Although it has its amusing moments, in eneral the plot does not convince.
Clever, believable, and super fun to watch. It totally has replay value.
This is a small, humorous movie in some ways, but it has a huge heart. What a nice experience.
The storyline feels a little thin and moth-eaten in parts but this sequel is plenty of fun.
This is a delightful (perhaps unintentional) parody of Hollywood action films (not just Indiana Doom and the Temple of Jones). We can see how absurd it is to have "heroes" from a different culture present themselves in a foreign nation. The Indian bad guys are exceptionally bad performers with their boss Randall character being creepy as well as nefarious. No wonder this was a box office failure in India and a blockbuster success in China.The CGI was quite a good except at the beginning with the mammoth elephants - I took that as acceptable given Professor Jack was telling a story (background to the plot)I watched the dance scene thrice. It reminded me of the promotional video for "Romancing the Stone".Cheeky Fun.
Two professors team up to locate a lost treasure and embark on an adventure that takes them from a Tibetan ice cave to Dubai to a mountain temple in India. Gong fu yu jia is the 3rd film of 4th one i think film that Jackie Chan made this year and unfortunately it was as bad as i was expecting and even tho Chan tries his best both in the action part and the acting part the film tries to be so much like an Indiana Jones rip/off and it fails on all levels from acting, to characters to even as a movie on it's own. If you want to see a better Jackie Chan i'd recommend you to see The Foreigner it packed one of his best performances in more than 10 years. (0/10)
Jackie Chan has been on a roll of late, churning out film after film in a short space of time. This one's part of an unconnected trilogy that includes RAILROAD TIGERS and SKIPTRACE. Of the three, SKIPTRACE is the only one I can say that I truly enjoyed; the rest have been middling or, in the case of KUNG FU YOGA, pretty bad. Jackie plays his reliable self here and there's an extended cameo from old buddy Eric Tsang, but those are the only good things about it.The plot heavily copies INDIANA JONES (a character is even called Jones) and involves the hunt for some ancient treasure in India. It's a bit like THE MYTH, but not as good. The only bit I liked was the photorealistic CGI historical back story at the opening of the movie. The rest is a mish mash of really bad attempted comedy scenes involving the young cast members, who are all completely dreadful actors delivering stilted lines throughout. I thought the Chinese actors were bad, but they're nothing compared to the woodenness of the Indian actors. The action is CGI dominated and Jackie's fights are always sped up, which is disappointing, and the predominance of CGI animals is more annoying than anything else.
I love Jackie Chan and cannot believe he is still doing this sort of movie at his age. He is a living legend, an often used term that actually applies where he is concerned.Now for this movie .. what can I say? Well to be positive there are lots of good Jackie moments, mainly his amazing Kung Fu mixed with his excellent comedy timing. The scenery is great and some of the cast were not too bad.I think where this movie missed the mark was that it appeared rushed and disjointed. The story, right out of Indiana Jones, which Jackie alludes to for comedic effect, was OK but the ending was incredibly silly. I would have preferred if the Bollywood dance was an extra rather than the actual ending.Disha Patani,Amyra Dastur and Miya Muqi are all gorgeous and made parts more watchable. Sonu Sood was not convincing at all.The fight scenes and car chases were also overly long and too much reliance on CGI which Jackie really doesn't need.
