The Forbidden Kingdom
Published by Benjamin 'Twitchy' Strack under on Saturday, May 17, 2008
Story - 0.8
Wholly unoriginal. Tradition story elements throughout without any additional thought or imagination.
Cinematography - 1.0
Also unoriginal. Shot after shot, the movie from which its been stolen can be called out. LoTR, Crouching Tiger, even The Patriot. Lack of creativity is saddening.
Acting- 1.6
This is what they built the movie around, and it shows. The sad thing is the main boy and girl were severely lacking, and it felt as if they simply didn't get the actors they wanted.
Overall Effect - 3.2
Still not a half-bad movie to sit through, especially entertaining if you're a fan of martial arts or Jet Li or Jackie Chan
Total Score:
6.6 out of 10
Recommended if looking for: Campy Martial Arts.

Ugh.
The fact that they ripped off the final shot of 'Crouching Tiger' continues to bother me.
I don't think I'll get over that.
