I just made it home from the Forbidden kingdom - well worth the see Jackie Chan doing more drunken boxing and a serriously hot bad girl.. oh yeah, other people...and special effects!

Its a tad americanised, and a teen flick.. but yeah, still alot of fun...

PS : Bingbing Li is hot! reow!!

Shortly after I discovered "Journey to the West", I also found out that Chan and Jet Li would be participating in this visualization of the story. After doing some reading into the narrative, its key characters, and the thematic messages behind the fable, anticipation got the best of me. But I'm not going to lie: hearing about an American director adapting the legend with a modernized spin that involved a teenage Western kid was a rather high deterrent. Rightfully so; including the half humdrum / half energetic performance from Michael Angarano, they are without question the weakest elements of Forbidden Kingdom. Writer John Fusco, a martial arts enthusiast in his own right who also penned the surprisingly solid Hidalgo, has some solid concepts at play with this adaptation that fizzle out in melodramatic fashion. They're tolerable problems, but they also trip out the footing of a film with a great ancient tale lying underneath its premise and a noticeably solid dynamic between two of China's most recognizable legends

I got reviewed! meh I'll agree mostly, kinda Go in expecting a kids flick (ie simle plot) which has sold out a little (one of the cuter quotes about the merican kid from a character is "He's not even Chinese!" ) watch the special effects and the pretty..then go play exalted.
