Reviews

The Medallion received a mix of reviews from critics, with some praising Jackie Chan's charismatic performance and the impressive action sequences. Empire Magazine noted, 'Jackie Chan's boundless energy and acrobatics shine through in The Medallion, making it an entertaining watch for action enthusiasts.' However, other reviewers found the plot to be lacking depth and originality, with The Hollywood Reporter stating, 'Despite Chan's best efforts, The Medallion falls short in delivering a cohesive storyline.' The film's blend of martial arts and fantasy elements drew comparisons to Chan's previous works, such as Rush Hour, but ultimately failed to reach the same level of critical acclaim. With a rating of 5.2/10 on IMDb, 17% on Rotten Tomatoes, and 38/100 on Metacritic, The Medallion leaves viewers divided on its overall quality.
