Robin-B-Hood (2006)

The Worst Film Ever

Expected more

While it doesn't offer any answers, it both thrills and makes you think.

Exactly the movie you think it is, but not the movie you want it to be.

just saw the rating of 6.7 and thought it was a little bit high, but i would rate this a solid 6. this is one of Jackies better movies in a while and he tries to go back to his roots, like his movies from the 80's and early 90's.i enjoyed his old movies cause they were silly and the action was fantastic and crazy and also full of cameos by famous actors and actresses from hong kong. this movie has all that except for the fisticuffs which are a little lacking in this movie and weak in my opinion compared to his prime.the movie was a little bit sappy in my opinion also, but the baby was really really cute. the story involves Jackie who plays a lowlife gambler who is shunned by his family and his two partners. Louis Koo plays partner #1, who is a handsome womanizer who is actually married and partner #2 is none other then Michael Hui, the eldest of the Hui brothers. it has been a while since i saw him in a movie, and he plays the leader of the 3 man ring.they somehow get roped into kidnapping a baby and the shenanigans and hi-jinx start from there. along the way there is mobsters, triad debt collectors and of course the police, including yuen baio who plays a police detective who has known Jackie's character for a long time.for some reason the fighting doesn't appeal to me anymore, there were enough fight scenes but they are nothing compared to the old days. there were plenty of stunts in the movie and one incredible jaw-dropping stunt by Jackie about a 1/3 of the way thru the movie. you have to see how he gets away from the debt collectors while on top of a 10 story building and he really did the stunt himself. INCREDIBLE!another reason to watch his movies back in the day was for the cameos and this one doesn't disappoint. check out Daniel Wu and Nicky tse as 2 homosexual and inept armor truck guards, it was hilarious. besides that one there were at least 5 other cameos by famous hong kong personalities.all in all, a very high class production, you could tell a lot of money went into the making of this movie. not one of his greats but a very good watch, makes you long for the good old days though.

I am a huge fan of Jackie Chan. I have and loved his autobiography, along with a good deal of his American movies. I love the cartoon. I started to watch it just cause it had him in it. I will watch anything of his and it's really, really hard to get me to not like it... Well they must have worked exceedingly hard. The movie is dubbed in English horribly, and is so incredibly, unbearably tedious I stopped watching it and tried to lay there and fall asleep instead. At a half hour I was thinking oh come on it has to be at least half over! but no I rummaged around till I found the case... IT'S OVER 2 HOURS LONG! I didn't have high expectations for it... I was just thinking something to watch when I was bored and a little like the pacifier in terms of comedies with a baby... but with baby-napping... So I got Rush Hour 3 which I loved and this. Don't waste your time watching it... There is no funny at all at least when I gave up at 45 minutes into it... Everyone's life sucks, main characters are: Jerk Of The Year, Jackie as Loser Gambler, Blind Dude with insane depressed wife... No part of it is happy... I really want to go return it just cause I hate giving 20 bucks for that crappy of a movie. Like it sucked so bad I still can't believe it. I don't know why Jackie would have done this rush hour 3 came out on DVD at like the same time so it's not like for the work or for the money... And you know Rush Hour 3 had to pay well and it's not like if he wanted to do more movies he couldn't. It's just incomprehensible why when he needs no padding in his career he would subject anyone to this drivel. In short, MOVIE SUCKS DON'T BUY! I definitely won't blindly trust Jackie to give me a good movie anymore that's for sure... If you have an option between watching paint dry/staring at an already painted wall or watching this the wall wins by a landslide.

People who watch Jackie Chan for the martial arts maybe will be disappointed! This is a comedy with some martial arts in it! Nothing spectacular although there are some nice stunts involving the baby! Actually this movie is proof that JC is trying to become more of an serious actor! In my opinion he successfully achieves a combination of drama and comedy! In the end they even managed to surprise you! If JC stays on this route I will support him all the way! This is the third movie he made in HK after his adventures in Hollywood! And again it is obvious that the movies he made and will make in Hong Kong are far superior to his Hollywood movies (not including the excellent Rumble in the Bronx,Battle Creek Brawl and the protector)!

I have to say that this movie was lots of fun ^^ I laughed so much at it :) It definitely is one of Jackie Chan's movies , and though some people say that Jackie's movies have decreased a lot recently (regarding the content of the movie ...plot bla bla) in my opinion it hasn't because I think a movie it's not all about the complexity of the action and the plot's originality and the way in which it makes you uncertain of what's going to happen next. In my opinion a good movie must be able to capture the viewer's interest and make him concentrate on the action so much that he doesn't start to wander "oh what's going to happen next?" or to say "ah yes and now's another happy ending" . I mean when I watched the movie I was so busy laughing and paying attention to what's happening that I didn't care about the plot like "yea baby is kidnapped by bad men who eventually turn into good men and bla bla save the day" So what I'm trying to say is that the movie is worth viewing as long as you don't really care about the story and only care about laughing and paying attention to all the funny fighting scenes that Jackie always makes . I love those the most in his movies ^^
