The Forbidden Kingdom


The Forbidden Kingdom is the first movie that Jet Li and Jacki Chan have made together. Jet Li is in his 40's and Jacki Chan is in his 50's but it is hard to tell with all of the amazing martial art that they do in this movie. Although the plot line is a little cheesy, the movie acknowledges it. It does not take itself too seriously and both Jacki Chan and Jet Li have some pretty funny lines. There is a plot, but lets face it, when you go to a movie like this you are not looking for an amazing plot you are looking for some sweet action sequences and this movie definitely provides them. At times it does feel seem like the plot is looking for one more reason for some more crazy martial art fights. But would you expect any less from a movie with Jet Li and Jacki Chan? Overall it is a great movie if you like exciting martial art action sequences with some humor in the mix. I give it a 6/10.
