Reviews for Around the World in 80 Days
Everything about this production seems tired.

True to Walt's original vision for Walt Disney pictures...you can taste the corniness.

Jackie Chan is in a tiny tub with a man. Again.
06/24/04
Once it settles down, 80 Days becomes a pretty enjoyable comic-action romp that's ultimately twice as much fun as a lot of technically better movies I could name.
06/24/04
The absolutely scariest scene in Around the World in 80 Days features Arnold Schwarzenegger.
06/23/04
All my critical faculties tell me I shouldn't recommend it. But when I think of how often it I grinned (once a minute) and how often I checked my watch (never), I give up.
06/22/04
The style of humor – with its forced high jinks and pathetic attempts at farce – is so aggressively outrageous that it ultimately becomes abusive to the audience.

You may be pleasantly surprised by just how good this remake of the Jules Verne classic really is.
06/22/04
The gargantuanly funny performance of Jim Broadbent as a deliciously greedy, quill-whipping maniac is worth the admission ticket alone.

It was exactly what I expected and that's something I didn't really want to see.

...a pleasing mix of martial arts and madcap comedy, with a string of big-name cameos thrown in for good measure.

Jackie Chan stars in this fast paced remake of the famous Jules Verne story.

[a] feeble and flighty excuse for family fare. It’s too bad that this inflated romp doesn’t have the intended impact of a Jackie Chan animated chop to the head.
06/20/04
Only a devotee of the original film or a hardcore sourpuss could find serious fault with this world romp.
06/20/04
It's not as classic as the novel.
06/19/04
This live action cartoon creates a world that has nothing to do with the real one, so it can be as exaggerated as it wants to be without getting lost in earthbound details.

Top CriticThis is something slightly different, but only because it’s offensive at so many levels.
