The Forbidden Kingdom

#1 Postby HURAKAN » Fri Apr 18, 2008 6:03 pm

It opened today in the US and it has as its main actors Jet Lee and Jackie Chan. Therefore, it must be a really good movie. I won't see it this weekend as I have two finals on Monday and two on Wednesday.

What do you think?

I really want to see that. Two of my favorite actors, and I love kung fu movies. Looks excellent.

From what I've seen, this actually looks like a decent film. That makes us lucky, considering it has Chan and Lee. I probably won't see it, but for those want to, I'd say go.

I saw the movie yesterday with my sister. The movie is a typical Jackie Chan or Jet Li movie with a lot of kung-fu action. It also has some funny scenes, but kung-fu dominates. The story in which the movie is based makes it a family movie. Great movie overall that anyone that sees it will enjoy.
