I like the storyline of this show,it attract me so much

This movie is the proof that the world is becoming a sick and dumb place

It’s sentimental, ridiculously long and only occasionally funny

Through painfully honest and emotional moments, the movie becomes irresistibly relatable

Seldom does a film come along that one can just view with utter enjoyment. Combining two of the most fluid martial artists in the world with Jackie Chan and Jet Li is martial arts gold. The film transitions comedic dialogue with fluid movements of kung fu styles. The plot itself is a fantasy driven story of a teen from America who has an infatuation with everything Kung Fu. He comes across a magical Staff and is catapulted into another realm to find it's original owner. Along the way he learns about morality, fighting from within and being true to his inner self.The film has signs of brilliance in it's stunt choreography as well as Chinese culture. It's fantasy mixed with comedy and action/adventure. A welcome surprise to many a violent film. Think of Big Trouble In Little China and this will become a cult classic. 7/10

>> PROS It's a Martial-Arts Fantasy with great visual effects, splendid Chinese costumes and stylish Kung Fu fights. The landscapes in the film show Mother Nature in all its green glory. It is a rare film in which you will see the coming together of the great martial artists, Jet Li and Jackie Chan.>> CONS The movie offers NO Thrill or Suspense or Depth of plot and characters.The supposedly lead character of Michael Angarano is very weak and unimpressive. He is a wimpy character who does not know Kungfu even though he is supposed to be fan of martial arts.The story-line is predictable.Acting is poor & dialogues are ordinary.The coming together of Jet Li and Jackie Chan is a complete waste!It is just a "time pass", ordinary and boring picture. The watch-it-forget-it type! Not worth recommending it others.Forbidden Kingdom will be liked only by kids and teenagers.

This movie was basically a twist on an popular Chinese children's story. The children's story described the Monkey King as mad and in search for revenge for his fellow tribe mates. If you go and read or watch the story you would see a great resemblance. That movie uses a lot of events that had in fact happened in the children's tale. This movie is very good and incorporates many aspects of both the children's story and an action movie.I loved the fact that the movie was about a typical teen, turned into a hero. Although many of that karate movies that I have watched contain this, I think this is one that was well done. You wouldn't expect what happens next. It was as predictable as many karate movies are. Overall, it was an amazing movie and I would love to watch it again sometime.

Visually beautiful and well-placed touches of humor in this fun fantasy adventure quest. The main characters are charming and the action sequences are stunning. The face-off between Jackie Chan and Jet Li doesn't disappoint. Can't take your eyes off of these two titans doing what they do best. Thoroughly gripping. Jackie Chan fans will enjoy a few nods to his classic "Drunken Master," now as the teacher himself who enjoys a little too much wine. A few drunken boxing maneuvers even show up in his fight with Jet Li. Great stuff.Very pleased to see strong female characters. Women in martial arts films tend to be in subordinate roles or complaining harpies. These women have wills of their own.My only reason for giving this a 9 rather than 10 is some continuity stuff that always bugs me in any movie. Even in a fantasy I like to see certain things make sense. Like before they embark on Jason's (Michael Angarano) quest to return the staff, Lu Yan (Jackie Chan) is not interested in going because he doesn't have enough wine. But on the journey he seems to have an endless supply. When they need to escape, suddenly there are three horses. Little things like that make me nuts, when things are too convenient. Certainly nothing that ruins the enjoyment of the movie. This one is a lot of fun.
