Think action, think campy, think chipper with the slightest underlining drama. That is basically what you get here with The Forbidden Kingdom.
Most films with that genetic Hollywood make-up stumble into a overly sappy, buddy-picture lameness, but instead The Forbidden Kingdom stands strong actually. See where other films lay the campy-ness on thick, TFK makes sure it doesn't go too far, and of course it has that Chinese, Hong Kong trademarked action fight scenes that are fun to watch.
Although this isn't the Jet Li, Jackie Chan movie we were expecting, TFK is sure to please and surprise most movie-goer's.
