Gong fu yu jia (2017) Reviews

• Jackie Chan goes Bollywood

  rbr-412992017-10-13

  Honestly, I don't understand the bad reviews. Chan is older, but he still has the moves. The film producers didn't have American millennials in mind when they developed the script. Their target audience was China and India and I am sure the people there loved it. The film, even with its flaws of melding Chinese, Indian and English dialog, is still fun. The car chase in Dubai was incredible and Chan discovering a lion in his car was hilarious. And, in this age of crude and prurient films coming out of Hollywood, Kung Fu Yoga is a good popcorn film for the family.

  A fun, picturesque film that explores different cultures. It's like Jackie Chan meets Indiana Jones, in China, Iceland, India, and Dubai! Some reviewers are slamming JC for making this film, but hats off to him for going outside his cultural expectations and comfort zone. I have to give credit to the amazing cinematography and location sets, I'm guessing this must be one of JC's bigger budget films. All in all this movie was just plain fun. The car chase scenes with all those expensive cars in Dubai was off the hook, almost Fast & Furious like, but with more expensive sports cars. It's a shame for all the hateful reviews... JC still has the moves and is still funny and entertaining as always! Oh, and 'Little Jackie' was also a blast, I hope his stomach has settled lol.

• No...Please Jackie WHAT ARE YOU DOING!?

  I can't believe it, Jackie Chan is a LEGEND, he knows how to make action, he knows how to make a good story, but this?! THE NUMBER ONE PROBLEM IS THE CGI, look, I know Jackie is trying to go new school with the CGI because he is getting older but honestly this is NOT the way to do it, this was some of the WORST CGI I have ever seen especially considering that Jackie Chan is pretty much considered an "A List" actor. Here is what gets me though, Jackie Chan knows how to make a good story, want proof? Well he directed "Police Story" and "Project A" movies like that way back in the 80's and even more recent "Who Am I" in 1998... After that I feel like he's been trying to depend on CGI just too much, I don't really know what to say, it's like the movies he's recently made feel too rushed? Skiptrace, Railroad Tigers, and Kung Fu Yoga ALL FELT LIKE RUSHED HALF ASSED MOVIES... I don't know what Jackie Chan is thinking... Before around 2010 and below it felt like his movies were perfect, no rush but now since after that it's almost like he's just pumping out movies just for the money and little to no care is gone into them... Jackie you are from the golden age of cinema, DO NOT ADAPT the CGI, I say just go back to how you used to make movies in the 80's and 90's EVEN THOUGH you can't do the stunts you used to be able to do just use doubles when necessary... YOU CAN STILL DO YOUR FIGHT CHOREOGRAPHY, there is nothing stopping you from doing that, people just want to see you doing your stuff and you have a lot to offer just in hand to hand choreography anyway that does not require CGI or any doubles! But what the hell do I know? We are living in a CGI world now unfortunately... P.S the only reason I rate this 2 out of 10 is because there were quite a few good fight choreography moments

• Good to all family.

  I always have been a Jackie Chan's fan and in this movie I felt like when I was a kid watching the Jackies' old movies. If you want to have a relaxing moment and give some laughs, go to watch with the family, in special that person who liked Jackies' classic movies. I watched in a movie theater in China, so I enjoyed even more with the reaction of the Chinese audience that laughed a lot hahaha. But If you want a something serious and realistic, go elsewhere. There a some special effects that are not so special and it seems that they made it on porpoise to reinforce the idea that is just fun and is not trying to be an remarkable movie but just one modern version of the old Jackie(that is in a good shape, despite the age)
