  • This movie was awesome. Better then that crappy "Never Back DowN" haha what a joke.

    Im not really into "chinese fighting movies" but this was better then avarage.

  • the kid was so weak and annoying, and he didn't grow, characteristically, AT ALL.

  • i loved this movie much more than i thought i would probably because i like all the wire fighting movie stuff so i'd give it a full price, i think i want to see it again just to see that jet li vs jackie chan fight

  • drunken prick-fu

  • Man why did they pair an ALL STAR ASIAN CASTS with some no name white kid =/

  • I can't believe this got a full price, this movie is terrible. I would have given it some ol bullshit. It was only saved from a fuck you because of the fight between li and chan. but even then a lot of that fight used wires and wasn't "real"

    Also, the dweeb white kid, I would love to beat him up, honestly.

  • terrible movie

  • I knew this was gonna be a hilarious review when I started to laugh hysterically at the picture of Jackie Chan with dread locks in the very beginning!

  • TRIPED AN FELL IN AFRICA lol.

  • DRUNKEN MASTER IS BACK

  • shia labeouf's nerdy no-chin-having younger brother AHAHAHA

  • I loved how the filmmakers involved both jackie chan and jet li, both great martial artists teaching one dude who is by the way lil scranny and kind of a wimp

  • FFS stop complaining about the white guy! The asian girl was equally unneccessary and useless and yet we ain't even heard any complaints about why she was in the movie in the first place.The white guy was clearly the most talented actor out the bunch anyways.

  • i'm srry but from the trailers and the costumes i was really expecting a martial arts epic. sadly, didnt happen, and the storyline was kinda corny. but hey, jackie and jet did kick ass though. plus that chinese girl was hot

  • this movie was the SHIT!

  • The movie was pretty good, would have been great without the annoying kid.

  • DONT INTRODUCE AMERICANS TEENAGERS WITH BADASS ASIANS!

  • nah for people who enjoyed chan and li's old movies i'm pretty sure most of us thought this movie sucked. though it was good to see jet li with more expression.

  • I wish they found 8 hidden Bruce Lee movies somewhere, You wouldn't hear a peep outta me!

  • its kinda weird seeing jet li AND jackie chan in the same movie. i mean jackie chans the funny goofy kung fu dude and jet li as the all action kick everyones ass (except for chuck norris and liam nelson) kung fu dude

  • FULL PRICE!!!

  • almost sounds like the warriors of virtue

  • @lostone13 AWWW MAN dont EEVVVEERRR compare those two

  • i loved the action in this movie lol

  • the reason i went to see this was to see jackie chan and jet li fight

  • The matchup between Li and Chan was disappointing, for me. Just 4 min of both of them not landing a hit on the other and jumping around. A lot of jumping around happened in this movie and there was barely any hard hitting contact.

  • I'm a big fan of Wu Xia PIan, but this movie juste sucked ass...

    This is the perferct example of the narrow minded american culture, they appropriate a whole gendra and adapt it for redneck hillbillies, the best example in this being that annoying kid...

    But even without that guy, this film remained way too "american".

  • i luved the movie espically the monkey king and girl with white hair WHOA shes creepy but still like her

  • this movie was pretty good, had a lot of action, pretty good acting, and a decent enough storyline. definitely a full price.

  • The Forbidden Kingdom contains plenty of action, including scenes where our heroes must face a seemingly endless stream of soldiers that get punched, kicked, and tossed in all directions... i watch it streaming online at

    EasyMediaClick (dot) com

  • This movie was aweome.And this review was hillarious.

  • lmao, "THAT'S IT, THAT'S THE PLOT!"

  • Drunken Prick Fu LMAO!

  • i thought it was a great movie, but i didn't like how the trailers made it seem like it was only going to be about jackie chan and jet li; to me that doesn't seem fair to the guy who actually was the main character. Also, i MUST say that although the movie was great, they didn't answere the BIGGEST question of the movie. Who is better, Jackie Chan, or Jet Li? What they should have done was have them fight for real then incorporate whoever won into the plot somehow. (Jackie Chan's better)

  • Lol! He said that you don't how many times I fell in woke up in Africa!

  • I had no problem with the staff transporting him...it's fantasy, a laid-back film you just enjoy not a freakin' serious science fiction film

  • Ok please please someone tell me they also had a problem with the whole falling then the staff takes him to some far away past place then at the end he came back and it was real and shit. That was so gay very dissapointing. Now the action and Jet Li and Jackie Chan in the same movie together was epic no dout. It's just when movies do that bullshit take the character to another place magicaly or whatever pisses me the fuck off. I loved the action and acting, but this movie was disapointing.

  • The story is based off the Japanese tale of The Monkey King. The story has been retold in many forms(Movies, TV, Comics, Cartoon) and been done a lot of times, But it's always told with a stranger from a far away land that comes and saves everyone Hell even Dragon Ball is based off of it. and Shaw Bros Kung fu movies are the shit! 5 Deadly Venoms anyone?

  • the Monkey King is a Chinese legend and the story's called Journey to the West.

  • that's right you tell that idiot the truth!

  • one example is dragon ball or monkey magic

  • Full price, Jackie Chan and Jet Li in the same movie fighting each other is just epic and I didn't got bothered by the more or less lame american kid story, he was kinda cool for bein' a teenager after all, heh

  • i really liked it but i think they ruined it a bit with trying to westinise the film e.g havin all the characters speak english rather then using subtitles like practically every good kung-fu film and involving the american kid.

  • lols... i was contented after watching this movie... i mean, just seeing jackie and jetli on screen together for a long time... i mean for the whole movie was worth...

    i dont blame them for making the movie centered on the boy, imagine how much will cost them having the two stars make a full length movie with only the two of them as the main characters....

  • They hired the kid because he looked like Shia. The story is the Journey To The West cliche ripoff, but it's worth watching for the crazy-awesome jackie/jet fight

  • 2:56 FUCKING HOT AS HELL!!

  • I have a question. The douchebag bully that shoots old Jackie Chan: WTF is his problem? He's just pissed off for no f*cking reason every moment he's on screen. I just couldn't wrap my mind about why he was sooooooo pissed.

  • lmao me either, but i guess the writer and director were thinking "maybe we should just make him such an ass that everybody'll hate him, give him no reason to be mad, just make him a stuck up jerk" something like that maybe, i mean there wasn't too much details about that so yeah i guess they went with him being like that instead.

  • oops my bad, i meant to give your comment a thumbs up not a down.

  • i didnt find this movie "confusing" at all

  • haha shia lebouf or ever you speel it but nerdier XD ther soooooooooooo right!

    I LOVE DRUNKEN STYLE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  • If you think Drunken Boxing (Properly known as Zui Quan) is badass, then you will LOVE Drunken Monkey Form.

  • I give this one Full Price because it's fun, classic old kung fu style movies I miss so much and they got Jet Li and Jackie Chan in one movie. Awesome stuff. I'm getting that on Blu-ray!!!!

  • havent u noticed that the guy jackie chan plays acts like a drunkin jariya i mean it and the funny thing is that i just now noticed this

  • They should redo this movie with just Jackie Chan and Jet Li doing thier thing. I mean my main reason for wanting to see the movie was for those two and was a little disappointed when it turned out to be centered around a boy in present day instead of two badasses in ancient fuedal China.

  • I mean Emperior.

  • I liked the action in this but DAMN did I hate this kid. He was literally there to avoid having to just have asian leading men in a big movie, if you ask me. His wraparound story was terribly tacked on and honestly you want to side with his bullies

  • @johnnycache At least it wasn't Shia LeBouff

  • @johnnycache Believe it or not, in the original script to Forbidden Kingdom, the kid was supposed to an american asian kid who doesn't care about his culture. It was Jackie and Jet who suggested they change it to an american white kid... why? Who knows.

  • @Christina314 they like money?

  • @johnnycache most importantly, you had the two most well known asian action stars since bruce lee playing second fiddle to him.

  • @johnnycache well said that was very true

  • @johnnycache

    I agree with you 100%. The whole time I was watching the movie I was thinking, "Why is the kid white?"

  • I DID sit awash in the glow of the wonder that was that. The kid was annoying, but I never get tired of Jackie Chan.

  • the kids from sky high

  • Me and my mom rented and loved this movie! The white boy who "cough" is supposed to be the chosen one was kind of annoying but it didn't bother me too much except when the iddiot took the staff to the Jade dude. I would have liked it better if it was just Jet Li and Jackie Chan kickin ass. Jet Li was a little underused to me.

  • the acting and dialog were terrible...

    but the action was alright...

    I'd give it a rental...

  • At first I thought the white kid would ruin the movie, and he kind of did. But then there's the whole training *cough torture cough* scene was incredibly amusing.

  • it was decent matinee

  • Hey Guys, I know dis movie is older, but how about reviewing Old Boy?

  • They'll just review the next one whne it comes out

  • Oh, da one by Spielberg? Brrrr....not looking forward to it.

  • what speilbergs remaking oldboy?

    i fucking hope not.

  • Is that Goku?!

  • i thought so too but I believe no.

  • Didn't think so.

    There's no way he could do a good acting role in one movie, and blow it in another, even though the characters are pretty much the same.

  • Its kinda sad to see all the theses actors give a 100% performance and then have wasted on bad writing.

  • i agree, this is precisely how i would sum this movie up

  • Exactly what I was thinking. Good actors, good action, good special effects, poor writing.

  • haha, man.

    Basically, I'm really only remotely interested in this movie because of Jackie Chan and Jet Li. The story and other characters...bah - seems cliche and unremarkable from what I saw in the trailers.

  • "every time i go alone into a room and grab my staff i go back into accient china"

    hilarious

  • this movie sucked...period

  • agreed

  • They didn't point out that this was based on Journey to the West.

  • The fights were brilliant, Jackie Chan was unbelievable, but all that was wasted on this shithole of a story.

    You want this movie? Read fanfiction.

    It was all advertised as Jackie Chan and Jet Lee and the white hair girl in an epic kung fu movie, but no. You watch it, and you get some asshole coming out of nowhere who by all logic the movie would have been better without. The kid is more important than Jackie Chan playing an immortal... How does that work? :)

  • but they made you watch it - so I guess they pwned you in some sense

  • Drunken Prick Fu...LoL

  • I'm not a huge fan of modern day kung fu flicks, but this was pretty awesome.

    Full Price

  • Wait aminute thats the white kid who is going to play goku in DB evolution.

  • nope

  • Im telling you it is i will find out the name tho he looks real clos tho.

  • he looks much younger than him

  • i just found out the guy in the forbidden kingdom is Michael Angarano.

    the guy in DB evolution is Justin Chatwin

  • YOur rite my frined but Now i knw what movie that Justin has been in. The invisble..... when the kid was dead but didnt pass on and there looking for his body. and all that junk.

  • I'm gonna check this movie out now. Just never got around to it.

    JOURNEY TO THE WEST FTW

  • "Drunken PrickFoo" LOL.

    Oh and by the way i thought this movie was damn good.

  • wowowowowow jackie chan and jet li your plot sounds better

  • Saw this a year ago and I thought it was pretty good its kind of like those fantasy movies back in the 80s. I like the idea of Jackie Chan and Jet Li fighting for 90 minutes and I betcha they could do that if they wanted to.

  • what i dont get in the movie is how suddenly all them chinese mutha fuckas had the ability to speak english

  • A movie with jet li and jackie chan fighting for 1.5 hours? Fuck yes!

  • I liked it but it had its flaws, I thank they should do a jade empire movie. If you don't know what that is go to wikpedia and type in jade empire.

  • Go to greatmovies[DOT]tk to watch this movie and many more for free.

  • I think the white haired girl was influenced with Sindel from Mortal Kombat.

  • incorrect

  • Idiot!The fuck do you know!

  • it's an obvious reference to Ronny Yu's Bride With White Hair... this entire movie is references back to old HK films. Watch some of them and you'll see it's obvious... Mortal Kombat copied those too... it's simple fact.

  • I see,I'm sorry for overreacting.Gonna watch those movies now,and remove the shoe out of my mouth.

  • i was quite dissapointed with this movie the fight scenes was kind slow and weak but still this movie is worth a rental

  • good movie

  • i kinda agree (no racism when i say this) the jason part made it switch to some Kiddish adventure movie... which pisses me off. And jason replaced jackie n Jet as the main characters.

  • I personally found it pretty enjoyable. And also I thought the girls were beautiful in this movie.

  • Im tired of seeing jackie chan fight all the time. I wanna see the Shinjuku Incident.

  • i give this movie a low matinee

  • I give it a low rental. The plot was cheap, and it lacked depth. But I did like the fight.

  • i like there plot better

  • I LOVE THIS MOVIE!!!!!

    fuck da haters

  • this movie really was a big let down

  • i really didn't like this movie i had high hopes for it ....

  • LOL I agree it would be a better movie if it was just jet li and jackie chan fighting for like 2 hours =]

  • im serprised jackie chan is still alive

  • that's why he's a great actor.

  • I also have to agree with something Cyrus pointed out, regarding the kid in this film looking like Shia LeBeouf. I know, right?

  • I felt this movie carried itself pretty well. The subplots were all pretty interesting, and I actuall know of the legend that this movie adheres to for its plot. Most of the plot revelations got me by surprise, but all made sense when looking back at what implied them, and in that sense, I find it to be pretty "clever" for lack of a better word. Overall, I give it a VERY high Matinee.

    Oh, and the chick with the white hair was prety cute.

  • hey fat ass lol

  • These guys are great!!!

  • isnt jackie chan 50 years old or something? he still looks like hes got alot of energy

  • he is 54

  • Awesome movie.The beginning's the only weak part.Full Price!

  • This movie was ok, but it didn't really live up to my expectations. But it was still ok.

  • Loved this movie, kind of cornball but it was still epic. I hate that they only have one guy reviewing though and the other two are just sitting there bashing a movie they haven't seen.

  • tripped and fell and woke up in africa, lol, but yea the movie suck it was the fight scenes that were hot

  • I Love It !

  • it wouldve been better if jackie and jet were at the same movie, but in a chinese movie, like Fearless

  • they are absolutely right it should have been both jackie and jet fighting each other for no other reason for 1 hour otherwise it was some o' bullshiet

  • dude jet li and jackie chan fighting for a hour and a half would be badass

  • The American Kid is a TOTAL LOSER because he had the chance to kiss Liu Yi Fei and he didn't.........LOL

  • i loved the action but the plot sucked

  • this movie kick-ass and I can't wait the dvd come out

  • ok i love the review show and by the way this movie sucks it should be an asian american kid and jackie chen should be the monskey king not for taste just becouse the personality fit

  • Can't wait to see this movie.

    Great review!

  • you can see it on youtube

  • The only problem with this movies is that it was too short for the story. They didnt develop the plot enough to be understandable(if that makes any sense XD) The nerdy kid learn Kung Fu in just a matter of... how long?? And the main character didnt have enough screen time to develop that love between Li Bing Bing which i am a big fan of... and she's hot and i want her to be my wife. XD

  • I loved the movie but anyone else feel it's very similar to TMNT 3?

  • Except that is one of the worst movies of all time

  • Decent movie...but I'd rent it. Wasn't worth paying for.

  • haha. kickass review!

  • personally if they had taking the kid/cliche nerd out of the movie and reworked without him i probably would have enjoyed this movie, but i didn't so oh well.

  • I at first thought it was going to be about some hidden kingdom that has a special treasure, but after I saw the movie I thought a more appropriate title would have been "A Kid in Sun Wu Kong's Temple." I mean the fighting was great but I didn't care as much for the old plot where the nerd gets transported back in time, fights and saves the world then comes back home and kicks ass.

  • Awesome review, I thought this movie was awesome, however the story was kinda...ehh. But yeah, the fight with Jet Li and Jackie Chan was the highlight of the movie!

    Anyway, great review 5/5*

  • i heard alot of bad things about this movie, and I already was expecting that after seeing the trailer, but is Jet Li vs Jackie Chan in a fight alone worth 8.50? YES IT IS

  • holy shit this is the best movie ive seen in a long LONG TIME!

  • I really think that kids are gonna love the story, and the grown kids like myself will also enjoy the flick for what it is.

    I was thinking NeverEnding Story when i saw it, but I still love that film too, lol.

  • This STILL isn't out in UK but judging by your review I am definitely watching it, the ending is hilarious guys! "hey faggit!" hahaha genius

  • i think it would attract more audience if it was a 'serious' movie with a strong storyline. fairy tales and ppl flying abt are becoming so old school. jackie & jet deserve better characters

  • yeah, if they just fought for an hour would have been just fine for me

  • This is a great movie if you love kungfu movies! I could have done without the stupid white kid routene but hey its an american movie and most americans dont get kungfu movies. two thumbs up!

  • Truthfully I found the movie more enjoyable partially because I grew up with the entire Monkey King Legend and all the other weird chinese legends so seeing it in movie form was a nice suprise and I can say "oooooooooohhhhhhhhh I get it." and make like an invisible reference in my head and it makes a lof of difference for me.

  • awsome flick

  • this is the best movie eva cause my 2 fav peoples r in it....i watched it and it is funny and awesome.

  • i really like you jackie chan..please mary me

  • Let's see, we can't sell a movie with legends Jet Li and Jackie Chan together for the first time in a movie, so let's get a goofy white kid, and add the implausible white-boy fantasy where he gets the beautiful Asian girl who would never in her right mind go for such a white dork, unless it's in a Hollywood movie, and that'll get people to watch it. When I first saw the trailer, saw Li and Chan mixing it up, I was interested, but then I saw the dumbass white kid in it. Why ruin a good idea?

  • yah and also funny ..

    hehehhe i rily love this movie

  • Very interesting movie. Very good fighting and story.
