daworldismine Review of The Forbidden Kingdom

The Forbidden Kingdom (2008)

an enjoyable jackie chan action comedy, with added jet li to boot

[7/10 · 21 May 2012]

this is an enjoyable movie, but it isn't the masterpiece it should of been, and thats because its about 10 years too late, chans now using wires, and jet li rarely does a good movie anymore. the martial arts in this is good, but very wire fu, but its good to see jackie chan in a role similer to that of his early movies, his role could easily be wong fei hung from drunken master. and there's a couple of drunken master style fights. jet li gets to shine in the fighting department. and the fight with him and chan is a joy, if a little short. there are some good laughs here too. and chan fans should it enjoy, its better than some of his American movies, but its far from the masterpiece people expect. to jackie chan fans and jet li fans though i recommend
