After brilliant Shanghai Noon, i had high hopes about this movie. Chan and Wilson are really good on this type of buddy -movies. Its entertaining factor has come down about when compared with first movie.

Shares most of the same problems as its predecessor (overlength and languid pacing), and almost forgets about Chan's strengths as a stunt performer, but as a piece of trivial fluff, it's fairly painless, with Wilson largely stealing the show as McConaughey-lite. Obvious, laboured gags around character names peppered through the screenplay are hit-and-miss at best.

At its best it does achieve some moments of playful globetrotting action-adventure fun, with some amusing Jackie stunt bits as per usual, such as the Singin In the Rain bit. I think I might like it just a bit better than the original? The comedy is mostly groaners, though, and the villain’s plot (machine gun the royal family??) is kind of stupid.

Knights is probably funnier than the first. It's more lighthearted than the first. It's even more heartwarming that the first. Overall however, it's missing the dramatic edge present in the original. Like the original, it coast completely on the shockingly easy chemistry between Jackie Chan and Owen Wilson.

To say this was light, fluffy and lacking substance is an understatement.
Unfunny, based on tired, lame stereotypes, no plot and no laughs. Unable to find its redeeming feature

This movie is really stupid. They stunts are good for the most part but the music really takes the enjoyment out of them. Almost all of the jokes fall flat and the score doesn't work at all. I'm not a fan of Owen Wilson so most of my score is for Jackie Chan and the underused but much appreciated Donnie Yen.

An unnecessary sequel that Wilson and Chan do their best to make passable. The story is pretty stupid, but is flanked by enough good action scenes and funny bits by Wilson to make you not realize it until you reflect on it later. It's not good, but it's light enough where you could enjoy it on a lazy Sunday afternoon.

Pairing Owen Wilson with Jackie Chan seems to create a team that is more annoying than the sum the two. Chan comes off as more of a goofy chinese stereotype than a rounded character, and Wilson is even more of a bother than usual.

Middling period action comedy along the usual lines of teaming Jackie Chan up with an American comedian, whisked from set piece to set piece with a formulaic good-vs-evil plot and various stereotypical side characters. Wilson and Chan have some alright banter and Victorian London (or studio 59) looks very fine. Donnie Yen's skills are largely wasted and Chan's are on the wane. The film is at least well-paced, but a lot of it seems phoned-in. Entertaining enough for TV but won't be remembered.
