The Forbidden Kingdom

An American teenager obsessed with kung-fu discovers a legendary staff in a Chinatown pawnshop and is transported to ancient China. There, he joins a group of warriors on a dangerous quest to free the imprisoned Monkey King and confront a powerful warlord.

My take

You’ll probably enjoy this lighthearted blend of Chinese mythology, comedy, and martial-arts action if you like Mulan or Journey to the West: Conquering the Demons; Not for you if you want serious drama or intricate storytelling.
