| A wonderfully fun film. (by halo_kitty) |
| This film is an extremely fun take on Jules Verne's novel. The storyline and characters are radically different than the originals, but there is a purpose to every detail in this movie. Phileas Fogg is a representation of Jules Verne himself, someone who sees the future. Steve Coogan performed marvelously in displaying the vulnerability of a man who wagers everything. He makes the character lovable and amusing. Jackie Chan brings to the table his classic fight choreography and humor, as well as branching into types of comedy he had not worked with before. Cécile De France is the most <more> |
| "Everyone around the world, join the celebration!" (by bannonanthony) |
| This movie provides a brilliant new spin on Jules Verne's novel by having Phileas Fogg be an eccentric inventor and Passpertout be a Chinese thief who joins his service to escape the police. The actual journey around the world in the film is very enjoyable as they hook up with young artist Monique and attempt to circumnavigate the globe in eighty days.Jackie Chan is as brilliant as ever at the high-flying action and the physical comedy. Steve Coogan thankfully plays it straight for the film as Fogg, whilst Jim Broadbent makes a suitably hateful villain of the slimy Lord Kelvin. <more> |
| I have seen all the Around the World movies and have enjoyed them all! (by bandjalder) |
| We Americans export our movies to all foreign countries. The profits we rake in are proof that they accept us. Are we so small minded and selfish that we can't enjoy a fun movie even if it doesn't feature one of our leading American stars? If an international cast and crew were ever called for, then Around the World in 80 Days 2004 is it! I have seen all the Around the World movies including Around the World in 80 Days 2004 and I have enjoyed them all! This movie is an example of how Americans, Chinese, English, French, Austrian, German, and Thai craftsmen can all work together and <more> |
| Around the world in 120 minutes (by real_king_mark) |
| Jackie Chans latest movie has just hit our DVD stores shelves well in Australia at least and I thought it was about time I submitted my review. The story is very loosely based on Jules Verne's novel of the same name, it involves an eccentric inventor Phileas Fogg trying to race around the world and end up back in England within 80 days while the evil Lord Kelvin tries to make sure he does not win and become the head of the royal academy of science. Before you watch this movie there are a few things you should know, its made by Disney, so its going to be a movie that is aimed at all ages <more> |
| Is this a Coogan or Chan movie? (by ofjeworstlust) |
| Is this a Coogan or Chan movie? That's the only puzzling thing about this movie. For the rest simply an action packed adventure, with a little too much romance on the side. 15 years ago this movie would have been a great success in the line of Goonies or a Disney flick.Now a little overacting at times the English cop who follows the main characters for example is compensated with great cameos, I won't give them away, but keep watching!Coogan is just like in his tv series, the well-known expressions and faces are shown. Just his character, can anyone be that naive at times???Chan is <more> |
| An excellent Jackie Chan comedy... and more. (by tw-42) |
| At first I did compare this to Mike Todd's version. But then I realized it was a Jackie Chan Movie and I'm a big fan of his with all the stuff that entails. It is a wonderful parody of the older movie with many funny things, including a ton of kung fu movie action. There are a bunch of orientals chasing "passpartou" around the world at least to China , and a marvelous performance by a talented actress: Cécile De France. I'd never seen her before, but she is cool.They go to some different places, but, like Mike Todd's opus, every now and then there is a surprise <more> |
| I didn't expect the Ten Tigers of Kwantung! (by sarastro7) |
| Around the World in 80 Days 2004 , starring Jackie Chan, currently has an IMDb user rating of 5.7. And they say it's one of the biggest flops in history, having failed to recoup more than a fraction of its estimated $110 million budget.I say, give it time! Overseas box office plus rentals and DVD sales - this movie will turn a profit in the end. As I understand it, movie companies now make most of their money off the rental market, so I am rather mystified to hear that a movie flopped just because it didn't earn back its cost at the U.S. box office in the first couple of months of <more> |
| It's a Fun Film Folks, Not a Serious Re-make of a Classic (by lawprof) |
| There are classic films and fun films and even, very rarely, fun films that become classics. That's certainly true of Mike Todd's 1956 "Around the World in 80 Days" which captured much of the fantastical verve of Jules Verne's original story. That movie also introduced, basically for the first time, the idea of an onslaught of cameo appearances by famous screen stars, not always readily identifiable.So now as we start to bake at the beginning of a long, languid summer, new director Frank Coraci gives us the irrepressible but getting a bit long-in-the-tooth master <more> |
| An uneven package (by TheHande) |
| "Around the World in 80 Days" is not luckily Jackie's worst film, that is still "Tuxedo".What makes 80 Days such a taunting movie is its unevenness. The film switches between light-hearted to serious and even between various styles of comedy, from Jackie's classic slapstick, to witty, to vain, to gross-out and even Python-style comedy.As far as fight-scenes go, they are well choreographed and Jackie can luckily still kick ass. There were some parts of the film that didn't make a whole lot of sense and because of the massiveness of the plot it feels rather long. <more> |
