THE FORBIDDEN KINGDOM (2008)

well, i sorta wanna see this, if for nothing else than the teaming up of Jackie and Jet. the commercials look OK, until the overdone cg wire fu shots show up. still, i know it's a fantasy movie and perhaps it won't be overused in the movie.

i mean, those guys can do real martial arts, even at their ages with all the injuries they'd look great.

i mean, there's always gonna be slow-motion shots in martial arts movies, i know that, but do they now have to always have the camera rotate 180 or something? that's what i mean by over done.

still, it should be worth a look.

now, after seeing the first 16 minutes of this movie i sure wish i had seen in on the big screen. dang! looks like a lot of fun. i may have to buy the darn thing.

I enjoyed it, although I wish they had made it several years earlier. Nonetheless, watching Jackie and Jet do some traditional kung fu really made me smile.
