	Around the World in 80 Days DVD Review
		Computer-animated worlds sometimes act as a transitioning map, a location and day number occassionally remind us where we are (always in a different font), and fast-paced editing and zooms given this "Before the Turn of the Century" (though the century is not specified) piece a much modern look than its setting would merit.
		Though the late-19th century setting of Jules Verne's Around the World in 80 Days is an important character (and perhaps the most important one), the book has a kind of timeless, universal appeal that made a film version in the '50s relevant and entertaining and could make a new adaptation feel the same.
		"Around the World of Jackie Chan" (6:30) is a kind of fluffy featurette that centers on the the Chinese actor's slapstick and martial arts which figures so largely on the movie.

	MTV Movie News \| 'Around The World In 80 Days' Doesn't Stink, By Kurt Loder
		I didn't expect much (well, anything, really) from the new remake of "Around the World in 80 Days." So I was surprised to find that it's an action movie, a pretty funny one, its virtually non-stop donnybrooks giddily orchestrated by the still-inimitable Jackie Chan.
		The movie opens in Victorian London, where a visitor named Lau Xing (Chan) is trying to recover a small jade Buddha that was stolen from his village in China by a wily female warlord called General Fang.
		When Fogg announces his latest nutty conviction — that it's possible to travel all the way around the world in 80 days or less — the head of the Academy dares him to prove it.

		The movie’s worst offence is its political incorrectness.
		Although the world has gotten a lot smaller since the book was written in 1873, or this landmark movie was made in 1956, the secret to enjoying this story remains the same: Remember, it is the voyage-- not the destination—that matters most.

		AROUND THE WORLD IN 80 DAYS is more a triumph of spectacle than of storytelling, with an extraordinary backstory of a master entrepreneur's decade-long dream to create the biggest, most extravagant entertainment ever made.
		Cantinflas is an important element to the movie; as in the scene in Spain where his spontaneous burst of enthusiastic dancing resulted in an invitation too participate in a bullfight.
		Around the World in 80 Days is a movie in the grand tradition of Hollywood.

	DVD review of Around The World In 80 Days - DVDTOWN.com
		Verne's basic plot and setting remain the same, a bet to circumnavigate the globe in eighty days at a time when such a feat was considered impossible, so nothing much has changed here.
		The new movie has the estimable Jackie Chan in the co-starring role of Passepartout, and he brings considerable energy to the part; but the old movie boasted Cantinflas, Mexico's most-popular comedian, as Passepartout, and it had David Niven in the lead role of Phileas Fogg.
		As far as buddy movies go, this one is about what we have come to expect from Chan of late, since he always seems to be teamed up with somebody else.

	"Around the World in 80 Days" / a review and/or comments from Christian Spotlight on the Movies
		The days when families could hop into the car for a fun night of seeing most any movie that was playing are, of course, long gone.
		Fogg, an inventor, is challenged to travel around the world in 80 days or else, he should never invent again.
		The main characters showed admirable traits and even though their were some mild offenses, such as the “D” word twice and some mildly revealing costuming in two scences, the overall message had to do with living out the beliefs you hold and not compromising your integrity to the temptation of power or wealth.

	Around The World In 80 Days: Special Edition (1956)
		The most notable flick to lose to World was Giant; it’s a solid film but not quite on the same level as Rain or Noon.
		World features an absolutely insane roster of cameos, almost none of which actually add anything to the movie other than the “ooh!” factor, as in, “Ooh — that’s Frank Sinatra!” Actually, the “ooh!” factor seems somewhat low for modern audiences, as many of the guests will pass unrecognized.
		Around the World in 80 Days appears in an aspect ratio of approximately 2.20:1 on these single-sided, double-layered DVDs; the image has been enhanced for 16X9 televisions.

	Around The World In 80 Days DVD - The Hollywood News
		Whereas the 1956 World included guest spots from folks like Frank Sinatra, Marlene Dietrich and Peter Lorre, most of the new version's cameos come from 'B'-level celebrities like Macy Gray, Kathy Bates and Rob Schneider, your movie doesn't exactly bask in star power.
		Around the World in 80 Days appears in an aspect ratio of approximately 2.35:1 on this single-sided, double-layered DVD; the image has been enhanced for 16X9 televisions.
		Discovering Around the World in 80 Days goes for 18 minutes, 52 seconds and includes statements from Coraci, Chan, Coogan, Bremner, Granat and actors Cecile de France, Rob Schneider, John Cleese, Jim Broadbent and Karen Joy Morris among others; the program doesn't credit some of the participants.

	Around the World in Eighty Days (1956) Detailed Movie Reviews
		This is the original 1956 movie version of Jules Verne's classic book of the same name, which remains a classic favorite on TV, video and DVD.
		A meticulous man, Fogg has calculated everything down to the minute but, the world being unpredictable, Fogg is continually forced to change plans and strategies which has the effect of turning the project into a grand adventure rather than the carefully scripted plan he began with.
		One day in 1872, dry and proper Victorian gentleman Phileas Fogg (Niven) extols the new railroad and steamship technology, which he thinks would enable one to travel around the globe in 80 days or fewer.

	DVD review of Around the World in Eighty Days (Special Edition) - DVDTOWN.com
		Around the World in Eighty Days may have its faults and lost some of its original allure, but it remains a sure-bet even today.
		"Around the World in Eighty Days," needless to say, was among the biggest of them all, icing its message by winning five Academy Awards, including Best Picture of the year.
		The movie is little more than a glorified travelogue, with a whole lot of beautiful and exotic settings (filmed largely on location around the world), a few totally random adventures, and the biggest cast of cameos ever assembled for a motion picture thrown together in a gargantuan three-hour block.

		Movies that are visual feasts that wow you, but leave you feeling empty on the inside.
		Ingeniously, the movie's opening (with a prolog by Edward R. Murrow) begins in the standard 35mm full screen mode, which was the shape of a TV screen.
		If you saw this movie in the theaters in 1956, this is where the curtain would pull open to cover the whole wall of the theater, therefor making the movie as immersive as possible.

	Movie Review for Around the World in 80 Days
		Fogg accepts the bet and races off around the world with his dishonest and newly acquired valet, a daunting task for anyone in 1876, let alone a man who has never taken a step outside London.
		The movie never really stops to explore much of their journey, preferring to skip along the tracks to their arrivals at various destinations, with weird animated map interludes to link all those points together.
		Around the World in 80 Days is about Phileas Fogg and his journey around the world, not a showcase for a rehash of all of Jackie Chan’s greatest his.

	Around the World in 80 Days
		The high point in Around the World in 80 Days is something that most people will miss completely.
		Like the 1956 adaptation of the classic Jules Verne novel, the movies is chock full of celebrity cameos.
		The concept is familiar, Lord Kelvin (a wasted role for Jim Broadbent, Nicholas Nickleby, Vanity Fair) challenges Fogg to travel the world in eighty days or less.

	What goes 'Around' comes back around \| The San Diego Union-Tribune
		'Around the World in Eighty Days" in 1956 was not exactly pitched to salon sophisticates, but the new version, "Around the World in 80 Days," is like a spoof designed for a popcorn crowd at least 10 to 15 years younger.
		The famed Mike Todd movie was named Oscar's best of that year, though its best feature, David Niven as splendidly unflappable Phileas Fogg, wasn't nominated (he was compensated two years later, winning for the far less winning "Separate Tables").
		He is now a compulsive inventor who seems to merge into Verne's Capt. Nemo, and his optimism offends Lord Kelvin, a Victorian science totem who really did think that progress had come to a happy end.

	Around the World in 80 Days - Review (Around the World in Eighty Days)
		For 'Around the World in 80 Days' bears little resemblance to either of them.
		It's got some holes in the plot, it's a little overly-cartoony in places, and it sometimes feels a bit rushed (80 days are, after all, a heckuva lot to squeeze into two hours) - but I had a better time at this one than I've had at many of this year's releases.

	MCN DVD Review
		The 1955 Oscar winner, Around the World in Eighty Days, has been released by Warner Home Videos a Two-Disc Special Edition (28632, $276) in letterboxed format only, a glorious rendering of the film's Todd-AO widescreen cinematography, which has an aspect ratio of about 2.15:1 and an accommodation for enhanced 16:9 playback.
		Once in a while there will be a segment that is a little grainier or has slightly weaker contrasts than the others, but it is clear that an extensive effort has gone into presenting the film as closely as possible to its original splendor.
		The one subject Sibley doesn't cover all that thoroughly in his commentary is Todd himself, but that is compensated for in a 50-minute biographical documentary from 1968 on the second platter that goes over his entire life and career, and includes interviews with many of the people who worked with him.
