    This movie looks amazing, finally Jackie Chan and Jet Li together. But i doubt i'll be seeing it, too busy with school. But im 100% sure i'm getting it on DVD. What do you guys think?

    For those who don't know what im talking about, here is the trailer:

    I've seen one to many of these movies in chinese when i was little. It's nothing special it's the typical chinese version of fighting movies with all that over exaggerated jump-flying thing. Nice to see one in american though.

    I have seen the movie...nothing special
    Just like the old Historical Chinese movies with their own legend from generations and generations,
    keeps going on and on but in a westernized fashion
    Nothing new in this movie ...

    Dont know what people see in it...

    I think it will be an awesome movie! And the plus point is that its featuring Jackie Chan and Jet Li in it itself :D

    Funny and good action. Everything was Asian, but the main character was just random! :lol:

    The only thing I really liked about it was another appearance of Jackie Chan's Drunken Master Kung-Fu. Heh.

    I hate Jet Li with a passion. Completely unrealistic fighter. The fighting style he even represents is PURE HOLLYWOOD. >_< Pisses me off how fake and idiotic he is, and how his fans are all over him as if he's the greatest fighter, when he's really the most pathetic fighter.

    /end rant

    Movie felt a lot of the time like typical anime cheese. That and Jet Li were problems. Jackie Chan wasn't, though. ^_^

    I just finally saw this movie for the first time the other day. I loved it. I mean the american kid was alittle off but the Jet Li Jackie Chan fight was great. I think this is one of the better fighting movies released in a while. Would be cool if they teamed up again for another movie.

    But honestly when the monkey king fights the warlord at the end that whole fight was just plain epic.
