Seems like i have got a little happening at the wrong time... following yesterday's weeding solemnization, forbidden kingdom was up today.

Basically, this movie was more un-forbidden than forbidden. The story seems more like a fairy tale / dream sequence, featuring a mish-mash of characters from chinese folklore. Bilingual heroes, jokes based on word play, pretty faces all contribute to a nicey film. Action sequences were great (of course, with the double-J combination renowned choreographer Yuen Wo Ping, things can't go wrong). Pleasing the fans further was a big time one-on-one fight between the J masters. In all, a great popcorn film, but not a legendary film one would expect, given the J-J pairing.
