Very interesting with loads of action and awesome moves, of course, from the one and only Jackie Chan.

Way too many kung foo fight scenes for me. If you like that, you'll love the movie. Liked the dedicated friendship idea though.

Because I love Jackie Chan, he is better actor in the world.

A really enjoyable experience! Both my wife and I give thumbs up all the way! I'm not really a martial arts fan, but this movie was imaginative, the setting was beautiful, the pace was exciting, the humour was delightful, and the music was memorable. I look forward to a sequel.

Dialogue and story were very poor. Mythology was interesting but the movie showed it in a disgraceful manner. People didn't act naturally in the movie. Very disapointing.

| 10/10 | hot_boy.furqan@ - 19 reviews 27.7.2008 - age: 13-17 |
This movie was pretty cool, I'm not into movies like this but the husband made me watch and I actually did not fall asleep, some funny parts as well. Loved it!!!
| 10/10 | crowned_baby_girl@ - first review 26.7.2008 - age: 18-25 |
It's a great movie. Jet Li and Jackie Chan are great in it.
| 10/10 | cesina27@ - 5 reviews 14.7.2008 - age: 13-17 |
I enjoyed the movie. Good action scenes. Love the fighting between Jet Li and Jackie Chan.
| 8/10 | cenarock54@ - 42 reviews 13.7.2008 - age: 18-25 |
A nice popcorn fantasy movie for the martial arts fan. It is a movie that allows you the opportunity to shut your mind off and just take in the story without having to think too much about anything.
| 7/10 | paulleslie12@ - 404 reviews 29.6.2008 - age: 26-35 |
Not worth seeing in theatres but good movie. Kind of a cross between the Karate Kid and Crouching Tiger Hidden Dragon.
| 7/10 | soccer_goalie1@ - 29 reviews 29.6.2008 - age: 13-17 |
All the character's were good, hey mentioned Jackie can and jet li. But what ruined it was that they didn't mention the other guy who wasn't mentioned in the trailer.
| 5/10 | h3g3h@ - first review 22.6.2008 - age: 36-49 |
What can I say about a movie that makes me happy by being magical and has all my attention. Jackie Chan is wonderful in his role, and hopefully he lives through it. Great movie!!! You absolutely have to see it or you will miss something great.
| 10/10 | ladalia@ - 30 reviews 22.6.2008 - age: 50+ |
Entertaining movie that was better than I expected, especially compared to Jackie Chan's previous offerings. The story line was a bit lame but the action made up for it.
| 8/10 | rp2209@ - 68 reviews 20.6.2008 - age: 36-49 |
Awesome!! Absolutely awesome a must see! People should watch it and its awesome with Jakie Chan and Jet Li.
| 10/10 | paulalen_1@ - first review 16.6.2008 - age: 13-17 |
Great movie, a must see! When else would you get a film that has Jet Li and Jackie Chan in it.
| 10/10 | triplem_thegame2002@ - first review 15.6.2008 - age: 18-25 |
So bad it was funny - completely unintentionally and not in a good way. It sucked more than any movie I've seen in a very long time. People were getting up and walking out of the theatre. I'm not sure why we didn't.
| 3/10 | paula_watkin@ - first review 14.6.2008 - age: 26-35 |
I just want to say that this is the worst movie i've seen in a long time. I can definitely see why people think this movie is bad. Very few jokes, predictable plot and not very good acting coming especially from jet li.
| 10/10 | ocean_goes_crazy@ - first review 7.6.2008 - age: 13-17 |
It's very bad when it switch from chinese to english, it just doesn't match.
| 4/10 | harristse@ - first review 6.6.2008 - age: 13-17 |
It was so so so so good. It was even better then NARNIA. You should see it.
| 10/10 | arastou_canadian@ - 2 reviews 26.5.2008 - age: 1-12 |
Real great they should get part two. Cause watch two of the best movie actors is good thing to do and you it that combining these two u can expect a lot of action in thier movie.
| 10/10 | asheka@ - first review 25.5.2008 - age: 18-25 |
Loved Jackie Chan and Jet Li all in the same movie wow. /great action all around.
| 9/10 | didi@ - 201 reviews 25.5.2008 - age: 36-49 |
The fighting scenes were great. The plot was pretty good, although for the parts were too contrived. Overall it was a good movie.
| 8/10 | yunasonatagmail.com@ - 6 reviews 25.5.2008 - age: 13-17 |
The legends of kung fu movie actors are together at last. It was quite entertaining to see them fight. The only bad thing about the movie was Jet Li's speech. Jackie Chan rocked in the movie!
| 8/10 | cha43@ - 3 reviews 24.5.2008 - age: 18-25 |
The movie was amazing! Jackie chang and jet lj. There were boring moments but in general it was captivating! I couldn't take my eyes off the screen or take a bite of popcorn because it was so funny and if you like sword fighting go watch forbidden kingdom and trust me your money wont go to waste. I would definitely recommend this to all teenagers and up. If you have a chance go see forbidden kingdom and you will be laughing you head off.
| 7/10 | kraig94@ - first review 22.5.2008 - age: 13-17 |
This film is made for Kung-fu movie fan and whose practice any martial art. Jackie Chan is too much in DRUNKEN MONK and Jet Li is fabulous with he's internal energy. So Jackie he's my favorite.
| 10/10 | burnparadise@ - first review 21.5.2008 - age: 26-35 |
I really liked the movie, it was very good and funny. I would want to see it again!
| 9/10 | kittykittygirl@ - 2 reviews 19.5.2008 - age: 1-12 |
I like this movie and my wife too. This movie has good fighting scenes, humor & special effects. It was good to see both Jays (Jet Li & Jackie Chan) together. If you like martial arts then you will certainly enjoy this movie.
| 8/10 | asim_@ - 4 reviews 19.5.2008 - age: 26-35 |
It's so good u will wanna watch billions of times because of all the kung fu and action.
| 10/10 | brandon_he_he@ - first review 19.5.2008 - age: 1-12 |
Interesting coming of age story. Very fantasy genre, excellent hair and costumes - great to see Jackie Chan and Jet Li together!
| 7/10 | indigomoonlight2@ - 18 reviews 18.5.2008 - age: 18-25 |
Horrible... you people all have horrible taste. Its worst than Kung POW enter the fist... a tupid money guy is in the movie... rent it... but thats still wasting your money... and I like karate movies.
| 1/10 | bobdole@ - first review 18.5.2008 - age: 26-35 |
A must see of chinese kongfu movie! Highly recommended!
| 9/10 | vivgp0912@ - 15 reviews 18.5.2008 - age: 18-25 |
I thought this movie was great. I'm a total fantasy lover so this was perfect for me. I mean the martial arts was cool and Jackie Chan and Jet Li are a great pair. I also loved the comedy in it. The movie is great if you want to have a few laughs and watch action sequences.
| 9/10 | kitty_n92@ - 5 reviews 17.5.2008 - age: 13-17 |
I personally really liked this movie, no matter what other ppl say. This was packed with action and very fun to watch. I am Chinese and knew the original story from a long long time ago and it was very exciting to see the new version of this terrific movie. Very beautiful story line.
| 10/10 | minniecui01@ - 2 reviews 12.5.2008 - age: 18-25 |
I'm a big fan of kung-fu movies and I must admit that this whole "Hollywood touch" (i.e."let's make sure that the mainstream audience can relate") pisses me off... I think that Michael Angarano's part is useless. Besides, what's the wannabe John Travolta's part played by the bully? Although the fighting scenes are good ones, there was no fluidity in the moves. Without being told, you can guess that Yuen Woo-Ping is behind the fighting scenes and I think that it's too obvious that these are part of a choreography. It's like watching people dancing.
| 6/10 | havah350@ - 53 reviews 11.5.2008 - age: 26-35 |
Sad, sad, sad. The cliché-ridden dialogue, mindlessly predictable plot lines, and cheesy special effects make the audience want to throw round-house kicks at the movie producers. Jackie Chan and Jet Li together in a martial arts flick sounded so promising (and the three or four odd fight scenes were terrific!) But there was so much bland filler in-between. It’s the movie director who should be "forbidden."
| 4/10 | syuzark@ - 13 reviews 11.5.2008 - age: 26-35 |
Great fighting scenes as expected. This is where my mediocre rating number came from. Ensure you go into the movie expecting a lot of wire work though. Also go there expecting a cheesy plot.
| 6/10 | tumuerte@ - 8 reviews 11.5.2008 - age: 26-35 |
I was not expecting this kind of movie, I wanted a Jackie Chan and Jet Li action flix, not skinny white boy's journey to "discover" himself. At times it was good, I enjoyed the plot, the fight scenes, though some of the characters were off, namely one, the skinny white boy. I have nothing against white, as I am one, though kung fu movies is not were they belong.
| 6/10 | crazy_monkey_5001@ - 2 reviews 10.5.2008 - age: 13-17 |
Enjoyed the movie until the end. A must see. 2 Great actors.
| 10/10 | manelfern@ - 9 reviews 9.5.2008 - age: 26-35 |
Worst movie ever!!!"the gate of no gates"? Wth? I would not waste my time or money... I should have left 5 minutes into it. All people who I went with agreed it was the worst movie we have ever seen!!!
| 1/10 | swight4@ - 2 reviews 9.5.2008 - age: 18-25 - One reply |
I was bored, almost from the start. A slow moving uninspired kung fu tale with very few interesting aspects. Although I did like the witch.
| 5/10 | kramaj1ca@ - 59 reviews 8.5.2008 - age: 36-49 |
I thought it was a mediocre film I don't know if it was intended to be old time kung fu movie because most of the movie was just pointless kung fu that didn't make sense.
| 6/10 | robert.gauthier15@ - first review 7.5.2008 - age: 13-17 |
At first while watching the movie I thought it was hocki. After getting more into the movie I enjoyed it. I enjoy action martial arts as my husband enjoys watching them so I've gotten into them as well. I enjoyed the movie and glad I went to see it. Jet Li and Jackie Chan showed they still had the moves and training a young boy the arts. Kind of reminded me of the karate kid movies and the training process of a new student.
| 7/10 | heather@ - 8 reviews 6.5.2008 - age: 36-49 |
Good martial arts, but cheesy storyline, some slapstick moments.
| 7/10 | ddarling@ - 46 reviews 6.5.2008 - age: 36-49 |
The movie The Forbidden Kingdom was very entertaining. Though it had a boring beginning. The performance was a great. I liked the element of magic. I recommend this movie to anybody who loves martial arts! Go see it! [...]
| 10/10 | k.josh@ - first review 6.5.2008 - age: 13-17 |
The movie The Forbidden Kingdom starring Jackie Chan and Jet Li was an amazing movie. The film was great and the story kept you up and awake. The animation , acting , story , it was all amazing. Seeing Jackie Chan and Jet Li together for the first time was a exciting. Both martial artists made super fighting scenes. It was not a very bloody , gory , or scary movie. It was good for all ages so if you have not seen it go now!
| 9/10 | fishcowdugong@ - first review 6.5.2008 - age: 13-17 |
The movie was exceptional, however it wasn't my type of movie. The martial arts was a bit to much for me. The story was kind of confusing. I think it was good. Its had its funny moments that were random. Jackie Chan and Jet Li were amazing. I recommend this movie to those individuals who like action.
| 6/10 | koolgirl93_95@ - first review 6.5.2008 - age: 13-17 |
The Forbidden Kingdom is a good movie, because it has incredible choreography. The martial art is spectacular. It has a good magical story. It's good for the adventure and dreamer in everyone. It was fascinating! Jackie Chan and Jet Li were fit for their roles. I certainly recommend this movie to everyone! [...]
