Jackie Chan and Jet Li sparring against each other should be sufficient enough to make a movie a run away success. Add visually breathtaking images, engaging kung-fu and Jackie Chan's sense of humor you get your money's worth for sure. The all saving American played by Michael Angarano's character (he play's a kung-fu/karate obsessed teen) is a major letdown though. The Monkey King character played by Jet Li reminds me so much of Hanuman- one of India's most popular and revered mythological god. I am not sure if such a figure exists in Chinese mythological echelon, but if it does it is quite remarkable how different cultures throw up such similarities in their religious beliefs.
