So what do you guys think about the movie, I give it a 7/10. But I was sitting in the very front row so everything was a little blurrier that usual so we were were all

the whole time. It just had a lack of something that I can't out my finger on, it just seemed a little dry.

I was actually looking forward to this movie. Because, what movie in the past actually had both Jet Li and Jackie Chan in one movie? Excuse me for what I'm about to say, but from the trailers, I kind of dropped interest because I found that the white guy was very random.. I don't know. He didn't really fit for some reason.

I thought there was an original movie, as in, in Chinese or something. I found out that this IS the original.. so I might just wait for the DVD to come out instead. But I'm definitely looking forward to other movies like Iron Man.

Jet Li and Jackie Chan are awesome, but the whole movie just seems to be a gimmick to make money. Correct me if I'm wrong, but is the movie about a kid (who happens to be white) who somehow magically ends up in ancient China, finds out an evil sorcerer/emperor is running amuck, trains/teams up with Jet and/or Jackie, and ends up saving the world?

Fight scenes were just awesome and entertaining. Definetly not in there prime but if you like Kung Fu movies def worth catching a matinee =)

yea Sun Wukong FTW!!
but seriously, forbidden kingdom distorted the story of Sun Wukong too much.

Yep, but he was in it, so I watched it

A Chinese Tall Tale, that was made a couple of years ago, warped the story too ... made it sci-fi ... but was still a great film ... Sun Wukong can fix anything lol

    Illinois is working to ban toxic food additives that have been banned for decades in other countries; additives that can be replaced and all those countries still have Skittles and Mountain Dew. Title of the piece: GUBMINT WANTS TO TAKE AWAY YOUR CANDY

    @Veho, Sounds and smells like bullshit. They don't give you cancer, and California should know that. I don't get why they stick labels that say "may or may not cause reproductive harm or cancer".

    Arsenic doesn't give you cancer either.

    I mean if a company could use AI to do the work of a home conversion for essentially free why not? The rights for some games are completely lost though
