Before watching it I did have some pre-conceived notions. Jackie Chan isn't really that funny, the previews look cheesy, etc. etc.
Those negative ideas all vanished as if by magic as soon as the movie started. And it was magic! The movie itself was 100% magic!
It is a movie that makes you wonder why has this not been thought of before? The concept of throwing a defenseless white boy into the middle of an ancient Chinese Kung-fu battleground actually worked out really well!
And why would it not? Let's face it Kung-fu movies have left their mark on American culture. Bruce Lee is as much of an icon in America as he is in China. Hence the brilliance of grabbing a boy from Boston and magically transporting him into "Kung-fu Land".
The special effects were awesome!
The kid gets to learn Kung-fu, and there are plenty of cool fighting scenes including them catching plenty of air flying around kicking each other.
I thoroughly recommend it to anyone.
