This is close to a 3.5/5. As many reviews state, the main criticism is that a lot of the stand up comedy isn't very funny. It does get better towards the end when the contestants are competing in the competition, but still never reaches any great heights.

This is poor until 'Midnight Run'. Particularly so given that I was coming straight from his great debut. The following 'Used' sounds like it has some of the skeleton of his hit 'Fake'. It sounds like he was trying too hard to fit in with the new jack swing trend over the first handful of songs. Although, I will say there are some original touches in songs like 'Somebody'. The second half is a big improvement though and has some impressive moments, with the title being the best, but nothing that is competing with his best from his first two albums.

Given what I knew about this film - Benjamin's condition - it wasn't as interesting or unique as I thought it would be. It kept me entertained enough, but I don't think it will be that memorable. I didn't buy Benjamin's reason for abandoning his daughter and Blanchett is pretty annoying/unlikeable as Daisy throughout almost all of this. She's far from desirable. 3.5-3 out of 5.

At times this seems like it should have been more confusing than it is, but it comes together well. The background to Denzel's character is lacking, and with any time travel movie there are plot holes, but otherwise it has originality for a science-fiction movie.

Shanghai Knights uses a lot of the comedy from the first film. The best thing about this is the choreography in the fight scenes that is original and more entertaining than the first. Roy does very little in this by way of fighting with Chon doing pretty much everything. It was similar in the first but Roy had some part to play.
