Average Rating: Rating: - Unmatched Humor When I saw the previews for this movie I was extremely skeptical and not interested, but when a friend dragged me to see it, I instantly fell in love. The strategic casting of Owen Wilson and Jackie Chan as a partnership devoted to the unmasking of a rather bland kidnapping (the plot is not the most important element of the film) guarentees a humor unmatched even by the pairing of Chris Tucker and Jackie Chan in Rush Hour and Rush Hour 2. Owen Wilson brings the majority of the humor to the film with his anachronistic jokes and diction while Jackie Chan makes the action of the movie utterly irresistable. Since seeing this movie for the first time I have watched several Jackie Chan films and while his fight scenes are always impressive, I've found those in Shanghai Noon to be the most captivating. I have also become a huge Owen Wilson fan and have yet to be disappointed by any of his movies. After seeing it twice in theaters I bought it for my own diminuitive DVD collection. I've seen this movie probably 20 times and each time I find the jokes and situations so funny that I cannot help laughing out loud or reciting the lines along with the actors. I highly recommend this movie to anyone seeking a huge laugh. I eagerly await another movie featuring Owen Wilson and Jackie Chan as the heroes. Rating: - Cool fights and a few good laughs... While it's no "Rush Hour," "Shanghai Noon" is still a fun two hours filled with sly laughs and kick-you-in-the-face action that never lets up. Owen Wilson, who I like better every time I see him, is an outlaw who comes across Chong Wang (Jackie Chan), who is on a quest to save a Chinese princess (Lucy Liu). The two play off each other well and we have the usual buddy-film banter, but Wilson and Chan have a unique chemistry that disguises the movie's cliche flaws, making the movie tons more enjoyable. The film is well-shot and surprisingly fast-paced. There are frequent laughs and Chan's always-excellent fight scenes. Get it if you love martial arts movies, or if you liked "Rush Hour." Rating: - Undeniably Enjoyable... After watching this one a few nights ago, I was simply shocked as to how much I enjoyed this one. Shanghai Noon is a movie that is just so much fun to watch that it's just a real joy to sit through.I've never been a huge fan of Jackie Chan but I always thought that if he were actually given a good script for once, I may enjoy him in a movie. Unfortunately, what they gave us first was the dismal Rush Hour, just a contrived buddy/cop story with the unfunny Chris Tucker doing his thing. It was because of that film I was reluctant to watch this one. I'm glad I did.Chan plays Chow Wein, an imperial guard from Old China who travels to the Old West to locate the kidnapped Princess Pei Pei (Lucy Liu). Once there, he crosses paths with bumbling bandit Roy (Owen Wilson). As typical with these films, the two do not get along at first, but eventually, through a series of misadventures, the unlikely riding team become a duo and join forces to rescue the kidnapped princess.The majority of Shanghai Noon plays very typically, there's not too many surprises throughout, but that makes things even more impressive because despite the familiarity, this is still a very good movie. Jackie Chan does his fair share of great fight scenes in this movie, some are among the most impressive that he's ever done-the bit with the Indians at the start and the confrontation involving the horseshoe are among the best. His character is likable and partnered up with Owen Wilson, the two make for a great team. Wilson almsot steals the show from Chan in this film, he's got a dry sense of humor and is frequently very funny. Wilson is likely to turn into a big star in the future if this movie is any testament to his abilities.Shanghai Noon is a very good, fun movie, nothing more, but certainly nothing less. Even those non Jackie Chan fans will find lots to enjoy here, this is an all too rare type of movie these days, one that just doesn't take itself all that seriously, but one that's a surefire crowd pleaser.
