THE FORBIDDEN KINGDOM (2008) - Apr. 19, 2008
About a kid from Boston who travels back in time and finds himself on a mission in China, with help from Jackie Chan and Jet Li. Rob Minkoff's workmanlike direction suits the material fine but tends to be a bit bland (though all things considered, that's that's not really something to complain about too much in an action film these days -- it could have been so much worse). The characters never really become people we care about too much, so it slows down a bit between the fight scenes. The fight scenes are good though, particularly the inevitable fight between Chan and Li. **1/2
