Eh, it's funny but nothing new. The only excellent acting comes from Fann Wong. The story is funny, the dialogue contrived in some parts but watch it anyways.
LOL JACKIE CHAN AND OWEN WILSON MAKE MY LIFE COMPLETE.
I loved this movie, if you couldnt tell...
Liked the two protagonist/two antagonist deal and the use of historical characters (like the prequel), but ultimately just less entertaining and more raunchy than the first one. And the bad guys were dispatched much too quickly for it to be satisfyin...

I have watched its Punjabi dubbed version " Butt te Bhatti". That extra funny.
Moves through each set piece smoothly, but it is let down by poor special effects and a weak villain
owen wilson's drawing totally sold the whole movie for me :) saw it with spencer i think and we pretty much enjoy anything we watch together so maybe that's why i liked it
It's hard to not like a film which knows exactly what it is and has so much fun doing it.

A Bank Holiday family film if ever there was one.

Knights will surely find an enthusiastic following before it gets to video.full review
A desperately unfunny action comedy, mirthless not only in its effect on an audience but in its whole aura.full review
The movie is just the sort of mindless entertainment we're ready for after all of December's distinguished and significant Oscar finalists.full review
So appallingly slipshod in all the usual departments is this sequel to the engaging martial-arts comedy Western Shanghai Noon that you're tempted to cite its makers for contempt.full review
A pretty entertaining movie, in a kick-you- in-the-pants kind of way.full review
Grating. That's the best word to describe this flat follow-up to Shanghai Noon.full review
