Movie Reviews of The Forbidden Kingdom
Movie Review: Great Martial Arts Movie J&J one of my favs
Summary: 5 Stars
First of all, I'm surprised this didn't do better in the box office. It is the first pairing of the 2 legends Jackie Chan and Jet Li in the same movie. I did go to the theaters and see it. It has special meaning since it was the last movie I saw with my mother before she died. Jackie Chan is my favorite actor though and the fight scene between them was worth the price. I thought adding the kid would make it lamer but it didn't bother me too much. If next time J&J do a movie it should just focus on them. I was impressed with Jackie's fighting in the movie considering his age. It has a good story and sort of reminded me of The Wizard of Oz, but the foreign version. I pretty much knew I would have to own this movie even before I actually saw it. If your into martial arts and think Jackie or Jet rock you have to own it. It is one of my favorite movies of all time!!Movie Review: The Forbidden Kingdom
Summary: 5 Stars
Based on the Chinese legend of the monkey king, an American teen discovers the king's legendary stick weapon in a pawn shop. He is transported back in time to ancient China, where he joins a crew of warriors fighting to free the imprisoned king. This movie works on many levels, it is a great action movie with very well done kung fu action scenes involving Jackie Chan and Jet Li, two of the greatest kung fu movie stars in the past couple of decades. In the midst of all of this is a great deal of fairly well done comedy. Very satisfying none the less.Movie Review: spectacular
Summary: 5 Stars
When you think of jackie chan you think drunken master well he used the kung fu drunken fist which is excellent by the way most people only give it 1 2 or 3 stars but the question is could they do half of the stuff li and chan did so dont listen to them thats why I gave it 5 out of 5 stars.The best martial arts epic ive seen in a long time has a good story the dialogue is great I recommend this movie to anyone that is
ACTUALLY in the martial arts and likes the actors.
Movie Review: Family friendly entertainment
Summary: 5 Stars
This is a fun teen-age martial arts wish fulfillment movie.
The production values are wonderful, the acting and direction are excellent, and the plot line is well developed and takes you to a good wrapup of all the plotlines.
There is good character development as the kid discovers strength inside himself and becomes a hero (that's the wish fulfillment part).
In all, a nifty movie, and one for the whole family.
Movie Review: Martial Arts Fairy Tale Come To Life
Summary: 5 Stars
A great story about taking a Western-world wimp kid, obsessed with martial arts, and introducing him to Eastern-world martial art philosophies and training in a fairy tale setting (the story of the 'Monkey King'). If for no other reason to get this movie, the fight scene between Jackie Chan and Jet Li is absolutely awesome. If you are a fan of either or both Jackie Chan or Jet Li this one is an absolute must. I highly recommend it!
