I really expected a cheesy kung-fu movie but actually it was pretty good.

A fantasy-adventure-comedy geared for mass audiences, "The Forbidden
Kingdom" is a sort of kung-foolish paella, with a little of everything
thrown in so that everyone can find something to like.
For kung-fu fanatics, there's the first-ever pairing of legends Jet Li
and Jackie Chan. For youngsters, there's a teen heartthrob (20-year-
old Michael Angarano). And the script borrows from all over: "The
Wizard of Oz," "Crouching Tiger" and "The Karate Kid" come easily to
mind".
A pleasant pastiche from family-friendly director Rob Minkoff ("Stuart
Little," "The Lion King") and writer John Fusco ("Hidalgo," "Young
Guns"), "The Forbidden Kingdom" relies on all manner of made-up
prophecies, myths and magic spells to get its young hero from modern
America to ancient China and into a movie's worth of trouble. The
portal to the past is the armed robbery of an old shopkeeper (yes,
that's Chan in heavy makeup). Somehow, our young hero finds himself
whooshed into the past, where he encounters a drunken master (Chan
again) and a whole raft of evil tidings. We particularly liked the
whip-wielding wicked witch Ni Chang (Bingbing Li).
This film's universe is one of mystic transformations, of warriors
turned to stone (and back again) and epic, special-effects
confrontations.
But the highlight is human. That's when Chan's drunken master
confronts Li's Monkey King. Watching these two old pros go at it is
indeed a treat -- one that makes the rest of this lightweight epic
more tolerable.
The film is rated PG-13 and runs 113 minutes. I give it a B-.

Every movie you see doesn't deserve its own thread. Try this one instead.

Why isn't this movie moved to the Action-Adventure movie thread? By the way I enjoyed the movie.
