I saw "The Forbidden Kingdom" this past weekend

I've not yet seen it, but I hear it is a good movie. I may have to check that out sometime. It sounds like you enjoyed it. I'll be sure to see it soon, if not now, then until it's on DVD.

Foremost, I'd say that I liked Jackie Chan then as an actor even before Jet Li became popular; particularly the roles he portrays, injecting his sense of humor in almost every part he makes. And when his co-star in this movie started to be seen in the limelight, I also liked his acting prowess and I think he does his moves well, including his knowledge and skills in kung fu. But what I consider the best movie Jet Li has ever made is the movie, 'The One'. In fact, my husband and I have watched this for more than three times already. Honestly, my spouse and I still haven't seen The Forbidden Kingdom in theaters but we both decided to wait for its local release in DVD format instead, probably a couple of months from now. Somehow, we regard buying original DVD copies of films as a form of investment. It was just unfortunate that several of our DVDs were stolen five months ago, from the apartment we are renting. Anyway, I'll be looking forward to watching this movie if and when we already have a copy of it or if it's already available locally in cable channels; whichever comes first. Regards.
