It was exactly what I expected and that's something I didn't really want to see.

Around the World in 80 Days is never as delightful and silly as it needs to be.

The gags are physical but rarely funny.

Has that cheesy, chintzy mid-Florida feel that we all know and love, despite its $110 million budget.

This second bigscreen version of Jules Verne's 1873 novel takes plenty of liberties with the material and never generates much genuine excitement, but provides an agreeable ride without overloading it with contemporary filmmaking mannerisms.

Mildly amusing Jackie Chan adventure.

I was amazed at how little actually happens for a movie with so much action.

It's ironic that this film is less about traveling and more about beating the crap out of people all over the world.

The heart and soul of it, the story and the casting, are a complete mess.

Se eu fosse descendente de Verne processaria os produtores desta adapta��o pavorosa por mancharem o nome da fam�lia ao inclu�-lo nos cr�ditos iniciais.

...Fogg essentially winds up playing second-banana to Passepartout - a disastrous choice that simply does not work.

It sounds hokey, but it's great, fast-paced family fun

...a fairly typical vehicle for its star, Jackie Chan...with Chan his usual disarming self and everybody else pretty much disappearing into the woodwork.

[My predicted rating 2.5]I would never have chosen to watch this film and yet it did have a fair bit of entertainment value. There were some good effects throughout the film and of course some good Martial Arts choreography from Jackie Chan, in fact even the usually irritating Steve Coogan did a good job - a good adventure!
