Jules Verne's famous novel of a daring man who takes on the greatest voyage in history is once again adapted for the big screen in this adventure comedy. In 1872, eccentric British inventor Phileas Fo... read more read more...gg (Steve Coogan) has come up with any number of gadgets to help people travel with greater speed and ease, and is working on plans for a flying machine. In a lively discussion with Lord Kelvin (Jim Broadbent), the head of the Royal Academy of Science, Fogg states his belief that it's possible for someone to travel around the globe in a mere 80 days. Kelvin, who makes no secret of his belief that Fogg is a crackpot, challenges him to do just that, and adds a wager to the bargain to make things interesting: if Fogg can't circumnavigate the globe in 80 days, he'll give up inventing forever. Fogg takes the challenge, and teams up with his manservant, a former acrobat named Passepartout (Jackie Chan), and lovely navigator Monique (Cécile De France) to make the epic voyage -- traveling by train, boat, balloon, horseback, or any other means at their disposal. However, Fogg and his companions are dogged along the way by the false accusation that the inventor took part in a bank robbery, forcing him to not only complete the journey but clear his name as well. Like the blockbuster 1956 adaptation of Around the World in 80 Days, this film features a number of major stars in cameo appearances and supporting roles as Fogg makes his way around the globe, including Arnold Schwarzenegger, John Cleese, Luke Wilson, Owen Wilson, Kathy Bates, Sammo Hung, Rob Schneider, Richard Branson, Mark Addy, and more. ~ Mark Deming, Rovi

    [My predicted rating 2.5]

    I would never have chosen to watch this film and yet it did have a fair bit of entertainment value. There were some good effects throughout the film and of course some good Martial Arts choreography from Jackie Chan, in fact even the usually irritating... read more Steve Coogan did a good job - a good adventure!

    A bad remake of the same-titled 1950s Best Picture Winner.

    One of my all time favourite films. Really funny and I haven't seen the original but this has got to be one of the best remakes. Arnold's cameo is amazing!

    A movie that I can actually tolerate Steve Coogan! Steve is Phileas Fog who needs to win a bet to travel around the world in 80 days. He embarks on many adventures travelling through Europe, Asia and America. Good performances from Jackie Chan who plays his valet and Kathy Bates ... read morewho plays Queen Victoria.

    Jackie Chan seems to play the same Chinese stereotype in every Hollywood film he's in. However, I have to admit that I like him and would proably watch anything he was in. I'm not usually a fan of Steve Coogan but I really liked his Phileas Fogg. The comedy's a bit too slapstick ... read morefor my taste, but half the fun is in spotting all the references to modern culture and history. I have to say I was also guilty of enjoying Owen Wilson's cameo-style role as a Wright Brother.

Has that cheesy, chintzy mid-Florida feel that we all know and love, despite its $110 million budget. Full Review

This second bigscreen version of Jules Verne's 1873 novel takes plenty of liberties with the material and never generates much genuine excitement, but provides an agreeable ride without overloading it... Full Review
