I took karate a couple years ago and quit because i thought it was lame. After seeing this movie, i want to keep learning. Jackie and Jet are EXCELENT in this movie. The movie is about a boy who falls into peer pressure by helping some bullies in his school rob a chinese man he knows. After the chinese man is shot, the boy goes on a journey to a world of five elements and enters the gate of no gate. He meets an immortal (called mortal in the movie) and a monk and learns that the stick he is carrying belongs to a monkey king who was trust into stone long ago by a military leader.
With awesome special effects, awestruck action, and exquisite kung fu, this movie is a must see! A million thumbs up!!! Great movie to see.

I always wanted to see a movie starring Jackie Chan & Jet Li, and this movie proved to be the best film ever to team those two up. Aside from their martial prowess, they are both good actors. Their on-screen chemistry as Kung-Fu Masters teaching an American kid the way of the martial art was believable and adorable to boot. Neither one pose as the other's " sidekick," but rather they're each other's balance. Watching the explosive fight scene between two of Asia's renowned martial arts kings wasn't a disappointment. Both Jackie and Jet delivered and wowed their audience. Another memorable scene in the movie for me was when they were traversing the desert and Jackie's character whined about needing something to drink or they will perish. I won't spoil all the events, but that was one of the " classic" scenes in the film for me and sealed the balance of action, comedy and a bit of drama in it too. Hey, even my nearly 2 and a half year old nephew enjoyed watching the movie -- and he's a very picky guy when it comes to watching any action movies that doesn't involve Batman, Superman or heck, even Spiderman or anyone of the X-Men characters! So if you love kung-fu movies or any martial arts movies, then this is definitely a movie worth watching!
