I am very happy with the like new condition of the product and the speed in which it was sent to me.

Excellent Film 5 out of 5 stars.
0 of 1 people found this review helpful.

A look at endless possibilities and life in other worlds. Scientists are almost certain that we live in a multiverse brimming with parallel universes, leading different lives that we can only imagine. If you love science and the possibility of life in other worlds, you will certainly appreciate this film. Packed with action, adventure, mystery and a punch at alternate realities, this is one film you don't want to miss. Sci-Fi at its best.

Lame Movie, Hilarious Ending! 3 out of 5 stars.
0 of 0 people found this review helpful.

The production values are high, but what they produce is crap. The ending is so bad it's awesome with dialogue like: "I am Yu-Law...I don't need to know you, YOU need to know ME! I will be The One".

Even the fight scenes aren't entertaining. The only saving grace is that the core idea of the story is cool (i.e. killing all your alternate reality selves results in ultimate power), but in the end it's basically just a merging of the TV show "Sliders" and "Rumble In The Bronx".

Honestly, I would have paid to see a 90 minute version of the last 28 seconds of the film where the evil Yu-Law kicks the crap out of thousands of convicts that attack him atop a pyramid on a prison planet. No story, just silly, over the top action.

Editorial Review:

The evil Yulaw travels to parallel universes, killing off alternate versions of himself and gaining incredible power by acquiring each victim's strength, speed, and intelligence.

Forbidden Kingdom 4 out of 5 stars.
0 of 0 people found this review helpful.

Lots of action and it makes you laugh as well. I would recommend seeing this one. It is very entertaining and lots of fun to watch.

Overall, a great martial art movie! 5 out of 5 stars.
0 of 0 people found this review helpful.

A lot of low rating reviews are too picky. They pick out a single thing in the movie and say the whole movie is bad. I was surprised by a well rounded fantasy story mixed in with Chinese folk-tale. You simply can not compare it to the Chinese movies. Those tend to be darker with complex relationship and usually the fighting and killing are ruthless with body parts getting ripped apart. Maybe that is why reviewers are saying this is more family friendly. Overall, the story was well thought out. The kung fu fighting scenes were intense and top quality. All actors did very well in portraying their characters. I never watched it because I heard bad reviews from critics when the movie came out. Finally saw it. And I was thoroughly entertained. In terms of showing it to kids, there are still some spots of violence that are not for kids. I probably would limit this movie for kids at least 14 years old. One more thing. The bonus features are fantastic. I have the single disc version and it has quite a long list of bonus features. Make sure you watch all the bonus features!

Editorial Review:

Individually, they've starred in the most adrenaline-pumping martial-arts adventures ever. Together for the first time, Jet Li and Jackie Chan join forces to create the greates epic of them all- THE FORBIDDEN KINGDOM. As ancient Chinese warriors, they must train and mentor a 21st century kung-fu fanatic who's been summoned to fight a centuries-old battle and free the imprisoned Monkey King. If you're a fighting fan, the wait is over. The team is ready. The Kingdom has arrived.

INTERESTING CONCEPT WITH DABBLES OF LAMENESS 3 out of 5 stars.
0 of 0 people found this review helpful.

Interesting concept regarding a man who was brought up as though he was a cage fighting dog. He lived in a large metal cage that had all the amendities of prison plus a children's ABC picture book. Later, we learn that his mother who was murdered by thugs (you'll have to watch it to find out which thugs), was also a brilliant pianist, which was why he had a heightened interest in pianos. So when, by chance, during a thug operation, he met a blind man who was piano tuner, tuning some pianos in the same warehouse the operation took place, a seed of decention was formed. Later, he ran off and was taken in by the blind man and his daughter where he was treated with love and humanity.

However, certain glaring problems arose. Being raised in that cage from boyhood, who taught him to fight? I suppose he can't read and write since all he had was the ABC book. And I can't see how someone who has grown up with such violence could suddenly develop a conscience. Or if one had a conscience, would not have shown signs of resistance in some passive aggressive way against their captors. When he was taken in by the family, it was like he returned to where he left off as a boy.

I think this movie was not meant to be analyzed. It was entertaining. The collar thing was interesting. Of course, the fight scene was fun. The family was enduring. A good movie to watch when you want to unwind.

Finally...A Compilation Set With All The Features 5 out of 5 stars.
3 of 3 people found this review helpful.

Generally, these double-, triple-, or otherwise multi-film deals are cheap, bottom-of-the-barrel compilations that only feed the needs of penny-pinchers and starving airmen. However, Warner Bros' "Romeo Must Die"/"Cradle 2 the Grave" set is a formidable double-team that breaks the subpar standard of these collections and delivers the complete package where both of these films are concerned.

Regardless of the contents of the films themselves (you'd have to have been living under a rock not catch Andrej Bartkowiak's 2000 genre-bending Jet Li/Aaliyah vehicle and its indirect sequel co-starring DMX), both include all of the special features found on the individual releases: "Romeo" features 13 making-of featurettes, three music videos, trailers, and DVD-ROM features; "Cradle" includes five featurettes, a DMX music video, the theatrical trailer, and DVD-ROM features. Both films feature English and French language tracks and corresponding subtitles ("Cradle" also has Spanish ones) and, yes, both are featured in 2.4:1 widescreen.

I'm a bit disappointed that the middle act of Bartkowiak's quasi-trilogy (Exit Wounds, starring Steven Seagal) wasn't included on here, but I suppose Warner Bros. figured that Jet Li sells pretty darn well on his own. It's cool to have these two films together on one disc, seeing as their similarities in style make for an excellent comparison opportunity and good companions for a movie night. If it will save you money, there's no reason not to consider this double-feature over buying the two films separate: aside from filling up excess space on your movie shelf, you won't be missing out on anything.

Editorial Review:

A kickin'-it, livin'-it action mix! Martial arts moves and mayhem fuse with hip-hop sounds and style in two hard-charging adventures directed by Andrej Bartkowiak (Exit Wounds) and produced by Joel Silver (The Matrix). Dynamic one-man fighting force Jet Li makes his English-language starring debut in Romeo Must Die [Side A], taking on both sides of a violent Oakland turf war (with rapper DMX on one of those warring sides). Streets are mean, but Jet Li and DMX are meaner in Cradle 2 the Grave [Side B] as they join forces in a volatile conflict ignited by kidnapping, stolen black diamonds and a sadistic crimelord. Gonna be a wall 2 wall, start 2 finish, man 2 man rush of action that's 2 off the meter 2 resist. No coolin' this Jet!

My nephew is a Jey Li fan, left up to him he would have all of Jet Li movies on dvd.

Very good movie, and true sadness in it all. 4 out of 5 stars.
0 of 0 people found this review helpful.

I really enjoy watching this movie, it is truly a very good movie. I must say that the true sadness is that Aaliyah died. I dont know about anyone else, I think this was one of her better movie roles. I really did not like her in Queen of the Damned. Jet Li is one of the true action stars of our time. I would almost rate him up there with Bruce Lee.

Editorial Review:

They've got the guns. They've got the posse. But they've got no chance when a street-fighting ex-cop (Jet Li) takes on both sides of a fierce Oakland turf war, involving "the wildest action scenes since The Matrix!" (Bill Bregoli, Westwood One).

War is one heck of an action movie from start to finnish. Jason and Lee back again since The One, and they are both top notch actors. I have predicted for a long time Jason would make one of the best James Bonds if that could ever happen for him.

Bridget's review 5 out of 5 stars.
1 of 1 people found this review helpful.

I'm a huge fan of action movies. I have yet to see a movie with Jet Li or Jason Statham that I didn't like. This was a "keep you on the seat of your pants" movie that kept me entertained until it was over. I can't believe how much of a difference Blu-ray can make!

War 4 out of 5 stars.
0 of 0 people found this review helpful.

"War" is a serious, sophisticated, powerful action-thriller with a decent plot and good performances, especially by Jet Li. There is great action and fighting in this movie, there is one fight scene where it becomes so furious, even in the beginning, that it's impossible to follow what is happening to whom whereby the story gets jumbled and collapses partially - becoming fighting for fighting sake whereas a great director would have been able to save the plot outline even in this complicated and physically well-executed stretch of the movie. Jason Statham's seems to have martial arts skills above his job classification which make it sometimes a bit incredible, but still enjoyable. By the time the twist comes along, it's actually quite a nice one, but not executed with the greatest of credibility. This is overall a good, compelling, and rather complicatedly sublime movie. This movie is rich with action.
