About this movie

Individually, they've starred in the most adrenaline-pumping martial-arts adventures ever. Together for the first time, Jet Li and Jackie Chan join forces to create the greatest epic of them all - THE FORBIDDEN KINGDOM. As ancient Chinese warriors, they must train and mentor a 21st century kung-fu fanatic who's been summoned to fight a centuries-old battle and free the imprisoned Monkey King.

Ratings and reviews

For years I've waited for Jackie Chan and Jet Li to get together. Yet somehow I felt it was a bit late. Neither were at their prime when this movie was made. Chan already made his mark after bringing some of his works to America and starring in Rush Hour. But Li had trouble finding his place in the movie space. Still, you kinda knew that these two will make a movie together. The two martial arts superstars reprise their best screen characteristics for a unique movie set in the Journey to the West universe. It's a great movie for the family.

Clever puns and hint make it funny at times... More like a karate kid meets never ending story but with out The creepy flying dog and weird characters. "When this is over, then we can kill each other".. Lol.. Two of my altime favs together..dream come true.

I should be able to take it off my phone and put it on any device I choose, SINCE I PAID FOR IT!!!! But apparently Google formats it a certain way so you can't. It is a really awesome movie though.
