My Movie Review: The Forbidden Kingdom




This movie is a landmark event in the mere fact that it brings together two living legends of martial arts movies. Jackie Chan and Jet Li!

Kung-Fu fanatics everywhere will surely be delighted to see these two go against each onscreen. Obviously, their fight against each other will only be temporary as both are portraying good guys, which is typical for most movies having two stars sharing equal footing.

I was impressed by the tight choreography of the fight scenes between Jackie and Jet. Jackie Chan got to reprise his "drunken master" fighting style. The part where they show off different fighting styles was a thrill to see as well. Jet Li used the "praying mantis" style while Jackie Chan used the "tiger claw" to counter.

The whole movie can be enjoyed by the entire family as there isn't any observable bloodshed or even a kissing scene. I'm actually thinking of watching it again later since you don't get to see these two guys in a movie together. :D

My Rating: 4/5
