I have been a big fan of Jet Li/ Jackie Chan since I can remember. All I have to say is that they deserve better. A movie that consists of both these remarkable actors should be incredible and unforgettable, but, in my opinion, this movie can only be remembered probably because it's their first tandem. I don't know what the writers in this movie are thinking. They should have watched the old movies of these two and studied it. They should have written a story that will compliment both their strengths in the screen (not just their martial arts techniques), and the tone of the movie is well-off. Needless to say, if you want to see a feel-good, relatively entertaining then this movie is definitely your cup-of- tea.

The Golden Compass
(2007)
Big movie, Big DISAPPOINTMENT
21 December 2007
Quite honestly, I was expecting something as spectacular as LOTR but... I personally think that THIS movie is way TOO big for the director, and as such I thought that this movie can be taken into a different level if not only or at least by Peter Jackson himself. I haven't read the book nor do I have any idea what the fuss is all about up until I read an article depicting the trilogy. I was, if not, quite intrigue...similar to the day I've finished reading the Dan Brown novels. There are too many insignificant scenes, and the scenes that I thought IS important was left hanging. (Like it's audience) Religious sectors need not be concerned about the movie, because the movie itself will left you scratching your head and a BIG question mark... at the end... "Is that it? What was it about again?" Answer: READ THE BOOK INSTEAD.
