Before I even watch the movie I didn't know what to expect. The storyline was great, the action was great, the fighting was great, and the best of all the story of the monkey. I do not understand why there are some people saying they hate it or not even enough action or it is a disappointment or any negative feedback. First of all sorry I kind of take this offensive, most of the American people or all American do not know the story behind the Monkey. It is more of an Asian/Chinese story that goes way back. If you would understand the concept of what the movie is trying to set then you would understand why the movie was made. The movie was made to let people know the story behind the history of Monkey and why he was there in the first place. Overall, the movie had great fighting scenes and I totally understood the whole movie. It is a great movie to watch with your friends, date, partner, etc... You will not be upset and it is worth every penny. I would go watch it 10 times and support this movie because of the wonderful meaning and story that was told. Go watch it and think of it as a history being taught because it will make your show more enjoyable rather than society thinking that it is all about action and everything else.

Not in a long time has a fun action filled Action movie came out and one could enjoy it. I hope you don't read the comments down below of people wanting to ask for refunds or saying this is their top 10 least favorite movies, they are ignorant people who most likely spend 10 hours a day on myspace, yet alone having to post a review here that shows how well skilled in the art of writing they are. If i were you, i would go see this movie, the action is VERY well played out and the storyline is one of mythological Fantasy.

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 special effect moments, and finally a movie without cursing. Take the kids, grandparents, or a good friend. Enjoy!

I had been looking foward to this movie for months. It was horrible! I fell asleep in the first 20 mins. I wish I could get my money back!

Kinda gave me the FF feel while playing..err.. watching it. If you have played a Final Fantasy game, it is pretty much the same plot stillI found it very entertaining. I'm actually thinking of watching it again.

If you’re not a 13 year-old boy, Forbidden Kingdom was not really made for you. I understand the appeal of Jet Li and Jackie Chan, together at last, and everyone’s hopes for a harmonious combination like peanut butter and chocolate. I shared this hope, but was served something more like canned cheese with crackers. It’s not that this combination is bad, just that their pairing is framed within a feeble, pointlessly enthusiastic action film.Forbidden Kingdom has all of the good components of a classic action film, but together, these elements work against each other in a big way. The narrative is short, but not short enough. The general tone is more like a poor comic book movie than a kung fu fantasy. This may appeal to some, but dressing up in silks doesn’t make this tired thing new again.
