| San Francisco ChronicleMick LaSalleCoraci has given us a film that is not only amusing, but well-acted, and not only well-acted, but gorgeous. Micha Klein's animated transitions alone, which are used to signal each change in location, are wondrous and lovely to behold. |
| Laramie Movie ScopeRobert RotenThe heart and soul of it, the story and the casting, are a complete mess. |
| Critic DoctorPeter SobczynskiThe end result is about as thrilling as spending those 80 days stuck in Cary, Illinois with a broken axle. |
| Hollywood Report CardRoss AnthonyWholesome for the most part, this rich robust family film (with the flair of yesteryear) clips along fast. It plants a smile on your face that lasts for the duration. |
| Decent Films GuideSteven D. GreydanusHackneyed is one thing; embarrassing is another but if you're enough of a fan to see it for the action and only for the action, it's worth your while. |
| Orlando WeeklySteve SchneiderDevoid of genuine wit, urgency or suspense. |
| Portland OregonianM. E. RussellDumb, enjoyable kids fare; Jackie Chan's fanny-kicking world tour is a textbook example of how a movie can be "fun" without, strictly speaking, being "good." |
| Chicago Sun-TimesRoger EbertNone of this amounts to anything more than goofy fun, but that's what the ads promise, and the movie delivers. |
| EricDSnider.comEric D. SniderSpends about an hour getting past its casting and screenwriting hurdles before finally settling into an even, enjoyable pace. That first hour, though: Man. It's pure death. |
| Hollywood ReporterKirk HoneycuttAny resemblance between Jules Verne's marvelous science fiction novel or Mike Todd's enjoyable 1956 movie is pure happenstance. This is simply a Jackie Chan movie pitched to youngsters who enjoy slapstick fights and goofy caricatures. |
