My Thoughts After Watching...
An interesting combination, I find... to pair Jackie Chan with Kim Hee Sun. It's a case of yellowish-wrinkled-skin versus snowy-fair-almost-flawless-supple-looking-skin. A refreshing story, about a modern-day archaeologist who often dreams about himself as an ancient warrior in Qin dynasty, protecting a princess (whom he later falls in love with) betrothed to Emperor Qin. Transitions between modern and ancient times are smoothly and smartly done. First 2/3 of the movie keeps me wanting more, until towards the end, the part where a horde of people (good guys and baddies) starts flying around in the air. Somewhat cheesy, but acceptable. During one of the fighting scenes, a colleague commented that Jackie's movements seemed less swift now. Perhaps age is really catching up.

I'm looking forward to this movie...as I do most of JC's films :-)

Who's Mallika, anyways? Is she big in Bollywood? She looks so gorgeous in the trailers (although they showed only very little of her)!

Apparently, Mallika is some well-known actress and a hot babe in India. Big boobs, I must stress again. Haha! Voluptuous figure... *whewwwiitttt*... Men sure like!

Her scenes aren't that major, probably abt 15-20mins? Guess that's probably why she isn't featured that much in the trailers.

One thing for sure, Jackie didn't let down his fans and the general mass with this latest movie of his. Definitely worth watching!

LOL you keep stressing on her 'assets', huh? No lah, when it comes to movies acting is still most important *ahem*

(P/S: I think JC also a bit 'hum sup'...most, if not all, of his movies have a history of 'showcasing' sexy/voluptuous/non-Chinese female actresses...)
