User Reviews for The Forbidden Kingdom

This is a fun movie with some of the best martial arts/Hong Kong highwire that I have seen in some time. I never "loved" Jet Li, but I always admired his Kung Fu-in this movie I felt a bit more like that affection for him that I and most of the world have for Jackie Chan. He gets to play several characters but I just felt like roaring when he put his Monkey King thing in action! His portrayal of the Immortal Monkey King just gave me big smiles. I'm not sure why Jackie was not given the part since The Monkey King should be Jackie's middle name. Maybe its too obvious a choice. Anyway, I agree with the other reviewer, this one gets a bit much violence for young kids under twelve? and takes an awkward teen romance ride that left my stomach churning (or it could have been the twizzlers and coffee, dunno). I think everyone in the theater I was at genuinely enjoyed this one, I certainly did.
Pros: Jet Li, Jackie Chan, Dim Sum of Chinese culture in this retelling of the Monkey King tale
Cons: Teen romance aka Karate Kid 2-like is a grind IMO.

I Can't give it Five stars , but i loved it.I am Into Martial Arst Also and I love it when a movie is filmed and you can clearely see the Fight scenes.These guy's r no joke ....ther r the real deal.The movie had a Karate Kid type feel to it... The only reason I can't give it Five Stars is because I thought the Monkey character was a little childish for some adults and the killing of some people may be too violent for some kids. Even though I am takeing the middle ground on who should watch the Movie ,it was one of the better movie I have seen this Year.
Pros: Clear Fight scenes
Cons: I have a mixed opinion... u decide

This is my first message and it won't be the last. Anyway to get to the point. This movie was the shizznit!! I'm a big martial arts fan and I've seen some really great kung fu movies and this one ranks as one of the best I've ever seen. It startes slow but it builds very fast. Jacki Chan is a master and Jet Li is his match in every way. What really makes this movie great is the fact that you have the two of the greatest Martial Artist ever fighting in the same movie and on the same side. A major sceen to look out for is when the two square off. This is such a hot sceen I wanted to rewinde it and watch it again. This is a classic!! And I mean classic as in Chuck Norris and Bruce Lee. And that's saying a lot. And if you don't know what movie I'm talking about check out Return Of The Dragon Staring Bruce Lee. And you can compare the two great fighting sceens your self and I promise you won't be disappointed.
Pros: Jett and Jackie Carried this movie
Cons: Shila Labouf should have played the part of the kid with the staf.
