Forbidden Kingdom

It's my usual haunt. Wanted to watch 88 Minutes but it is no longer being shown in any of Glorietta's theaters. Good thing, The Forbidden Kingdom starring Jackie Chan and Jet Li is already being shown.


The movie is an action, comedy, fantasy film. With Jackie Chan in it, expect the movie to be hilarious. And for Jet Li, he fits his character as the Monk Soldier, quiet and strong. Reminds me of his character in Once Upon A Time In China. But, his portrayal as th e Monkey King witnesses a childlike, perky Jet Li. The scenes where Jackie Chan and Jet Li tries to outdo each other is a comedic experience (well, aside from good fight scenes).

The movie starts with Jason, an American teenager who is a big fan of Hongkong cinema and old kung-fu movies. While browsing through a Chinatown pawnshop, he discovers the stick weapon of an ancient Chinese sage and warrior, the Monkey King. The magic relic transports Jason, where he joins a band of legendary martial artists on a quest to free the imprisoned Monkey King.

After the movie, went to The Landmark to shop and check some items; then, attended the anticipated Mass. We had dinner at Super Bowl.
