- Definitely for a younger audience ...I love me some Crouching Tiger-ish Kung Fu movies. I've had my eye on The Forbidden Kingdom since it came out, considering the film teamed up Jet Li AND Jackie Chan- two favs for me!- in a fantasy type period piece.
I, for one, wasn't disappointed although, because it seems to be targeting a younger audience doesn't hit the caliber of some other recent martial arts films to hit the theaters.
The story begins with a young boy named Jason who dreams of Kung Fu epic battles ... Read More

- The Forbidden KingdomA nice light fantasy adventure movie with some Kung Fu fighting thrown in as well. This is not meant to be a serious kick tail Kung Fu movie. If you thought that you will be disappointed. It is much more serious than "Karate Kid", but it has a fair amount of humor thrown in initially. It is meant to be a movie the family can enjoy and they will. A nice mix of modern and ancient with East meets West. Good casting with Michael Angarano as the Jersey American thrown into the past, where he meets three ... Read More

- Below Average Kung Fu Movie!I saw this movie couple times and both DVD and in the theatre. On average, this movie is below any kung Fu Movie either from China, Hong Kong or even Kung Fu Panda! Let me explain.
1. The main character Jason - the American kid he might be a teen ager, neither he is cute or handsome. I don;t why the director chose this guy, from the beginning to the end of the movie, I didn't see anything sparkling about him.
2. The basic color or tone of this movie looks like a old 60's or 70's style. ... Read More

- Rent it for the Jet/Jackie fight......nothing else.First, let me say that even among movies like the Wizard of Oz and The Neverending Story, and the Narnias where the kids must go from the real world into the fantasy world in order to save that world and become more mature...this movie sucks. It's even worse as a kung fu movie.
That two masters of the craft such as Jet Li and Jackie Chan would pick this as their first movie to do together tells me they didn't understand the English script too well. Even Yuen-Woo Ping's fight choreography ... Read More

- Martial Arts Fairy Tale Come To LifeA 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!
