Average Rating: 
Rating: - Jackie Chan beats up the Old West!!!!
This is a great movie if your not looking for an in depth story line and character development. It's basically another Jackie Chan action movie but it has a twist, this time Jackie's in the old west. The action is wonderful (vintage Jackie Chan) and the comedy is also vintage Jackie so if your a Jackie Chan fan then you should find this movie entertaining. Owen Wilson also does a great job as the outlaw wanna be in this movie. Wilson has a different comedical air to him which I happen to enjoy but which isn't for everyone. If you liked him in Meet the Parents then you'll like him in this as well, basically the same type of comedy with a different roll. Lucy Liu's character really doesn't add anything to this movie. She plays the princess kidnapped from China and brought to America which spawns Jackie coming to save her. Although her part is crucial within the story it really is secondary and really doesn't add anything or allow Liu to shine. Basically if your a Jackie Chan fan or an Owen Wilson fan you won't be disappointed with this film. It adds originality to Jackie's fight scenes and gives you his classic comedy combined with Wilson's unique style of comedy. It's deffinately worth the money!
Rating: - Best Jackie Chan US Production Yet
Shanghai Noon is by far the best Jackie Chan movie made in the US. It is much more enjoyable than the over-rated Rush Hour. For me a large part of that is because I find Owen Wilson to be much more entertaining and amiable than the grating human cartoon, Chris Tucker. But even more than Tucker, the fight scenes are much closer to his Hong Kong films. Close but still not quite there. The action has all of Jackie's trademark acrobatics and fast editing. It seems to be slowed down a bit from Rumble In The Bronx, Supercop or any of his other HK films though.There is a great deal of chemistry between Jackie and Owen and a lot of that has to do with Jackie's Mr Nice Guy persona. You can't help but feel he's everybody's friend. The relationship of the two characters reminded me a lot of the Robert DeNiro/Charles Grodin relationship in Midnight Run. Owen Wilson is the footloose rouge trying to get the stiff uptight Chan to relax and take life as it comes. This is a fun buddy film that I would highly recommend.
Rating:  - Some Funny Moments
I'm not a big martial arts fan. I watched "Shanghai Noon" despite the presence of Jackie Chan, hoping to get some good laughs out of it. And I did. There are some funny situations and some funny lines here. Unfortunately, there aren't enough laughs to make it more than ordinary as a comedy. Chan and Owen Wilson work well as a team, and they inject something extra into what is otherwise a rather disjointed story, keeping the whole enterprise from sinking below average. But that still leaves it firmly in the realm of film mrdiocrity. Finally, there are the martial arts sequences. For Jackie Chan's many fans, these may be enough to raise this flick to a level above the ordinary. For me, they were mildly entertaining, if only because that was where all the movie's action took place, but they were too contrived, and they were were repeated too often. For me, this remains an average movie. If you're not a Jackie Chan devotee, I suggest you see this one before you buy it.
