Journey to the West: The Demons Strike Back

This is easily the best wukong movie I have ever seen(it was really tough to beat the first movie but they pulled it off). All these gen Z haters haven't watched a fantastic movie ever! PLEASE MAKE A PART 3 I BEG OF YOU AND BRING IN STEPHEN CHOW, HE IS THE SOUL OF THIS MOVIE. ALSO KEEP USING THE SOUNDTRACKS FROM KUNG FU HUSTLE, THEY CARRY THE MOVIE IN ALL THE ACTION SCENES

Really fun movie! but it has that goofy humor of steven chow that may not be to everyone's liking, I loved the character's characterization and this more grumpy interpretation of wukong.

humorous story in the continuation of the Monkey king journey as they battle demons and each other

Journey to the west 3 ..... Please......

None of the actors were back as the main 4, Shu Qi appeared but just for Tang Sanzang, the three demons were boiled down to one characteristic except for Wukong, and never touched on their pasts so their characters were incredibly one dimensional. Costume design reverted the three back to more of a demon-like look while it looks cool, doesn't have anything to do with their redemption. The storyline felt more forced if anything while it was an adventure on their way to India, the atmosphere broke the feeling. Tang Sanzang completely changed his character, he didn't hold any of the virtues that he had in the first movie and was cruel to the three which was completely out of character. Aesthetically I enjoyed it but plot wise it was awful, the characters weren't written well as the first one even if KL Hog and Sandy had no speaking lines in the past. At least they had some depth in the first movie with the teacher talking about them.

It's rubbish, and only managed to draw people to watch because of the director and producer, and because it's Chinese New Year then. It's horrible and I feel cheated.

It's not that good compare to other movies of Stephen Chow, but it's okay to watch

An interesting and dramatic journey to the west. This should be how the monkey king and his junior fellow apprentices look like. They should be the same terrifying as other monsters.

Good 3D, good special effect. However, the script is weak and dull dialogue(though I watched original Mandarin version). Also, Kris Wu and Lin Gengxin did very bad, and definitely miscast. I believe that it can be a good movie if Stephen Chow directs by himself, not Tsui Hark. They both are different styles and don't match with each other. I did enjoy the first one, which was surprisingly good. But now this sequel is quite disappointed. (2.5 out of 5)

Was this movie made by a 10 year old? Or was this movie made for 10 year olds? Easily one of the worst movies I have seen in my life. P.S. They have GOT to stop using the "Kung Fu Hustle" sound track for the nth time.
