The Forbidden Kingdom

This movie was directed by Rob Minkoff and is an action, comedy, fantasy and adventure movie. The movie stars Jet Li (The Monkey King/The Silent Monk), Jackie Chan (Lu Yan/Old Hop), Michael Angarano (Jason Tripitikas) and others. The idea of the movie was that a teenager living in Boston Jason Tripitikas finds a special discovery that leads him onto a magical adventure to China to free the imprisoned Money King warrior. This movie was quite hard to follow for me because the magical realm and possibilities that unfolds within the story. Maybe it was just me but I thought the movie was a bit cheesy with all the warrior heroics and fantasy powers. I guess I mean to say this movie definitely comes from Hollywood not real life. The movie was much like a cross from a magic type like Lord of the Rings or Harry Potter and the Karate Kid I thought. So If that is your style I think you will like this because of the different powers the characters have and the mystery of what could possibly happen in the magical world Jason finds. So I think if you are into magic stuff and martial arts you might like this movie but for me I found that it was nothing I related to, kind of predictable and silly but perhaps I could be wrong depending upon your interests.
