This is a highly glossy, effects-filled movie as befits its $100+ million production budget.Unfortunately, as also befits its total box office take of about $24 million, the film, loosely based on the Jules Verne novel, is saddled with a stilted script, many jokes that fall flat, uninteresting cameos (except for the Brothers Wilson - Luke and Owen - who had a certain charm), and unoriginal fight choreography.Those wishing to see Jackie Chan in better form in an American production are advised to see "Shanghai Knights".
