The Forbidden Kingdom
Since I wasn't interested in the Pacino thriller OR Leatherheads (Because both are supposed to be terrible) and Mom had no desire for Forgetting Sarah Marshall or the new Harold & Khumar we compromised on kung fu...
And happily it was Chan & Li back on their A game. Hell Chan is basically the Drunken Master. Plus: Monkey King!
So good kung fu. The GOOD versions of Chan & Li. Amusing training montage. Musical score that pushes the correct emotional buttons without being heavy handed. And Jackie Chan & Jet Li have a several minute long fight scene that doesn't feel contrived...
Worth seeing even for only the mildly kung fu fannish...
