is it really worth it?

Normally I don't watch martial arts movies, but that doesn't mean that I can't make an exception. This movie was announced as one of the best and funniest movies Jackie Chan had ever made. I truly hope for him that this isn't true, because this movie really was a big disappointment. I never felt like laughing while watching this movie. The only time that I had a smile on my face was with the bloopers at the end of the movie. So I don't think the title 'Comedy' is well chosen. This isn't more than an action / martial arts movie with a lot of fight scenes (too many if you ask me), an awful story, an obvious plot, bad acting and even worse dialogs. Even the style of filming wasn't to my taste... I don't like the semi-flashy, pop video-way of filming which was used from time to time to make this movie seem so much more spectacular than it really is. So far for the bad critics, what I do like about this movie is the fact that Jackie Chan did his stunts himself. All my respect for that. There aren't many actors who dare to do so, but he doesn't seem to mind a little bit of pain. The only other good thing that I can say about it is about the actresses... good choice. They don't contribute to the story, but at least they look great. I guess this is a movie that will be loved by children and all the fans of Bruce Lee and other martial arts masters. Personally I didn't like it all that much. 4/10 because of his own stunts and the pretty girls.

In MR NICE GUY as it`s called in Britain Jackie Chan plays a TV chef who finds himself caught up in intrigue involving gangsters and a missing video cassette . I say " intrigue " but that`s maybe misleading because we are talking Jackie Chan here and as you would expect we are treated ( Another misleading word ) to Jackie`s unique martial arts mixed in with comedy in a thread bare plot , a bit like Jean Claude Van Damme on laughing gas . The acting is fairly awful especially from the bad guys whose delivery led me to think English isn`t their native tongue and acting wasn`t their chosen profession . Sorry guys but I can only recommend MR NICE GUY to Chan fans

One of Jackie Chan's best, The move has action from the beginning to end, Sammo Hung is a really good directer. it's non stop action

You have to have kind of a high threshold for silliness (and bad acting) to enjoy this one. The plot's almost nonexistent, but it's got some good (little) fight scenes and stunts....A little disappointing, though, that Jackie doesn't get to fight lead villain Richard Norton, quite a good fighter (see "City Hunter.") The ending's pretty funny though. Probably the most "Turn off your brain, and enjoy" Jackie film since "Rumble in the Bronx," it delivers fun, plain and simple.
