Robert Koehler Variety 09/21/2005
Embodies the high-stakes risks inherent in switching between multiple genres, particularly considering the story's central point is nearly lost in the process. Go to Full Review

It's pretty, and some of the stunts are fun, but in this age of greenscreen and wire removal, let alone the repetition of certain key Chan "tricks", and you're left with a pretty mediocre flick. Go to Full Review

ehinomen O @RT35498886 Aug 29 Awesome movie. So interesting in 2026 despite its 21 years age I love general yi(jackie chan) See more Jesus B @RT71254475 Aug 8 No es su mejor película. Es una película interesante aunque deja mucho que desear. A pesar de ello, es una película de Jackie Chan y vale la pena verla por su humor y sus acrobacias que nunca fallan en entretener al público. Recomenda aunque no es imperdible. See more Leia J @RT81531887 06/06/2025 I just rewatched it after more than ten years and I must say it did not live up to my expectations. I remember it as really good but rewatching it is confusing. As a cynical adult I just don't buy she fell in love with general jackie so the emotional core falls apart fast. the different clear cut sections of the movie don't mesh well and the flow is a nightmare. The villian is constantly saying how good jackie is and I have no idea why, and also his motivation is paper thin. anyways this movie deserves the 3.5 because it was an integral part of my childhood, my dad used to show it to us when we visited him. good times. See more Max W @MaxthorWoo 07/07/2024 A legendary song, two iconic stars—regardless of how mediocre The Myth itself may be, this film symbolizes a mythical era in cinema. See more sarah a @Padlock 08/07/2021 A bit fake and funny, but I very much enjoyed nonetheless. It's a film that flits between the ancient past and modern day and it's done well. There is lots of flying in this, typically Chinese style. Great Jackie Chan stunts. See more Justin W @Loonsan 07/04/2021 It's a great adventure, historical & archeological journey, just take it open mind as entertainment rather than scientific facts. You will enjoy it...
