Format:DVD
A movie with Jackie Chan and Jet Li is a mouth watering prospect to me, so to hear that this was to be released was great news.
The Forbidden Kingdom is the story of Jason, who lives an ordinary life in South Boston. Jason loves his kung fu flicks, and after awakening from a dream of The Monkey King (Jet Li) finds his life starts to turn upside down.
Michael Angorano plays Jason very well, his character development is fun to watch and the characters he meets are all manner of weird and wonderful.
There are numerous homages to old kung fu heroes and kung fu movies throughout the film and this alone warrants another viewing.
Jet Li is brilliant as The Monkey King (and as another character - The Silent Monk) - great humour. Jackie Chan is as funny as ever as The Drunken Immortal and there is a great supporting cast of immortals/mortals to enjoy.
The action is fantastic, some great fight scenes, some wonderful battle sequences and an intruiging and great story to go with it.
This is a wonderfully made, well thought out action/fantasy film. Not too taxing on the brain, great to watch, beautifully directed and some great acting - all in all this is a lot more than a kung fu flick and is highly reccommended.

Jackie Chan makes a great drunken mystic, and Jet Li is as good as ever in this very entertaining film. The setpieces are great and there are quite a few good laughs involved in this movie. It is aimed at kids, but it's still good fun and well worth watching.

Format:Blu-ray
Both Jackie Chan,and Jet Li seem to delight in the banter between themselves,as well as the tongue in cheek references to the fighting styles advocated in various branches of Kung Fu.
The action sequences are stunning,and for once the wire work merely adds to the fun and enjoyment.
The Picture Quality is excellent.
Thoroughly recommended.

No Chinese at all on the disk, though according to the description on amazon and on the disk Chinese Mandarin should be there.

Worth to watch it again.
Despite the maturity of the two leading actors, their performances are satisfactory and the the younger ones are beyond expectation. Read more
