Ass Kicking for the Whole Family

So last week I went to see “The Forbidden Kingdom” at the theater. That’s the new movie starring Jackie Chan and Jet Lee. I had high hopes for the movie. I mean It’s Chan and Lee for crying out loud, but it turned out to be about what I expected. It is a pretty good movie with nice action scenes and pretty scenery. The writing and the directing is made for the whole family, including children. This isn’t like the epics of Lee or the fast relentless action of Chan. It’s so everyone can follow it. That makes it good but safe. There’s not really anything edgy about it. I say take the whole family, but try to make it to a matinee.
