DVD Reviews of The Forbidden Kingdom (Two-Disc Special Edition + Digital Copy)
DVD Review: From J. Kaye's Book Blog
Summary: 4 Stars
American teenager, obsessed with kungfu classics movies, is a serious social wart. When he's caught in the middle of a robbery, he's transported back to ancient China and finds he is the key to reuniting a legendary relic with its rightful owner.
For serious Jet Li and Jackie Chan fans, this will be a fun movie. It's a little hokey, and the stunts weren't as good as we've come to expect, But all-in-all, it was a fun movie for the family.

I really enjoyed this movie, I ordered it because I enjoy Jackie Chan, but I like Jet Li very much now too, I had never heard of him. He's great!DVD Review: good martial arts action
Summary: 5 Stars
the combinations of jet li and jackie chan make for some good martial arts action.i am a fan of both and was very satisfied with the movie.DVD Review: no surprises here-but still good fun
Summary: 4 Stars
The long awaited teaming of Jackie Chan and Jet Li did not disappoint.
Great action,great fight scene between the two stars,excellent humor, and no problems with ego.
the story line is very formulated and there are no surprises-but that doesn't mean you should pass this film.
excellent sound quality on your home theater and a definite must for martial arts fans.
DVD Review: Forbidden Kingdom
Summary: 3 Stars
Good Jet Li/Jackie Chan movie. Not GREAT, but good. Could have been a lot more, with these two action stars, but I think it was too commercialized. Worth while buy, but didn't quite meet all my expectations.
Description of The Forbidden Kingdom (Two-Disc Special Edition + Digital Copy)
Studio: Lions Gate Home Ent. Release Date: 09/09/2008 Run time: 104 minutes Rating: Pg13Getting martial-arts superstars Jet Li and Jackie Chan together in the same action film is like a fantasy come true, even if The Forbidden Kingdom is more of a children's movie than an instant kung-fu classic. Yes, Li and Chan square off in a lengthy, acrobatic fight scene that is a lot of fun, though it can't be what such a scene might have been even a decade ago: careful editing now compensates for the 54-year-old Chan's slower moves and reflexes. Still, Chan doesn't disappoint as Lu Yan, a drunken immortal in ancient China who mentors a modern-day American kid, Jason (Michael Angarano), the latter having slipped into the past while in possession of a magical staff that belongs to the imprisoned Monkey King (Li). In order to get back to his own time and help an old friend (also Chan) wounded by thugs, Jason accompanies Lu Yan and a lovely warrior, Golden Sparrow (Liu Yifei), on a journey to return the staff. Along the way, a (mostly) silent monk (Li, again), who has spent his life in search of the staff, joins their mission. He helps Lu Yan train Jason in fighting and adding more muscle to the party as it comes under siege from a violent witch (Li Bing Bing) and pathological warlord (Collin Chou). Screenwriter John Fusco (Hidalgo) and director Rob Minkoff (The Haunted Mansion) have made a slightly chintzy, Western version of a Chinese swords-and-sorcery tale. The gravity-defying, flying-through-the-air-while-fighting choreography looks pretty choppy and graceless compared to, say, the martial arts films of Zhang Yimou. But The Forbidden Kingdom is really aimed at kids, not aficionados of epic fight movies. On that score, the movie aims to please and does so for the right audience. -- Tom Keogh
