RE-el-VIEW:
Forbidden Kingdom is an fantasy film with action and drama. The movie is really interesting and it has two great martial arts stars Jackie Chan and Jet Li. Action sequences and special effects for the stunts are really good, i would say stunts in this movie are usual ones not a trendsetting stunts but still it's good to watch. This movie has little surprise to Chan fans,Chan comes as old man in the beginning part of the movie and acted well as an old man.It would not be easy to recognize the Chan as old man even Li does a double role in this movie. Forbidden Kingdom is a fantasy movie so we can't expect logic linked between the scenes and at some point in the movie it make you feel bit bored later it builds up and make you feel better. This movie has been shot in few good locations and also replicates the locations which were used in 'Flying Daggers' movie.
This movie fails to give a clear narration about how the teenager gets into the ancient chinese world and also Li's double role are not clear.If you are not worried about these two things then it's an average movie to watch.The background score of the movie is too good.
"Worth Watching for Jackie Chan and Jet Li stunts...don't expect much...it's an average movie."
