The Medallion movie stills
Reviews provided by RottenTomatoes
John Monaghan, Detroit Free Press: Though it's far from the worst Chan movie ever made, you still might be advised to wait for it on video. Read more
Charles Savage, Miami Herald: The Medallion exposes Jackie Chan as a shrunken master. Read more
Richard Roeper, Ebert & Roeper: It's just too dopey for me to recommend. Read more
Robert K. Elder, Chicago Tribune: More gimmick than actual movie. Read more
Dave Kehr, New York Times: [Sammo Hung] has given Mr. Chan a couple of virtuoso sequences, beautifully framed and edited, showing that at 50 Mr. Chan can still fly through the air with the best of them. Read more
Kevin Thomas, Los Angeles Times: A pleasure for Chan fans. Read more
Bruce Westbrook, Houston Chronicle: Unlike Chan's better action-comedies, such as Rush Hour and Shanghai Noon, this one is undercut by off-key humor. Read more
Michael Booth, Denver Post: Cull your backlogged e-mail, catch up on magazines, suss out the employee payroll, but take something with you to the theater -- it would be a shame to waste 1 1/2 hours of your life actually watching the movie. Read more
Owen Gleiberman, Entertainment Weekly: Makes you long for Tucker -- and for Jackie Chan to fly without digital wings. Read more
Gary Dowell, Dallas Morning News: A slight, lackluster and downright boring mess that suggests the aging action star's glory days may be behind him. Read more
Scott Foundas, L.A. Weekly: Repeatedly falls back on poorly staged, choppily edited (and gunplay-heavy) fight scenes between Chan and a gloomy, power-mad villain. Read more
Gene Seymour, Newsday: As the Chan subgenre goes, Medallion is threadbare stuff, providing just enough kicking and screaming to make it watchable on a Saturday night. Read more
Bob Campbell, Newark Star-Ledger: A B-movie worthy of the term. Read more
Jami Bernard, New York Daily News: Beware of Jackie Chan movies featuring the transformational powers of tuxedoes or medallions. Read more
James Berardinelli, ReelViews: Chan has resorted to the use of two things I thought I'd never see in association with him: CGI and a stunt-man. And those elements are all that's needed to make this movie seem like every other low-budget, run-of -the-mill action film out there. Read more
Roger Ebert, Chicago Sun-Times: A disposable entertainment, redeemed by silliness, exaggeration, and Chan's skill and charm. Read more
Charles Taylor, Salon.com: If writers think that they have to give Jackie Chan superpowers and special effects in order for him to do amazing things, they clearly have no idea who they're writing for. Read more
Mick LaSalle, San Francisco Chronicle: The best of Jackie Chan's American movies. Read more
Colin Covert, Minneapolis Star Tribune: A high-spirited action comedy treat for [Chan's] 12-and-under fans. Read more
Rick Groen, Globe and Mail: Casting Jackie Chan in The Medallion makes about as much sense as sticking Pamela Lee Anderson in a radio play -- it's just such a waste of your star's principal assets. Read more
Geoff Pevere, Toronto Star: Nine year-olds of all ages ought to be delighted. Read more
Dennis Harvey, Variety: This H.K./U.S. co-production at times plays as if it were aimed at children, but more often simply seems to be aiming blind at whatever genre cliche the five credited writers fix upon in any given scene. Read more
Ben Kenigsberg, Village Voice: This outing, Jackie doesn't bring much humor or personality to his role. Read more
