'Forbidden Kingdom' Trailer Sort of Joins China's Biggest Action Stars
The Forbidden Kingdom has been being touted as this amazing, long-awaited team-up between Jet Li and Jackie Chan. So why, when I see the trailer, am I being completely underwhelmed by some dipshit LaBeouf impostor and his magical, Neverending Story-esque trip to fantasy China? Surely there must have been an easier way to explain these two Chinese action stars working together. Couldn't it just be like an Ocean's Whatever movie, but with Kung Fu stuff and harder to understand? Or Rush Hour, but with Jet Li? Or could we at least get them in the same shot?
If Aliens and Predators or Jason and Freddy can be thrown together with so little regard to logic, why not these two? It can't be the dire need to tell the The Monkey King legend again; if I've already seen four adaptations without even trying, there must be hundreds more in China.
