Forbidden Kingdom

Watched this movie over the weekend. While the plot was a bit predictable, I liked how it tried to incorporate different aspects of Chinese mythology. Things like Monkey King, and Yu Huang Da Di (Jade Emperor) and the peach party. While they did mix it all around and made up their own spin on things, the movie was very entertaining. The fight scene between Jackie Chan and Jet Li was definitely the highlight of the movie. The best scene ever for unintentional comedy has to be after Jet Li knocks Jackie Chan down, he utters the phrase "No FOOL!!!" in the worst possible chinese accent ever. Hilarious.
