Wu Kong

Forget everything you know about Journey to the West novel cause Wu Kong here is a complete rewrite the origin of Sun Wukong the number one Chinese folk heroes with a much more darker tone and it surprise the hell out of me.The CGI fight is very good,the characters is likable and the dark elements really shine when it bring actual emotion to the audience.i'm not sure is it the best movie about Sun Wukong but at the meantime it the most interesting one

I watched this movie this movie is based on sun wu kong monkey i like this movie and i watched in many times thats funny character is good acting in full movie.

Hi, Here I am a 62 year old (please translate " foreign devil" ) remembering my very young time in the 70's of watching Monkey on the public broadcaster in Australia. I didn't really understand it very well but was throughl6 entertained by the pathos of the 30 minute program and associated adventures. Thank you to the producers actors and directors of this version of the epic Monkey the King. It was ver6 educational and entertaining. Thanks Regards Rob

"The Tales of Wu Kong," or simply "Wu Kong," proved to be a delightful watch, but it's essential to have an interest in Chinese mythology to fully appreciate it. I stumbled upon this 2017 gem, written by Hai Huang, Hezai Jin, Chi-Kin Kwok, Fan Wenwen, and Henri Wong, in 2020, and was genuinely impressed.

The plot loosely revolves around the Monkey King myth and is exceptionally well-crafted, providing entertainment from start to finish. With a cast featuring talents like Eddie Peng and Shawn Yue, it's a treat for the audience.

The film boasts stunning visual effects and CGI, bringing the narrative to life with dazzling realism. It offers a blend of drama, character development, romance, and martial arts, catering to a wide audience.

My rating for "Wu Kong" stands at seven out of ten stars. I was thoroughly entertained and recommend watching this 2017 film if you get the chance.

I so wanted to love this.. different characters that are on par with each other end up at odds, representing and protecting alternate positions in their godly society. Growth and loss, arcs and godly confrontations.

The cast is great, and Eddie Peng is one of my favorite leads in the last few years! His look as a more human Monkey King is unforgettable (even though he looked like Tom Cruise at times). The rest of the cast's is great and the production value is top notch, dialogue (and lack of in most scenes, because watchers can tell stories from expressions and visuals), and story structure. There's a lot to like!! Gods and their existence has always been one of my favorite topics when done well...

...but the pace slows down A LOT on the second act. There's a lack of clarity in objectives and rules. And while the final act reminded me of Asura's Wrath, it didn't go there all the way, which is a shame. Still, I'll take the first 40 minutes over nothing memorable, which are more than enough to imagine a better story.

For giving me hope of watching something exciting with a beautiful animated introduction to the story, for it's world building and mythical lore, and good structure.. I'll respect it.

While I'm disappointed, I leave with more than I expected. Maybe the upcoming game "Black Myth: Wukong" will make it justice.
