The Forbidden Kingdom


It's been awhile since I've seen a good chop flick . Jackie Chan and Jet Li made a great duo in this film . It had everything you come to expect from a martial arts movie Mantis ,Tiger and Drunken styles of kung-fu , also that curious Chinese ability to fly through trees . The plot is simple enough . A martial arts fable centered around a boy ( Micheal Angarno ) who must return a magical staff to its rightful owner The Monkey King ( Jet Li ) , and thus save the kingdom from the tyrannical rule of an evil warlord . Along the way he's aided by a drunk ( Jackie Chan ) , and a young peasant girl (Collin Chou ) , and a monk also played by Jet Li . In fact the only thing i didn't enjoy about the whole movie experience was the drunk at the back who couldn't keep his big mouth shut , or the guy a few rows down who kept telling him to shut up .
