Ack! Ptui!
PostedJanuary 3, 2011
Angela Jolie is paraded around Venice in various vehicles like a figurehead on a sailing ship. She's almost a caricature of herself. Johnny Depp acts mostly like he's taken too much Xanax. 1/2 hour worth of plot in an almost 2-hour movie. ZZZZZZZ.
No, I do not recommend this movie.

Best Movie of 2010 - Must See!
PostedDecember 4, 2010
My wife and I were simply blown away by how good this movie was. Christina Aguilera can pull a song from deep inside and share it with the world with power and grace. Cher is just perfect as the Burlesque owner and mentor to Christina, demonstrating her own powerful singing and acting skills. See this. See it twice. Buy it on DVD when it comes out -- we're going to!
Yes, I recommend this movie.

Wait for the rental
PostedNovember 29, 2010
While the information provided by this 2 1/2 hour slooowwwww movie is probably essential to appreciating next year's finale, it is in no way worth paying even matinee prices to see -- as we did yesterday.
No, I do not recommend this movie.

Unsatisfying
PostedAugust 8, 2010
My wife and I were quite disappointed. It takes more than non-stop action scenes to make a movie. Recommend waiting for the rental.
No, I do not recommend this movie.

Wait for the DVD
PostedFebruary 14, 2010
When held up to the "gold standard" of the Harry Potter series, this film seriously lacks in plot and acting.
No, I do not recommend this movie.

Disappointing
PostedJanuary 16, 2010
I expected more than trite characters and slow action from a Denzel Washington film. One significant plot twist, that's about it. Probably worth seeing when it's on DVD but I wouldn't recommend seeing it in theaters.
No, I do not recommend this movie.

Men and Boys Will Rate Movie Highest
PostedJuly 19, 2008
I liked it but thought it would have been worth matinee price more than full price. My wife thought it was "juvenile" but "ok." I'm sure my teenaged son will like it.
Yes, I recommend this movie.

Lotta fun
PostedApril 19, 2008
My wife and I very much enjoyed The Forbidden Kingdom as a silly, action-filled, campy outing by the amazingly-still-fit Jackie Chan and Jet Li, with fine performances by Michael Angarano and Yifei Liu. If you're looking for serious theater-fugedaboutit. But for a fun night out, it was worth it. Only complaint -- none of post-feature outtakes we've come to expect from Jackie Chan movies, but perhaps the fact that he wasn't the producer resulted in this abyssmal loss.
Yes, I recommend this movie.
