Forbidden Kingdom

Yup, you guessed it right!

My extremely-addicted-to-online-games little brother suddenly told us that he wanted to watch Jackie Chan and Jet Li’s first ever movie together The Forbidden Kingdom. Even our grandma actually wanted to see it! I think she has a crush on Jet Li. But I prefer Jackie. He looks cute and funny. ^___^ Ahaha.

I’ve heard from my friend that it’s actually a “Journey to the West”-inspired film so I was joking my brother and grandma that the movie was actually just a live action of the anime DragonBall. :P It’ll be a spoiler if I told the plot here so I’ll just give out some comments about the movie.

Overall, the movie is good although I think they could have improved on it more like add more special effects or polish the storyline. It was a very fictional story by the way, with characters such as a fighting monk, a drunken kung fu master, a witch, immortals, etc. It was sort of a fairytale for kids. :P I consider it cute though. Sometimes the script is very hard to understand since most of the actors are Chinese while the script is in English. And I think it became a problem for the actors to properly project and say their lines when they can’t even understand them.

Here are some of the promotional materials of the film:

You can visit their official website too. There are lots of interesting things there. :)

I really loved the character of the witch born among wolves. Not only was the actress pretty and her costume (not to mention her long white wig) awesome, her personality amuses me too. ^_^ I think other than Jet and Jackie, she’s enjoying much attention fromĀ  movie-goers as well.

That’s about it! You gotta watch it and find out for yourself if it is a really great movie and one that’s worthwhile to watch and spend for. =P
