The Forbidden Kingdom

"... Strength is like water. Nothing is softer than water. Yet it can overcome rock. It does not fight. It flows around the opponent. Formless, nameless...the true master dwells within. Only you can free him." - An ancient Chinese proverb explained in The Forbidden Kingdom. A good movie. Fantasy, Comedy, Action blended perfectly. Highly recommended if you are feeling stressful, tired, bored etc. It's a feel good movie. Very refreshing indeed. The dialogues were written quite well. The only problem you'll probably face is understanding Jackie's and Jet Li's English. Aah! their ridiculous Chinese accent. I'd rather watch it with sub-titles. The storyline is very predictable in the end but you'll find it nice. closing scene in the movie resembled Kung-Fu Hustle in a way because of it's classy romantic touch.
