If you want to be entertained, go see this movie. Don't go into this movie judging it for what it wasn't intended to be, but rather for what it is, entertainment. Lots of action, comedy, great speci... al effect moments, and finally a movie without cursing. Take the kids, grandparents, or a good friend. Enjoy! Full Review
I loved the Forbidden Kingdom. It was a well-crafted blend of a modern setting with an ancient tale. Jackie Chan and Jet Li were masterful in their fight scenes. The scenery and cinematography were... breath taking. All of the elements blended together beautifully to make a compelling story, exciting fight scenes and an ancient tale brought to life and completion in our era. Thank you for making this film!
