Nothing special. Some of the camera work would’ve benefited from a more seasoned director (This is Jonathan Entwistle first feature-length flick, he only did just short flicks) which leaves Legends feeling uninspired but I can’t help but smile at the chemistry between Jackie Chan, Ralph Macchio & Ben Wang being adorably funny together. So, for what it’s worth, that made up for some underwhelming filmmaking. Honestly, no one’s really “bad” in this (maybe besides the antagonist because he’s so “stock” as a bad guy) and does what they can in a film that’s over in the speed of an F1 race. Saw it on a random Tuesday night, went home about it with a “not bad” attitude.
I’ve seen better but we’ve seen much worse from this 41-year old franchise.
This was just a good fun watching. Had a feeling that the TV show fans would love it extra and that’s fine. However, shout-out to Allan, he’s the MVP, we all need an Allan in a world of karate and Kung Fu and boxing fighters in our corner. If you’re struggling with dating, find you an Allan. Paravai-Kaaran out!
