Pedro Henrique C The Forbidden Kingdom (2008) is a very enjoyable film to watch, it has its flaws in the script but also delivers good acting and well-choreographed fight scenes. This is the second time I've watched it and I still have the same opinion, it's an adventure full of adrenaline and fun. Rated 3/5 Stars •  Rated 3 out of 5 stars 09/23/25 Full Review Dave L I found The Fogotten Kingdom a real gem. Rated 5/5 Stars •  Rated 5 out of 5 stars 08/16/25 Full Review Tyler N Basically the Karate Kid but with Kung Fu instead of karate and not nearly as good. Not recommended unless you like mindless action (some do). Rated 2/5 Stars •  Rated 2 out of 5 stars 02/16/25 Full Review Spooky Crumbles M “The Forbidden Kingdom” is clichéd, too formulaic, and oftentimes predictable. Though the performances of Li and Chan are commendable, no amount of action is enough to save the film from its overdone ideas and overwrought execution. Rated 2/5 Stars •  Rated 2 out of 5 stars 10/23/24 Full Review SkyRo P "The Forbidden Kingdom" is an ancient Asian martial arts film that initially drew viewers in with its stunning cinematography and imaginative world-building. However, I found the film to be somewhat disappointing, riddled with numerous flaws. The script often felt clunky and difficult to navigate, leaving much to be desired. With more time and effort put into the writing process, along with feedback from others, the story could have been significantly more engaging and well-developed. Instead, it seemed hastily put together, as if the creators simply threw it together without much thought. The lead actor's performance felt forced; he seemed more like a placeholder than a fully realized character. Rather than embodying the role in a way that would captivate the audience, he appeared to be merely filling a void, which detracted from the potential of the film and its ability to launch a new franchise. His character lacked depth, which ultimately left me wanting more. While the fight scenes had their moments, they were often overshadowed by underwhelming moments that failed to deliver the excitement they promised. Overall, despite some redeeming qualities, "The Forbidden Kingdom" fell short of its potential. Rated 2/5 Stars •  Rated 2 out of 5 stars 10/21/24 Full Review alan g Very good martial arts fantasy. Jet Li and Jackie Chan make a forbidable duo with a fine supporting cast. Rated 3.5/5 Stars •  Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 09/20/24 Full Review Read all reviews
