Grade: B

Forbidden Kingdom stars martial arts masters Jet Li and Jackie Chan.  This is a fanciful movie that is marketed as a martial arts film, but it’s really a wonderful family film.  Of course there are plenty of amazing martial arts sequences, that is to be expected – but there’s also a really nice story and strong, memorable characters.  We go between two worlds, almost like a “Wizard of Oz” element.  Our hero, Jason, learns and grows on this magical journey.  Jackie Chan brings his signature humor to his role.  Jet Li is charming in his role.  Love these guys!
