If you REALLY wanna see a crap Jackie Chan or Jet Li movie, watch "The Medallion" or "The One" respectively... and yes, I paid to see both opening night -_- It's not really fair to compare it against "Wong Fei Hung"... though they're both martial arts flicks, they're different genres, with "Wong Fei Hung" being a historical drama and "Forbidden Kingdom" being a comedic fantasy adventure... a better comparison would be "A Chinese Ghost Story" or the like Off-topic, but does anyone know why the girl consistantly spoke in the third-person? haha… haters…

It has a nerdy white guy as the lead who gets with the Chinese girl. Totall Hollywood propoganda. Even Jackie Chan warned his fans that this movie would suck: http://www.beyondhollywood.com/jackie-chan-and-jet-li-thinks-the-forbidden-kingdom-will-suck/ You know it's bad when the star badmouths the movie. You're a fool for getting so worked up over it. Go watch Once Upon a Time in China, or even Big Trouble in Little China if you want something more authentic. Forbidden Kingdom was a crap movie.

It would be better to spend your time re-watching Drunken Master 2 or Once Upon a Time in China. I saw it in the theater, and it wasn’t very good.

I saw it with Howie when I was up in Seattle back in April and wasn't too impressed by it. Too bad the movie was only so-so.
