Not the book, but still a good show

Reviewed in the United States on June 5, 2018

Verified Purchase

I'm a huge fan of the book. Never saw the David Niven movie so I can't compare it. But this is definitely not the book. It very thinly mirrors the original story but then makes it's own way in the world. It is a Jackie Chan movie so it is more about sight-comedy and physical gags. Steve Coogan is the absent-minded eccentric gentleman inventor. Although they play up the wacky inventor part. Monique La Roche is the artist/coat check girl. Not sure what her role actually is other than a foil for the other two most of the time. But I'll be honest I love this movie. It is fun to watch and has a good story line even if it goes off on it's own path. Certainly much more relatable for kids. I wouldn't recommend this is you have to do a report on the book as it is isn't really the same. But enjoy it for what it is, a fun movie.

The bonus features reveal what they were trying for.

This soulless loose adaptation of the Verne novel deservedly failed at the box office. It gives me no pleasure to say that, for the filmmakers in the bonus features made clear what they were trying for: a breezy family film with a sense of adventure and lots of fun. But before it's half over (it runs two hours, but seems like four), it's clear the film has no story to tell: the jade Buddha MacGuffin is just an excuse to string one sequence after another, none of which connect except with a countdown of how many of the 80 days have passed (with cheesy computer graphics, including a flyover of water labelled "Pacific Ocean"). I actually liked the actors, and was embarrassed at what they were required to do; Jackie Chan is hapless in one after another slapstick kung fu fight that drags on while the other principals wait for the scene to end. I even liked Arnold Schwarzenegger, Owen and Luke Wilson, and Kathy Bates, but they're only in the film for their one scene. Watching the film became a chore in which I had to settle for small pleasures, such as Baha Men singing the Sherman Brothers song "It's a Small World" during the closing credits. I can't recommend it. For a worthy Victorian period comedy "for children of all ages," try "The Pirates!: Band of Misfits" (2012).

One of the only movies with my dad likes.

My dad hates every gift I ever got him. All he does is watch documentaries on Israel and the animal planet and that's it. One time for his birthday I got him a subscription to animal planet magazine and I thought he would like it but he asked me to cancel the subscription for him. He is impossible to shop for but for some reason he likes this movie. Maybe because he always wanted to be a pilot he liked seeing the world and that might be why he enjoys this movie but it is literally the only film he'll sit down with me and watchthe animal planet and that's it.

This was a Disney *failure*?!!?

Reviewed in the United States on July 21, 2018

Verified Purchase

I loved this! I've been a great fan of Disney movies my entire life and I can't believe this lost money. It has all the requirements. It's not exactly like the book because it *isn't* the book. I don't recall the book having life sized adventure, excitement, spectacular scenery and learning opportunities. I think the comedy is a plus, the romance is kid friendly. In addition, who doesn't cheer for Jackie Chan's martial arts with good guy ninjas? Failure? Please.

Great G-rated movie for teens!

Reviewed in the United States on November 28, 2020

My 15 year old thought he might not like the violence, but I convinced him there was no graphic violence (there isn't) and told him to give it a try. He loved it. 3/4 of the way through he announced "I think I have a new favorite movie!" At 15 he's deep into the Marvel movies, and they are waaay more violent that this one - this is actually an "action/comedy", and anything with Jackie Chan in it will include spectacular stunts.
Looking for a family movie to enjoy during the Holiday season? This is it!

(4.5/5) I watched this a lot growing up. It is a very enjoyable Jackie Chan movie with lots of comedy and martial arts. I know some people dislike that it isn't accurate to the original Around The World In 80 Days movie, but its a comedy it is intended to be funny and enjoyable and it does that. There are some things I would have done differently but nothing major. Overall, I highly recommend it especially if you enjoy Jackie Chan movies.

Don't Waste Your Money On This

Reviewed in the United States on August 4, 2018

We were greatly disappointed in this version of Around The World In 80 Days - -NOT because it was a modern version per se -- but because the scripting was NON-STOP SILLY - -after about 10 minutes of this (it seemed geared to ages 2-3 at the most - -in other words, how much SILLINESS and mere NON REALISM can one take in a movie (?) Unless of course, you have no sense of reality, and will laugh at anything that moves, makes noise, or distracts you -- no, this was most disappointing in almost every way -- we couldn't take that amount of NON-STOP ABSURDITY - -sorry -- (we do enjoy good humor, no question about that - -but this movie wasn't even remotely humorous - -just plain STUPID, NOT REALISTIC, and a steady stream of EXTREME SILLINESS -- too bad -- and to think of all the money it cost to produce -

Around the World in Over 80 Minutes of fun!

This is my favorite re-make of "Eighty Days Around the World." I love Jackie Chan movies and have a lot of them in my movie collection. I like the way the storyline went and the Steam-Punk way the designers approached inventions. I also liked the characters and the fact that each one had something to lose without the others help. Sure I had to suspend my grip on reality or I be going, "Come On!" throughout the whole movie. What fun is that?

I couldn't believe how good this film was.I wasn't expecting much but was completely blown away.
Steve Coogan as the 'Mad scientist' was an inspired casting,he is soo good.
Karen Joy Morris as General Fang does an absolute brilliant job of being a cool villain.
Some of the fight scenes are fantastic and had me exclaiming out loud.
The choriography is superb and the acting amazing.
Some critics have foolishly compared this version to previous ones - erroneously.
The director states categorically that was Not his intention but he did want to update and
make accessible Jules Vernes' story to both old and young audiences alike.
In my humble opinion,he does just that and adds a fantastic array of extras too.
The main reason I bought this was for the Jackie Chan aspect and I certainly wasn't disappointed.
My absolute favourite scene was when the July 4th plaque was in danger of squishing all 4 'combatants'
when they were tricked into being trapped inside a warehouse prior to catching the UK bound steamer.
There were just so many great sequences that you will just have to watch the film to enjoy them all.
Absolutely amazing !
OK,there might have been a few 'cheesy' moments but Hey,it's a film and we like to be cheesed sometimes.
The film was almost 2 hours long but it never dragged or lacked direction.
I have no hesitation whatsoever in awarding it the 5 stars it so richly deserves.

I saw this film at the cinema, and was not especially impressed, mainly due to comparing it unfavourably with the excellent 1956 David Niven version. A few years on, and I found myself watching the DVD version, and this time really enjoying it on its own merits - and this time no longer mindful of the earlier film. The recent version is actually not a remake of the 1956 movie, but tells Jules Verne's story in a fresh way, making full use of the athleticism and martial arts skills of Jackie Chan as Passepartout, whilst Steve Coogan plays Phileas Fogg with a typically English style and humour. The film is fast paced, there is lots of action, and the story is like a roller coaster ride as Fogg tries desperately to get from A to B to C whilst overcoming a series of complications along the way. There's no great depth of character studies to this film, but it delivers non-stop big screen entertainment and excitement suitable for all the family.

Wonderful! Such a feel good film, but probably because I never read the Jules Vernes story so couldn't see the inconsistencies in it.
Cecile de France which we didnt know about till this film, showed such a good side to herself we had to search for other films she was in. Jacky Chan was great and funny as he usually is, and the film in the whole was entertaining, raised all positive vibes and made me want to bounce about joyfully like a puppy and explore the world after them! (Not that I will, I am happy where I am) This is one of those films that inspires to get the better out of oneself! Recommended!

Watched the film on TV and after searched it to buy. Great and funny film! It is not exactly following the book, but as I say to my kids: these are two different media - literature and cinematography. As a film it is action packed and funny (Jackie Chan says it!). There is an old version of the film, which exactly follows the book, and it is boring three others of retelling. The book is great, but if you just put written words on the screen, it is not right. Get this film to have multitime fun!(I mean you will watch it more then once definitely).
