Forbidden Kingdom - A pretty bad movie with lots of cliché's but seeing Jackie Chan and Jet Li in the same movie made up for it.

Bah, Jacky Chan\ Jet Li

 

[Lion]

shut up, hater.

 

[Fred]

really what is the point of Jackie Chan movies??

 

[Lion]

Does every movie have to have a point? Can't you just relax and watch a cool movie about a guy doing his own awesome stunts?

... like Ron Jeremy.

Depends on what you want out of it. Watching a movie about martial arts is not very different from watching sports. They just add a stupid pretext why the guys have to fight each other. If that's what you want to see, you'll be happy.

Otherwise, if you think a movie is a somewhat wider art form that is supposed to have certain characteristics, like a proper story, credible acting, a meaning etc, then you won't be satisfied.

Personally I never go for the first type anymore, I did when I was a kid though.

 

[Fred]

not really no, i dont see how a guy fighting 15 men at one time and beating them can be in anyway cool.

ok now i agree with every word you said, but what bothers me is, you've criticised every and each movie genre there is on this planet..so what is it exactly that you like?

I've criticized a lot of movies, but not exactly movie genres. My disdain for mafia flicks is well known, but other than that I don't believe I've made any sweeping statements?

 

[Fred]

I thought it was incredible.One of the best movie endings ive seen.The ending was so simple,yet so unexpected...i loved it.

ok obviously we wont get along

In all fairness though 25th hour and The Departed are both very good movies, I didnt expect you to be a fan of the latter though, it being a gangster movie and all.
