Featured reviews
Apart from the graphics ,there is different plot to original story . there is quite decent comedies and added story which isnt necessary in the movie. anyway the actress is beautiful too. its a family show. if u r into heavy stuff,then its not for u. if u wanna decent laugh and eyeball popping,recommend u n ur children watch it.
I usually do not watch this kind of films, but this series is exceptional!
It is entertaining and I really loved the sound tracks :)
The story line was really good as well, with continuous liveliness.
As 'Monkey King3' focuses on relationship of characters and detailed story line, yes, it is bit less entertaining than 'Monkey King1&2', but its cinematic quality is higher than previous ones.
This film was like a gift set to me :)
I already can accept the second movie to differ from the first one. But, the third movie is even more differ. I don't know if it was intentional or not, but as a trilogy, your movies need to have a visual handsign to make them have red string to one another. These trilogy in another hand, feel disconnected.
As for this trilogy, the 2nd movie is better than the 3rd movie. This statement coming from someone who still think Donnie Yen's first installment as the best.
I don't understand what happened to the downgrade. Is it so hard for the director to make his production consistent?
I heard the 2nd movie had the same CGI studio of Lord of The Ring and The Hobbit to worked on the project. I think this movie couldn't get that studio back and it ended up in lesser quality.
The tonal shift of somber, but humorous 2nd film to this full on soap opera comedy blew my mind in the bad way.

From a coarse comedy gradually transitions to a semi-finished film industrial product, which rely on dialogue of figures in the film to explain what is happening now. Based on this, all the disputes and criticism about adaptation and casting are could be ignored.
What's more, as the only actor that performing seriously in the film, it seems that Aaron Kwok is in a inopportune filming site, such as when the Monkey King, a mighty mythological figure in ancient times, discussing that whether the abortion is reasonable with other ordinary people...
Yes, it has its flaws. Yes, the plot is bad... but it's so bad it's good! It reminds me of 1994's "Street Fighter: The movie" with Jean-Claude Van Damme and the late, but glorious, Raoul Julia.
Just turn off your brain and enjoy the cringiness, the ovesaturated color schemes, the butt-naked jokes, the cartoonish acting and what was probably the first case of mpreg in the History of Literature.
In fact, under the layers upon layers of bad movie-making decisions lay the roots of what could've been a great story. All they needed to do was to establish a proper villain.
Let me fix it. They already had what they needed: the women of Womanland aren't "free" from men; they are trapped inside of a gilded cage.
How simple it would've been to push that theme. Just have the Royal Perceptor want to take the throne (and be secretly aware that they are poisoners, but not caring)... At the same time, have the fortune-teller be aware that they are prisoners, but unable to use the information... until she sees Wukong decide to give the Sacred "no-baby" Water to his friends.
With just that little modification, everything falls into place.

- TriviaIt takes Aaron Kwok, Gigi Leung, and Him Law for about five to six hours to put on their special makeups; the makeups are easier for Shaofeng Feng and Shenyang Xiao, who only have to spend two to three hours. The heaviest make up goes to Chi-Ling Lin's character as the river goddess, for which she has to spend eight hours.
