Check out this guy: http://themovieboy.com/reviews/f/08_forbiddenkingdom.htm. I sang praises in comparison. Sisi--I did mention the comedy, actually. I just noticed that that note got cut in editing, which is a shame. My favorite moment--and my theater's favorite moment--was Chan's attempt to bring, er, rain. Rene–think I was rough?

Sisi–I did mention the comedy, actually. I just noticed that that note got cut in editing, which is a shame. My favorite moment–and my theater’s favorite moment–was Chan’s attempt to bring, er, rain.

In addition to being an action, kung-fu movie that attracts Jet Li and Jackie Chan fans, the character interactions and script was simply HILARIOUS. The movie was funny, and it was clearly meant to be with Jackie Chan playing an old man with lines like, "You the man" and "for a sick price." I'm not sure about your theater, but mine was laughing together for quite some part of the movie. It was funny. I couldn't believe it, but this movie was funny. More importantly it was well-done funny. This movie definitely took a much different tone than I expected, which I feel that you’ve completely failed to mention.
