I couldn't agree more from the comment made by Mini Jan Jan. This film looks find from the eye of English Speakers. This film is full of problems for Chinese because the story is based on a classic and respectable Chinese literature. The most important point is that a Chinese classic literature is being told by a western lead actor who's goal and desire are not even well defined. I think a lot of people will go against the idea of having an Aisan lead to play Shakespeare's Hemlet and whatnot. Additionally, a kung fu maniac never take his time to learn any martial arts is just not believable in the first place. I'm sure the ending of The Forbidden Kingdom insults some Chinese religious believers. In the last scene where Jason Tripitikas walks up the stairs to return his home, it is suggesting Jason's Character trancends among the Chinese God. Is Hollywood trying to imply that even Chinese God have to look up to the Westerners? This film is an insult to the Chinese literature and Chinese religion. The filmmakers should have done in-depth research about Chinese culture before making this film.
