One of my peak favorites of all time. I honestly don't believe there's anyone who can not like this. And if you do, in this one case your opinion is wrong.

the script is an emotional roller-coaster. .eye-popping fights and good cast. Jet Li shines.

Although they went a little overboard with the wire-fu, it does look wicked.

Far from genius but it was the best sci-fi/action movie of 2001. Couple very cool scenes.

The Forbidden Kingdom (2008,  PG-13)
The Forbidden Kingdom 3.0 Stars
Nice asian-fantasy family picture. Not a great movie (nothing I haven't seen better before) but really nice to look at. Fabulous FX, sweet visuals courtesy of Peter Pau, and lots of good Yuen Woo-Ping choreography. If only he directed! Rob Minkoff has only done children's movies. Guess that's not too far off. This is ideal for parents who are Jackie or Jet fans. Suitable for anyone, but too been-there-done-that for anyone to fall in love with it. If it does bring kids/adults into asian cinema then I will be beyond happy, I assure you.

War (Rogue Assassin) (2007,  R)
War (Rogue Assassin) 3.0 Stars
A hardcore assassin story, NOT the action extravaganza they want you to think, but they had the balls to go against convention throughout, and it'll leave you with something to talk about when it's over! I didn't mind waiting to figure out people's motivations even to the last minute. Unfortunately some of the story develops kinda slowly.
Pros:
- Kick-ass R rating like the good old days
- story-driven
- smart script
- impressive cast

Cons:- the title sucks. original title "Rogue" was way better.
- instead of balancing story with violence, it should have been story & action. there's a difference.
- it may be story-driven but not a lot develops either. (the killer gets away a lot of times.)
- missed potential...it's a totally good enough movie but you'll want it to be great and it's not

a nice surprise. Basically it's a Jackie Chan film, and a good one at that. This English dub is atrociously acted and cut, but that's all I got to go on, so...3 stars for extremely good, non-fantasy fighting.

like a bad Shanghai Noon with way better action. take that how you want. some really bad American actors. but the majority of the movie is allright.

if you're a fan of Part 1-3, for sure check it out. Stay far away if you haven't seen those.

the opposite of Romeo Must Die - this is a terrible looking movie with incredible, real martial arts performances.

this is just like watching the original Drunken Master -- terrible movie but watching the ultra-young mega-star is pretty sweet.

Uber-Hollywoodized Jet Li vehicle. Well shot as you'd expect, some stellar ideas, but the computer-fu fights are awful...basically the most non-real fights i've seen (special fx, wires, camera tricks)
