I used to like it and a lot of stuff in the same style years ago. This time, I just found it annoying. It does have a few moments of inventive* , kinetic action that are fun. But I still feel like I'd much rather watch a Jackie Chan movie from back when they were still fun.
*Like the moment where he creates and oil slick and uses it to slide under obstacles. Or when he shoots a locker door from behind, causing it to open in the face of a bad guy.

I used to like it and find it moving. Embarrasing.

You're the first person I've seen who doesn't think it's a masterpiece.

I really need to see Jaws again. It's been 10+ years since last, so I can't really remember it. I wouldn't be surprised if I really like it.
