The Forbidden Kingdom review

Anand reviews The Forbidden Kingdom and recommends it highly. Starring both Jackie Chan and Jet Li, it certainly appeals to avid martial arts fans.

The film has none of the high philosophy and romantic lyricism of Ang Lee’s Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon; neither does it have the dark, brutal undercurrents of films like Old Boy and Romeo Must Die. It is also not a classic kung fu chopstick film in that it does not have extended fight sequences in various kung fu styles and the standard ingredients of revenge and retribution. What it does have is good fun, great fights, and two of the biggest stars of contemporary martial arts displaying their mastery.
