The stars: Jackie Chan (pretending to be French. Don't ask), Steve Coogan (bumbling-mad scientist type), Arnold Schwarzenegger (no, really) and loads of others in small roles.

The plot: It's the 1800s and Jackie Chan has stolen a precious statue to return it to his village. He hides with eccentric inventor Phileas Fogg (Coogan) to avoid the police - but Fogg has accepted a bet to travel around the world. In 80 days.

Best bits:The awesome kung-fu fighting set up by Chan. Not sure it was in the original book though.

Fave characters: Steve Coogan is ace as Fogg, mugging away to pull some great faces.

Any slip-ups?: Arnie trying his hand at comedy as a Turkish prince. That's not funny, that's just weird, that is. It's a bit slow to get started too.

Hit or Miss: Give it time, and it's a Hit.

I thought it was great. It's finally a movie that I enjoy and laugh at and my parents and younger bro like it too. It's wicked cool! I didn't really like Arnold Schwarzenegger tho.

I thought this film was ace! Especially Steve Coogan and all of Jackie Chan's fighting scenes he's pretty good for 50. I went to see this movie at the European premier!

I have read the book and found it much more interesting than the film. I disagree with the other people and thought that they spent too much time doing Kung-Fu just to involve Jackie Chan. Steve Coogan was brilliant though!

It was a cool movie but it could have been better.

Absolutely brilliant! Beautifully Acted. My favourite scene was the last one with Kathy Bates, who plays Queen Victoria. Kathy puts on a fab English accent!!!

Yeah it was hilarious - that evil woman was very weird looking and she was not Chinese - well she didn't look Chinese.

Very slow to start, but turns out to be a fun family adventure.

I liked it more than any other film.

I think it was brilliant. I really liked the Kung Fu bit by Jackie Chan. I didn't like Arnie though - he was seriously freaky.
