the monkey king

i've watched this last week. i enjoyed it a lot. Jet Li and Jackie Chan's team up is the best idea ever! their fighting scene where they were fighting over the magical staff was awesome! they seem like equal but for me Jet Li was the best! ^__^;; i never knew at first that Jet Li was the monkey king. he seemed young with the monkey king costume. if he weren't closed up, i wouldn't have known that it was Jet Li! however, i really didn't like that there was an American there. as the silent monk had said, "he's not even Chinese!". if it weren't for Jet Li and Jackie Chan, the movie would have failed. they say that they put a touch of West on it by putting an American cast to commercialize the film. i say, commercialization was a bad idea. it would have been better if the movie was all pure East. and then, i also think that they lack enemies. the Jade Warlord and the white-haired witch were not enough for Jet Li and Jackie Chan. Jet and the Jade warlord should have a longer fight scene too. and Jackie's fight with the white-haired witch was pathetic. the witch was too weak for Jackie. Jackie deserves a more formidable enemy. the witch should have been fought up by Sparrow. Sparrow shouldn't have meddle with the Jade warlord and the monkey king's fight. i was really disappointed with the lack of enemies. but all in all, i love the movie because of the nice rapport between Jet and Jackie. they should make a better movie together in the future.

I also thought of what could have waiting for a team up movie Jet Li- Jackie Chan, I was a great fan of both of these guys. this is my analysis: If Jet Li likes movies with great hard kicking fights, and most of the times movies he did deals with a serious scenes and often really hard core fighting techniques. do you agree? on the other side, Jackie Chan is famous for his funny movies and his technique in Chinese fighting is using the things around him to protect/fight the enemy, Having these to great differences, I think what lacked the movie is the story or script that did not balanced out these differences between the two. I did watched the film, and even though jet li tried a more light and comedy movie(romeo must die) and jackie chan tried (thunderbolt) a more serious one, I think the story elevates the story of a more serious more real hard chinese fighting giving a dominion of jet li on the forbidden kingdom

I haven't watch it yet but Adie/April/Dawn, your classmate , wanted to watch it and she's tempting me everytime she said she wanna watch it. I think I saw the trailer of this film on tv sometime before. That was a fight seen between Jackie and Jet.

I havent even heared about it, sounds good, ill take a look sometime.
