The Forbidden Kingdom
In “The Forbidden Kingdom”, martial arts stars Jackie Chan and Jet Li come together for the first time on screen in this latest offering from animator-turned-director, Rob Minkoff.
Legend has it that in ancient China, the Jade Warlord, imprisoned the powerful Monkey King; thus, ensuring his reign. The source of the Monkey King’s power, his golden staff, was banished to another dimension. That dimension just happens to be a Chinese pawn shop in South Boston.
Kung fu movie geek Jason Tripitkas, rents martial arts DVDs from Old Hop, pawn shop owner. Though versed in the way of kung fu movies, Jason has no martial arts skills. In his escape from young thugs, Jason comes to possess the golden staff of the Monkey King, and stumbles into a time portal to ancient China, and the land of the legendary Immortals.
In ancient china, Jason befriends a drunken kung fu master, comically portrayed by Jackie Chan. A silent monk, played by Jet Li, and an orphaned girl, who refers to herself in the 3rd person. Together the foursome must travel to return the Golden Staff to the Monkey King.
Whilst the fight scenes are impressive, and the colourful cinematography breathtaking, this film is sadly let down by the obvious Hollywood trick of trying to make as much money from as little as possible, and somehow i think they will succeed.
If you aren’t huge fan of kung fu movies, you may find this an enjoyable fantasy, however i expect true fans of this genre will come away extremely disappointed, despite the pairing of two legends.
=D> =D> =D> I’ll give it three points, one each for Jackie Chan, Jet Li and the fight scenes, as they are the only things worth watching in this entire film.
The Moody Blues – Nights in White satin Another all time fave. 8)
Animals – The House Of The Rising Sun One of my all time fave 60’s songs.
I have missed your novella’s Sgt :wink: :lol: . Great review as always. :D

No they either get aborted, or shoved into a home until someone decides to adopt them. Cat’s can look after themselves, babies and children can’t, think about that. :)
