The Forbidden Kingdom 功夫之王

While hunting down bootleg kung-fu DVDs in a Chinatown pawnshop, Jason makes an extraordinary discovery that sends him hurtling back in time to ancient China. There, Jason is charged with a monumental task: he must free the fabled warrior the Monkey King, who has been imprisoned by the evil Jade Warlord. Jason is joined in his quest by wise kung fu master Lu Yan and a band of misfit warriors including Silent Monk. But only by learning the true precepts of kung fu can Jason hope to succeed - and find a way to get back home.

The Forbidden Kingdom trailer

I have never gone to a cinema to watch Jackie Chan before.  I honestly don't like his humor, I watched all of his movies in DVDs.  Don't know how but this one is different.  Maybe it's because the focus is not on him only.  This is a very good movie.  The fighting between Jet Li and Jackie Chan is really nice to watch.  Though not the finale fight between Jet Li and the Jade Warlord.
