Chinese Zodiac (2012)

Going into this movie with high expectations I was not disappointed. I loved this movie! Jackie Chan was great and the rest of the cast was really great as well. I'll admit it wasn't an 'epic' type of film but it was more light and I think that's partially while I enjoyed it so much. The actions scenes were really fun and not drawn out like they are in some movies. There were defiantly comedic moments. The movie went by fast however I didn't feel like it was too rushed in any way. I didn't get confused by anything, which is rare for me I almost always get lost. It did kind of seem like it was leading up to something bigger than there was but overall it wrapped up nicely and I can't really claim myself as disappointed in anyway. Even though this movie has a lot of great fighting scenes it's not violent or gory which was a big big plus for me. All in all it was pretty awesome in my opinion but I'm sure not everyone will agree. I also recommend watching the behind the scenes / NGs in the credits they were pretty funny.

The crazy @ss stunts that Jackie Chen does, he is fearless, & does not stray from danger, and crazy!

**This was SUPPOSED to be Jackie Chen's last Movie, and he was supposed to retire... Hahaha... L-I-A-R!!!***

(I usually write with the 1st letter of all my words in capital letters, I have wrote like that practically my whole life, but I had one person, one person complaint that it was hard to read, as if they were a school teacher grading me, or as if I'm getting paid to write a review. Anyways since this is my next review, I'm going to trying and write this review this way!!!)

1st I want to say I use to Really Like, and respect Jackie Chen ALOT, because of his acting, and all the crazy insane stunts he does. I really ended up liking him, because he sang a song, and in it a verse he sing is this is not my world, this is not your world, this is our world. I don't know if he wrote the song, but it was a really nice song, and I liked it alot!!! Especially because of the meaning.
But about a year ago I found something out about him that I am very Disappointed in him about, it's about his Daughter... Reserch, and look it up, maybe you'll find the Story. Anyways all I have to say is no matter what, she is still his Daughter. I'm shocked An Actor, more like a comedian could be the way he is to his Daughter.

WE SAW THIS MOVIE ABOUT 14 YEARS AGO in 2012, so I might not have the greatest memorie of the movie anymore...

Now about the movie... Ha ha ha all I remember is my mom saying she wanted to go watch a Chinese movie the day we saw it, I wasn't really wanting to watch it, and she couldn't tell me what it was about, she didn't even tell me Jackie was in it. All I remember is she wanted to see it so badly, I forgot I had to work that day.

Anyways when we got to the movie thearter I saw a sign, and I saw Jackie in it, I told my Mom, and she said that's the Movie I want to see, I told her how come you didn't tell me Jackie was in it... She said she forgot, I told her I almost didn't want to come, because I didn't know who was in it or what it was about.

The movie itself was action packed, and the stunts were just Insanely crazy!!! It's about recovering the heads of the 12 Chinese Zodiacs. In the Movie they were Chinas most prise treasures, not sure in real life how true that is, because they looked like they were all made of bronze. Not even copper... I do have to say the stautes head of each one was really cool, and neat. The heads themselves were bigger, twice as big as a human head, maybe even 3 times bigger. Being bronze, I can imagine, they were quit heaving to carry or lug around.

Jackie was some type of undercover spy or like a person for hire I guess, and his job is to recover all 12 of the Chinese Zodiacs heads. It's not easy getting all 12. I remember the very last Chinese Zodiac head being the hardest to get back, I believe it was the Rat Zodiac head, but I could be wrong. I remember thinking to myself oops, and there goes Jackie character, he's going bye bye. The ending, and the last Zodiac Head he had to get was probably the most craziest thing I have ever seen anyone to ever do in a Movie or Drama. Let me just start by say this if this wasn't a Movie, but was real life, there's no way in h*ll Jackie would have servived or lived. NO WAY!!! NO HOW!!! All I can say is even though the ending stunts was awesome, I was terrified, and really scared for Jackie!!! And Seriously all I remember is the beginning, and the ending... You'll have to watch to find out what happens at the end.

All I can say is the stunts that Jackie Does are Insanely crazy... So about I mentioned the ending, I know going backwards. The very beginning was crazy too, and it just starts into this scene, there is no slow start!!! You see someone laying down on something that kind of looks like a bomountain, at a high rate of speed trying to keep up with a van q, mind you there way up in the mountains on a zip zapping road. While laying down in this bob slieghd thing this person is able to monouver it left, and right or around curve. Not only that... Changing in to one wheel skates while still going down the mountian, and catching up to the van, holding on to it.

Sorry, I really don't remember anything else... It's actually really funny I only remember the beginning, and the ending. That how good the stunts were in the beginning, and the end.
Oh, and by the way the end credits song is sung by Jackie Himself... He thanked all him fans for all there support though out the years at the end, it was a pretty heart gelt message to everyone, and sound like he was going to retire, but I guess not.

The question of the day, would I watch this again??? H*LL YEAH!!! Just for the stunts, and action packed Movie.
