The long awaited combination of the greatest film martial artist finally comes true in this epic style movie. Jet li and Jackie Chan join forces and even have an amazing fight scene. Which of course ended in a draw. The film is about kung fu crazed misfit american kid who does nothing but live and breathe kung fu films ends up in unexpected adventure. Forced into a crime, he transcends into another world when the perps shoot his friend and nearly kill him. What then comes is what i can only describe as a Chinese chronicles of narnia adventure. I normally hate films that go into a foreign land and everybody there speaks English magically, basically americanized countries. I like when a film authenticates the situation by keeping true to the language, but surprisingly this film was tolerable. It wasn't by no means as bad as pathfinder, that is prime example western film forced into a movie. Overall this film was visually stunning and the fight scenes, although far fetched still worked. The only problem i had with the film was it was a bit corny at times but not overdone. I gave this film an 8/10.
