Martial arts legend Jackie Chan stars as Jack, a world-renowned archaeologist who has begun having mysterious dreams of a past life as a warrior in ancient China. When a fellow scientist enlists his help locating the mausoleum of China's first emperor, the past collides violently with the present as Jack discovers his amazing visions are based in fact. Assisted by the spirit of a noble princess...
Archeologist Jack keeps having reoccurring dreams of a past life, where he is the great General Meng Yi, whom is sworn to protect a Korean Princess named OK-soo. Jack decides to go investigate everything with his friend William.
Jackie Chan's movies are always safe and wholesome entertainment that try to be crowd pleasers. The myth is no different. Here, he has teamed up with director Stanley Tong ( of RUMBLE IN THE BRONX ) and ( CROUCHING TIGER HIDDEN DRAGON ) scribe Wang Hui Ling to make a tomb-raider story that zips between China's Qing Dynasty era and the present day. Jackie plays Jack, an Indian Jones style archaeologist who has recurring dreams about Korean princess OK-Soo ( Kim Hee Soon ) who is sent to be the bride of China's first emperor Qin Shi Huang. In the dreams, Jack is General MEng-Yi, whose mission is to protect the princess from rebels and escort her safely to the emperor. Of course, along the way, General Meng-Yi falls in love with her, and gets involved in dastardly court intrigues and conspiracies. Back to the present day, Jack gets a visit form his scientist friend, William ( Tony Leung Ka Fai ) who wants him to go to Dasar in India to check out a temple that seems to defy the force of gravity. William believes he is on the verge of a breakthrough in levitation -- and he needs Jack's help to 'smoothen' the way for him. In Dasar, they stumble on a magical gemstone and an ancient sword -- and invariably become relic robbers. However, those who have seen enough of JAckie Chan flicks would realise that this 'travelogue' segment is merely an excuse to introduce Bollywood sex siren Mallika Sherawat as Samantha, a yoga student who rescues Jack and helps him to flee his pursuers. Expectedly, Mallika provides a sensual dance number and one of the most 'memorable' comedy sequences that takes place in a rat glue factory in India. Another travelogue sequence takes us to a huge mountain cavern--ostensibly the mausoleum of the Qin emperor--where more anti gravity fighting (read wire-fu) scenes occur. The constant shuttling between the Qin Dynasty and present day is tiresome and it does not help the flow of the story or the plot. And the climax is unexpectedly bloody for a Jackie Chan flick. Jackie and director Tong seem to have joined the bandwagon of styled kungfu films like Ang Lee's Crouching Tiger Hidden Dragon and Zhang Yimou's HERO but Tong is unable to stage the battle sequences for maximum effect. Its slow motion scenes are more laughable than engaging. However, The Myth maintains its element of fun and adventure and these are what most of Jackie Chan's fans expect.
A while back, Jackie wanted to be in a drama movie. What a missed opportunity this was! He could have had that in the second half of this movie (in the modern time). Skip all the fantasy stuffs (meteorite, immortality pill, horse kicking, celestial palace etc.), and just focus on the love story that restart in modern time --- this could be a good movie. He had a good opportunity with Kim Hee Soon. Not the best chemistry, but if allowed to developed further, it is so possible. Wonderful song, too, he sang with Kim Hee Soon --- if you know the meaning of every single word in the lyric. Perhaps wrong director and vision… But then, Stanley was the one who wrote the story. His main weakness is focusing on too much action (and CGI!) and lack of substance (drama). The action part was not even that good other than the time when Jackie fights. A horse that kicks on command… I had to chuckle on that one. Not because it's not possible; just the fact that the CGI looks so bloody awful!
