(1 - 30) of 30 OFCS Rating: 0% Rotten Page   1   4/10 "In Jackie Chan’s latest, age (Chan is nearly fifty) and a "computer generated images can save everything" attitude negates any excitement."   Nitrate Online   Dan Lybarger 2/4 "...the whole thing has a been-there-done-that feeling to it."   Reel Film Reviews   David Nusair 1.5/4 "Chan may still have what it takes to perform difficult stunts, but...he is surrounded by a cesspool of ludicrous plotting, incomprehensible storytelling, and characters about as sturdy as wet cement."   DustinPutman.com   Dustin Putman 2.5/4 "Because the filmmakers often have so little to work with, The Medallion comes across as a mix tape of sparring sounds and various visual styles."   Slant Magazine   Ed Gonzalez C- "A hackneyed, mediocre offering with little to remind fans of why they like Jackie."   EricDSnider.com   Eric D. Snider C- "The decisive factor in these movies is usually: did anybody sit down and think about this?"   Film Blather   Eugene Novikov D "Feels like a mediocre Hong Kong movie lacking even the charm of misspelled subtitles or bad dubbing."   One Guy's Opinion   Frank Swietek 2/4 "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."   ReelViews   James Berardinelli 2/5 "Another Jackie Chan "search for the great whatsit" action film that's as agreeable as it is disposable."   Netflix   James Rocchi 2/10 "Although there were a few climb-up-the-wall-moments, mostly there was this out-of-place high-jumping and lightweight bounding around."   Window to the Movies   Jeffrey Chen 3/10 "'Beyond the fact that the action is second-rate and forced, most of the film's attempts at humor also fall flat.'"   Screen It!   Jim Judy 2/5 "."   3BlackChicks Review   Kamal 'The Diva' Larsuel 1/5 "Jackie Chan has finally jumped the shark - and he needed wires to do it."   Cinerina   Karina Montgomery C "The Medallion is a "Golden Child" ripoff...but it is marginally better than "The Tuxedo" due to less reliance on special effects, a much more charismatic leading lady and an amusing sidekick in Evans (once director Gordon Chan finds his timing)"   Reeling Reviews   Laura Clifford 1.5/4 "The lesson to learn from The Medallion is that a wire- and computer-assisted Jackie Chan is better than no Jackie Chan but still a bad idea nonetheless."   Mark Reviews Movies   Mark Dujsik 2.5/4 "Chan's grace and Evan's comedy highlight the current chapter in the book of Chan"   Movie Habit   Marty Mapes 2/4 "Jackie Chan will be back in a good movie soon, and then we can forget about this misstep once and for all. Oh wait, I’ve forgotten it already."   Aisle Seat   Mike McGranaghan C "Did I miss a meeting or wasn't one of the great things about Jackie Chan that he didn't need any special effects?"   Movie Mom at Yahoo! Movies   Nell Minow "Those haphazard sequences are the best thing in 'The Medallion' because none of the rest of it makes a lick of sense."   Critic Doctor   Peter Sobczynski 1.5/5 "The script is so simplistic that it's almost funny as a spoof."   Shadows on the Wall   Rich Cline C "Better than 'The Tuxedo,' but worse than 'Shanghai Knights.'"   Laramie Movie Scope   Robert Roten C+ "Oh, to bring back the good old Hong Kong days."   Reeling Reviews   Robin Clifford 2/5 "The action bits are few and far between; the non-action bits are omnipresent and interminable. May be a solid flick for 10-year-olds, but even they'll be yawning through the nonsensical narrative."   eFilmCritic.com   Scott Weinberg 1/5 "Chan may be killing time between Rush Hour sequels, but he can do better than this."   Filmcritic.com   Sean O'Connell C- "For the first time in years, the lameness of the surrounding product finally drags Jackie down, instead of him managing to rise above it… I even enjoyed The Tuxedo [more than this], and nobody liked The Tuxedo."   Decent Films Guide   Steven D. Greydanus 0.5/4 "The only moment worth looking at is one where Chan drowns while putting on a brave face. . . for its effectiveness as a pointed commentary on the artist at this point in his career."   Film Freak Central   Walter Chaw 3/10 Read review   Modamag.com   Brian Orndorf 4/10 Read review   www.susangranger.com   Susan Granger Read review   PopMatters   Cynthia Fuchs Read review   Cinema Crazed   Felix Vasquez Jr.  (1 - 30) of 30 OFCS Rating: 0% Rotten Page   1
