I saw it today. I liked it. If you like that 'kind' of movie, then nothing about this will turn you off. Think of it as a kind of a cross between Rumble in the Bronx and something maybe like Iron Monkey.
I saw it today. It was mindless entertainment for the most part. It was a cross between Narnia and Lord of the Rings with a little Karate Kid sprinkled in there. The scenes in the alley at the end were very Cobra Kai. They needed more of the Sparrow chick in there, she was georgeous.
I saw this with my grandson yesterday. I liked it but I too came away with a strong sense of DeJaVu as well. I finally figured out what it was as this movie bears a striking resemblance to this one in many ways: The Lost Empire Though there are a lot of differences it basically the same kind of movie. It evens sorta ends the same way Spoiler with the woman showing back up in the end .
I'll wait for the DVDs, because it seems to me the plot will be boring. I'll just skip over the movie and just watch the action sequences.
lol holy crap, you're right, it's like 80% the same. wow lol forbidden kingdom: movie wasn't bad, the plot is kinda played out, kid finds artifact, magical journey ensues. wait for dvd, if you're a kung fu or jet lie or jackie chan fan, go see it in theaters
