Jackie kicks it where the others missed it every time, historically inaccurate.

"Shanghi Knights" was a seriously overlooked movie this spring. With huge laughs throughout and improved chemistry between the two leads, it is a shame that the movie didn't have more success at the box office. After "Knights" I would follow these... Full review

This movie is actually funny and entertaining. I wasn't expecting much because the past several Jackie Chan films, Rush Hour sequels and the Tuxedo, have sucked. But, the duo of Chan and Wilson really worked. The whole Sherlock Holms gag... Full review

Scott's Movie Reviews
Between the bigger budget, the lavish production values and a "Forrest Gump"-style attempt to make references to British history, every effort is made to make "Shanghai Knights" better than it's predecessor.
Shanghai Knights" is a little slow going, and the stunts feel somewhat tame compared to Chan's earlier work (after all, the guy is 49), but the film makes up for its flaws with a healthy dose of charm between its charismatic co-stars.

Bucket Reviews
But the likeability of 48 year-old kung-fu star, Jackie Chan, is so great that it makes any film lively and fun.
The fight scenes are what save Shanghai Knights from being instantly forgettable, and turn it in to a full-fledged extravaganza.

He also has chemistry with the extremely charismatic Jackie Chan.
Aidan Gillen plays the villain well, a royal with the look of Johnny Rotten.

And with plans for a sequel to Knights tentatively in the works (to be titled Shanghai Dawn), there's a good chance we'll get to see Wilson and Chan in action again.
However, director David Dobkin keeps events running breezily along, and knows when to showcase his stars' talents.

Combustible Celluloid
I mean, Shanghai Knights is about as good as it gets in Hollywood's assembly line, but Chan deserves greatness.
And Shanghai Knights clearly shows him as he wants to be seen, as a comic artist with a gift for movement, and not a violent fighter-type.
