-by Ann MarieJackie Chan and Jet Li are on the big screen together. The actors use their fast paced fighting techniques and tell the story of an ancient Chinese story in "The Forbidden Kingdom."
"The Forbidden Kingdom" tells the story of an American teenager who is highly educated in the art of martial arts. Jason Tripitikas (Michael Angarano) gets a hold of a magical staff that travels him back to ancient China. Jason learns of how the Monkey King (Jet Li) was turned into stone and by returning the staff it will break the spell. Jason meets different characters on his way to the Monkey King.
The cast mastered the art of kung fu in the movie. Li and Chan's technique was fast and high speed. These two characters worked well together on the screen. The characters also mastered the interchanging of languages throughout the movie.
Rob Minkoff directed "The Forbidden Kingdom." Minkoff's movie genres are based off children stories. He directed "The Haunted Manson", "Stuart Little", "Stuart Little 2" and "The Lion King." Minkoff stepped out of his box and attempted to create a martial arts movie. However, Minkoff did stretch out the fighting scenes between Li and Chan, making them too long.
"The Forbidden Kingdom" is recommended for martial art and Jet Li/Jackie Chan fans.
