The Forbidden Kingdom Review Summary
"Jackie Chan and Jet Li together as exciting as it sounds." While Forbidden Kingdom may not have the writing behind it that
Crouching Tiger Hidden Dragon does, reviewers just couldn't overlook the entertainment provided by two martial arts legends, such as Chan and Li. Even though they aren't as young as they used to be, they are still amazing to watch, with some comparing watching them in
Forbidden Kingdom to watching a ballerina or ballroom dancer. Michael Angarano plays a young man that "joins forces" with Chan and Li to "free their imprisoned king." Not as intense as as Li's other movies, and not "as funny as some of Jackie Chan's" films,
Forbidden Kingdom was a "good blend of the two," making it a "fun, family-friendly film with a message of hope."
