Jackie Chan, Owen Wilson, Sherlock Holmes and Jack the Ripper ride the Magic Bus in this daffy, delightful voyage to swinging London, circa 1890.--Charles Taylor (Salon)
There isn't much to Shanghai Knights besides the Knights themselves, but they're a fun little diversion that's well worth the time. B--Craig Younkin (Lee's Movie Info)
Had me laughing harder and producing more fun reactions during the outtakes than the entire ride itself C--Lee Tistaert (Lee's Movie Info)
Like Noon, Knights is not one of the better movies around. But it is downright entertaining with its blend of comedy and action, and the fusion of both. 6/10--'Le Apprenti' (Movie-Vault.com)
If you enjoyed Shanghai Noon, you'll surely get a kick out of Shanghai Knights. And as far as mindless entertainment goes, you really could do a lot worse.  --David Nusair (Reel Film Reviews)
It's not that it's shockingly bad - in fact, the laugh count is higher than that of the commercially successful original. But it's as waywardly plotted and ultimately grating as its predecessor: a series of so-so to sprightly stunt sequences linked by a stupid, lazy script.  --Nev Pierce (BBC Films)
The only thing that makes this flick a touch more interesting than the original installment (which was only so-so in the first place) is the addition of yet another cute ass-kicking Asian babe who brings a little freshness to the proceedings. 6/10--'JoBlo' (JoBlo.com)

Enjoyable action comedy, with both Chan and Wilson on top form – impressive fight scenes and enough good gags to make you forget the bad ones.  --Matthew Turner (ViewLondon)
Fun-packed globe-trotting hi-jinks, significantly funnier and more entertaining than its trailer suggests. 7/10--Gary Panton (Movie Gazette)
