Legendary martial arts stars Jackie Chan and Jet Li come together onscreen for the first time ever in director Rob Minkoff's time-traveling take on the Monkey King fable that finds an American teen transported back to ancient China after wandering into a pawn shop and discovering the king's fighting stick. Once there, the adventurous teen joins an army of fierce warriors who have sworn to free their imprisoned king at all costs. In addition to appearing as the mythical Monkey King, Li assumes the role of a silent monk, and Chan appears in the role of kung fu master Lu Yan. Famed action choreographer Yuen Woo Ping presides over the fight sequences. ~ Jason Buchanan, Rovi

MICHAEL S.

Not bad - decent action overall.

James B.

I was expecting a pretty average film, but found that the plot was interesting and the action and humor things moving. There are a few awkward plot devices that keep it from being a great film.

Good story line and action. It kept our interest throughout the movie. Jackie Chan often adds his comical touch too.
