    Decent martial arts fantasy tail that is enjoyable without ever being hard work on the brain

    Maybe if I was younger, or if Chan and Li were younger.

    Chan and Li should have teamed up for something more epic, something more serious. It's like if DeNiro and Pacino had teamed up for a family friendly crime comedy. At least The Forbidden Kingdom stays fairly true to many classic Kung-Fu films. Yes, it's lighter in tone and is too...( read more) concerned with making the cool American teen the hero, but there's plenty of action and impressive choreography. Li is excellent in a double role, relishing his opportunity to play the Monkey King. Chan does his usual stuff and also doubles up as an old man in very bad make-up. Forbidden Kingdom is a great film for kids and young teens and they wont feel embarrassed for liking it, when they grow up.

    Hmmmm the usual curious mystic honk kong phooey chop sockey spiritual action flick based in the Orient. What can I say...it looks lovely with beautiful green vistas and magical splashes of light and sorcery....but the story is the usual weird and wonderful mess which is kinda uno...( read more)riginal and boring. Its the usual wizards, martial arts, magic and evil henchmen by the numbers haha

    The heroes (Jackie and Jet) train and make a martial arts expert outta of useless 80's lookin American kid who somehow travels to another world of mystic wizards and monkey kings and of course..manages to save it no worries. Surprise surprise hehe.

    there's nothing special here atall really...its all been see before and is rather cliched.chan and li are good together for sure but they need to do something more original.

    It was... okay. A slightly more plastic form of a typical chinese kungfu movie, but some characters made it worth watching. Good choreography (as expected), but am slightly turned off by the whole "cool American kid" bit. Simple movie, that's it really.

    Eh... I could take it or leave it. Maybe my expectations were already lowered due to the mixed reviews I got.
