The Forbidden Kingdom Reviews

The forbidden kingdom is an Oriental variation of Western fairy tales. It starts off with a boy in Boston who gets possession of a magic pole. He get transported to China where he has to return the pole to its rightful owner. This might sound very simplistic and trite - but additional characters seen on the boy's journey help the storyline and make it interesting. There is the drunken poet played wonderfully by Jackie Chan , the monk played by Jet Li and the girl known as Golden Sparrow. The action sequences are great as they normally are for Chinese movies - however at the same time it doesn't ever lose its sense of humor along the way. The fight between Jackie Chan and Jet Li is a classic one. Overall this movie has all the right ingredients that should appeal to the avid kung-fu fan and also the casual movie goer.
