Lots of Kung Fu & Action. Well Entertaining but pretty much Predictable.
The movie was great. Initially, we get to know where the journey will head to. It has lots and lots of Kung Fu, Action. It’s filled with beautiful scenes and compelling locations. No doubt, the journey is adventures, with a few drops of comedy. However, considering it’s predictable it’s kinda boring in the middle with way too much of Action, feels a little sleepy. Overall, it’s enjoyment, the characters played it incredibly well. Michael, Jackie and the ones on the positive side of coin were good. Recommended. 6.5/10
The NeverEnding Kung-Fu story
The Forbidden Kingdom strikes me as a Kung-Fu version of the brilliant “The NeverEnding Story” I saw as a kid in the 80’s. The parallels are obvious.Like “NeverEnding Story”, it’s a fantasy movie that tells the tale of a boy’s coming of age journey, from picked-on weakling to warrior and savior. On the way friendships are woven, difficulties are overcome, and lessons are learned. Both films cater to children audiences, but will satisfy grown-ups as well. Both bring to the table a good mixture of fantasy, action, comedy blended with a dash of romance and drama – Baked just right and garnished with magnificent special effects and stunning visuals.
The Kung-Fu battles are dazzling, and having both Jet Li and Jackie Chan sparring in this movie is just the sugar on top of the wholesome family fun.
