The Forbidden Kingdom
A while back I got pretty excited when I saw the trailer for The Forbidden Kingdom. I was sure this movie would spike my interest, and I can say it delivered all I was expecting. The movie was released today and instead of reading my review you should go out tonight and see it. It’s a kung-fu movie with a fun story line, predictable you might say, but still very much satisfying. Jet Li and Jackie Chan are not enemies but they do get their fair screen time fighting each other in different styles. The Forbidden Kingdom will swept you off your feet and bring you to this magical world. This young teen from Boston is a fan of kung-fu movies and spends way to much time in a pawn shop in China Town. Through very dramatic events he is thrown into an other world where his mission is to return his staff to the Monkey King of legend and end the tyranny of the an evil warlord. I feel like I want to see it again, I get that feeling only from great movies! Trailer is after the jump and pictures.
