I haven't read the novel so I couldn't really compare or diss it, its a fun movie to watch with some good stunts from Jackie and a lot of celebrity appearances.
A heart warming friendship between two strangers on a simple yet adventurous quests, it had two legendary actors and a great script yet something didn't seem right..blame Reiner?
This movie is made for people that have grown up with a strong imagination, what a beautiful and sweet film, I truly loved it! :)....the ending was a bit sad but the story is magical and it brought back so many memories of when I use to have those fantasies as kid, only I never had a cool playmate like that :(
I've always wondered when Jackie Chan and Jet Li would be in a movie together and Forbidden Kingdom was the answer, I thought of it as a disney movie with tons of action, special effects and a cool adventure story with humorous moments.
