Review of The Forbidden Kingdom (2008) by Billy O — 11 Dec 2011
As expected, the story is not satisfactory (and even sucks to mix to collect all traditional kung-fu and legendary movie's famous characters in a totally messy way) but still enjoyable. The action design seems quite different in style to those in previous movies of Jackie Chan and Jet Li, and it is still okay to watch except using too many wires.
Looking forward to any local Hong Kong movie to bring Jackie Chan and Jet Li together again, and I think it would be more worth watching in real kung-fu action perspective. But, in reality, who will have the budget and would like to take the financial risk to bring these two together in current weak Hong Kong local movie market?
