Monkey King

What a slow Saturday. I still felt sick and bored at the same time when Yang dragged me out to the Vue cinema to kill our boredom. Surprisingly, we ended up watching The Forbidden Kingdom under Yang’s recommendation although I kept looking at Wall-E poster next to the counter with a faint hope that we might “accidentally” buy a wrong ticket which we didn’t. Anyway, I think it’s the sequel of the Journey to the West story which I read during my childhood time. Well, the storyline is smooth except for a few err extra baggage characters who spoiled the movie. I mean, if they axed off White Witch (who reminds me of the anime character on one of those ATI Radeon catalogue) and Sparrow characters, and minus their weird American slang (which send me back to those early Bruce Lee's movies which dubbed in the funny quacky American voices), the director might scores a hit here. Anyway, we give this movie 3 thumb up because it's a real treat to Jet Li and Jackie Chan's fan especially the scene in the ruin Temple. Jackie Chan step into his old time classic character in the Drunken Master while Jet Li uses his mixtures of Wong Fei Hung's and Fong Sai Yuk's sequence except for his famous No Shadow Kick.. hehe.
