The Forbidden Kingdom

An American teenager who is obsessed with Hong Kong cinema and kung-fu classics makes an extraordinary discovery in a Chinatown pawnshop: the legendary stick weapon of the Chinese sage and warrior, the Monkey King. With the lost relic in hand, the teenager unexpectedly finds himself traveling back to ancient China to join a crew of warriors from martial arts lore on a dangerous quest to free the imprisoned Monkey King.

My comments: If you have one of those days when you want to get away from your daily life but you don't have enough money to go out of town or leave the country, then I have a solution for you! If you have a few dollars in your pocket, then grab your car keys and go see The Forbidden Kingdom. It's a little bit like the Neverending Story for adults, drawing you away to places you have never been. The story has its flaws, but the characters get your attention and pull you into the story. Jackie Chan and Jet Li are an amazing pair--it's too bad they don't play in more movies together! (Please don't forget to vote.)

I was really excited for this movie, exactly because I was curious about the Jackie Chan-Jet Li combination. They were great, but the story was kind of a let-down for me. It was a little hard to follow, and the other characters just didn't have enough depth to make it work. It's fun to watch in any case, but pretty shallow.
