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 Carlos T Filme: O Reino Proibido Assistido: 21-11-23 Elenco: @jetli @jackiechan @michaelangarano @yifei_cc @libingbing Modelo: #artemarcial #ação #fantasia #action Duração: 1h 44m Ano: 2008 Minha opinião: Para os amantes das porradas, sempre teve o desejo de ter visto Stallone com Schwarzenegger, Van Damme e Steve Segal, Mel Gibson e Bruce Willis e aqui na ásia e ver Jackie Chan e Jet Li. Pena que isso aconteceu muito tarde. Se este encontro fosse 15 anos antes seria tremendo. E com certeza um outro filme, não como este. O filme não é ruim, porem esta longe doque estes 2 poderiam ter feito. Pois aqui ele já estão tiozões, por isso comentei 15 anos antes. Ai estariam no auge de sua performance. Aqui temos sendo como rei do macacos que faz parte da mitologia asiática. Por exemplo o Deus Macaco é o mesmo da estoria do Gokun do Dragon Ball. Aqui temos o inimigo Jade que transforma em estatuo o Rei Macaco (Jet Li), mas antes ele envia seu bastão encantado que deve encontrar uma alma honrada, mas para isso se passam séculos. Até os dias de hoje, Jason que é viciado em filme de Kung-Fu e sempre aluga na loja do velho Lu-Yan (chan). Jason é forçado a assaltar a loja Lu Yan e encontra o bastão que o envia ao passado na China. E lá ele encontra Lu-Yan jovem mestre que vive bêbado e nesta jornada também cruza com Goldem (Yifei) e em um encontro tribulado com lutas. E em mundo agora dominado pelo vilão Jade. E nisso cruzam com outro mestre Jet Li. Que começam a disutar quem será o mestre de Jason. E entre o empace dos 2 e os capangas de Jade. Temos várias cenas de lutas até chegar ao confronto final. Com boas cenas de CGI e reviravoltas. Roteiro e enredo bons. Mas poderiam ter aproveitados muito mais Jackie e Jet. Vale apena assistir? Sim Nota: 8 Rated 4/5 Stars •  Rated 4 out of 5 stars 02/13/24 Full Review MURPH M It is FUN....with just enough sentimental schmaltz to bring a grin to one's face. The story is a well considered eastern fairy tale. Chan is terrific (playing himself as always, but that is just what I was looking for) and the use of his character as the linch pin in the plot works. And, to my great, and pleasant surprise, Angarano does a fine job with a believable transformation from patsy to hero one his better efforts. I am putting it on my lift of films worth rewatching when looking a distraction.
