 Warning - edited version Mar 04, 2010
Although Amazon says this is the full 122 minute version, they are mistaken. It is the edited-for-the-US-market 96 minute version. If that is what you are looking for, then this would get more stars. I've wasted several people's time and money over this mistake, but it is not what it says. The original Chinese version with English subtitles is the real 122 minute version.
 action packed romance Dec 29, 2009
When I bought this, I wasn't expecting a romance in the plot. I am glad I was surprised. The music mirrored the story well and there were some sweet and tender moments. The ending wasn't as I had hoped, but it ended fairly well.

The delivery was on time and in excellent condition.
We love Jackie Chan movies. Great Action. I don't want to spoil the ending for you!
Boring and depressing Sep 13, 2009
First of all it is sooo long and secnd is that it's really depressing. It's also really confusing. Everyone dies or does something that the other one doesn't like. It's PG-13 so, I do not recomend it for children 10 or under. I hated it. It was the worst one Jackie Chan did. Warning! Death may be caused by this boring movie.
 Levitation and Immortality Aug 07, 2009
The Myth brings to the screen the story of a Chinese archaeologist who is haunted by a Chinese general's past from centuries ago. Urged on by recurring dreams and a nudge by an old friend, Jack embarks on a quest to find answers to an ancient mystery. As he gets closer to the solution, however, the general's past comes dangerously close to catching up with him.
The film combines romance, drama, action and adventure in an effort to follow in the footsteps of other great Chinese films of recent years.
The film goes back and forth between the present and the past, however, it might as well have remained in the past as most of what occurred in the present either did not make much sense or it was badly done.
The setting, costumes, the music, and the battle sequences are great, though the acting, the plot, and the ending (!) were mediocre, average, and way below average respectively.
In a nutshell, it's probably not a movie you would want to add to your collection, but it will provide for an evening's entertainment. 3.4 Stars
For some truly AMAZING films the following are highly recommended to those with a soft spot for all things Chinese: A Battle of Wits, Seven Swords, Crouching Tiger Hidden Dragon, The House of Flying Daggers, The Promise, and Hero.
