I saw the movie "Forbidden Kingdom" today, and I'm glad I did. I need a really good incentive to go out and see a movie in the theaters now a days. But, I couldn't pass up on this movie. It has both Jackie Chan, Jet Li, and hot Asian women like her:

When she first popped onto the screen I was a little disappointed she wasn't using a sword. She was using the cliche whip as her choice of weapon. What's with so female fighters in movies, comic books, games, etc. using whips anyhow?

Ya, I get it. Female fighters have whips because it makes them look both scary and sexy (think dominatrix) at the same time. But, enough is enough already! :cry:

The fight scenes were something watch. Jackie Chan and Jet Li, of course, fought. Otherwise, if they hadn't, it would've been a waste of 15 bucks to see the movie. I was amazed at how fast these guys still are. They're both past middle age and they can seemingly pull off moves, maneuvers, and stunts very easily. I'm pretty sure those two were hurtin after each night of filming. As for the story, it was "meh". The costume designs, fight scenes, and the cinematography helped forget about that though. Overall it was a good film. It was definetly worth the time and money to see Li and Chan swing at each other.
