I missed part of the middle, but I've seen the movie before, so I didn't particularly mind.

While not the best martial arts movie I've seen, The Forbidden Kingdom has its moments and watching Jackie Chan and Jet Li in the same movie is also quite a joy.
Overall, I'd be reserved on recommending this movie because it's probably not that great. However, I have seen it three times now and so there's certainly something about it which I find likable.

Haha. "Ah. He who speaks does not know. He who knows does not speak. Surely, you're masterful."
Lol. Complain and you get your restaurant trashed.

The Monkey King (Jet Li) |
Speaks in metaphors. Finishes with "empty your cup." And the kid takes it literally.
"Horse stance." "Very good. For taking a dump."
"...What if I freeze?" "Don't forget to breathe."
Why not just kill him on the spot?

Lu Yan (drunken fist) |
"Not if I kill you first, orphan bitch!" Holy.
Wait, why would they just skip him altogether?
"I guess that's what being immortal truly means." Oh!
"Of course I'll live. I'm immortal."
