The film makes a home in your brain and the only cure is to see it again.

This is a must-see and one of the best documentaries - and films - of this year.

One of the best movies of the year! Incredible from the beginning to the end.

Story: It's very simple but honestly that is fine.

Jackie stars as an archaeologist who falls asleep and wakes up as a general in another time. The movie is an epic, with a stunning soundtrack (that I still listen to to this day), beautiful visuals and a grander storyline than his other movies. He always gets the girl.

no fun no humor even the action was terrible.released in 2005 the myth is a Chinese film starting Jackie Chan & malika shirawat & other actors.the story is weak plus too much of a twist in the end just to reveal that its all a bull crap.a total time wasting movie..i like Jackie Chan but this time he disappoints.old & new style mixed it looks like a C grade movie..don't even watch this for free please..its worst movie ever.my rating is 2/10//do not watch & waste your time or money

What do you expect when you see a movie like this? Something huge with thousands of extras and perfect computer effects? Check. Archaeology action like Indiana Jones? Check. Tragical love story with beautiful lady? Check. Speedy stunts, fights and fun like in the good old Jackie Chan flicks? Check. Judging by the sum of its parts, this ought to be the greatest movie of the 21st century. In reality, it's not quite so. 2 tremendously entertaining hours, yes, but not a perfect movie.What are the reasons? I'd like to name three. First, I always see Jackie Chan with a helmet, desperately trying to keep a straight face, when I am supposed to see the general. He just isn't that type of guy. The dreams or historical flashbacks are therefore less convincing than the scenes from the present day. Second, the whole anti-gravity stone thing has much too much Spielberg in it. The myth could have remained a myth, in other words: the audience doesn't always want a scientific explanation why things happen, especially if it's as unlikely as this one. Third, I think what neither worked well in this movie is the villain. From the moment he appears and does the usual "I'll steal the big Blah to rule the world" villain routine, the rest becomes predictable. If the screenplay had dared to move along a different path, it would have evoked less of the "seen it before" feeling. I enjoyed it, but regrettably it's not without the little flaws mentioned.

Well, that's the most polite and objective way to express my feeling about this movie. I think they called it (the Myth) whether because they found no title fair enough to describe the incompatible elements they chose concerning history, legends, transmigration of souls, BLA BLA BLA, or maybe they named it (The Myth) unconsciously as the closest word to (The Mess) ! It's common at our slang to characterize anything badly mishmash as (salad) ! So taste this "one" with me. There are a lot of good sequences (I liked the glue's factory the most). In fact those very detached sequences were the best thing here at all but as long as they remained that detached, you'll never get the joy or even the taste of a whole movie after. You watch a good chase to save the princess, a good stealing for a flying sword, a tough sword duel, a nice romance (yet in detached scenes also !), ..to the end of what needed better plot which would've created solider, more convincing, more gratifying movie. Even James Bond's movies got plots more connected than this one !I remember that I had vertigo while watching; for instance at the war sequence ! Basically why I would bother myself to be worry over (Jackie) in the time that I know so well that he would be totally fine in the future ?! So whatever happened in this war (especially the horses' kicking !) Jackie will survive eventually ! How they were so determined as well as enthusiastic to make that whole sequence while knowing that the audience would never tense ??! Originally, look at the 2 parallel dramatic lines of the movie; they didn't attune the sense of thrill between them both as the story of one was holding up the other all along ! Moreover : why did they show us India like it's in the middle ages ?! Why didn't they make it all a time travel in the first place ? How a history professor is living in that luxury ? How Jackie -who's too short- could manage to be a general ?, and why I fell asleep while watching what's supposed to be An Action Adventure movie ??The answer of all of that : They couldn't mix it nicely.Yet it wasn't that awful. Because it had (Jackie Chan) anyway, a real great music score, and (Mallika Sherawat); although it was for some moments but watching her in that white outfit, or with the elephant.. WAW that specifically was wickedly enjoyable and symbolically creative to say the least !Generally...It's the case of having some right vegetables in one tasteless salad !
