Not too bad

It was different from other Monkey King films.

The most interesting point was that Monkey King's enemy is the other Monkey King.

The action scenes were also very impressive, because you can find a unique action style comparing with other Hollywood style action films, and I was surprised their technique like CG. It's not so weird.

I think people who loves Chinese martial arts films will love this film as well.

Also, for people who have never seen this kind of Chinese fantasy film before, it will be a new experience.

Of course, there's a cons, but it's not too bad if you like to spend your time watching Netflix.

this film was awsome!

Warning: Spoilers
This movie is based on story of Son Goku from "Journey to the West".

I watched it as I love chinese movie and Son Goku story. This movie became one of my favorite chinese movie. The action scene was so amazing and ending was impressive. Performance of actors and actress was so good enough to be into the movie.

However, the CG was awkward a little bit so I hope the director's next film will be better at some video skills. And I thought it would be needed more explanation about Son Goku and "Journey to the West" for someone who doesn't know well about story.

Nevertheless, this film was awsome! I can't wait to watch next one.

Pretty Good:)

I watched this movie because main poster was just impressive. So i was without big expectation. But I found that this Chinese fantasy movie is pretty good.

The most impressive part of movie is appearance of The Macaque Monkey. He was also in the old story and imitated The Real Monkey King. And he was enemy of The Real Monkey King for a long time.

So I was surprised that The macaque Monkey goes on a trip with The Young Monkey King. Their friendship was so touched.

Besides, some action scenes were pretty good enough to enjoy Chinese martial arts. The action performance of the two characters is very dynamic and worth watching.

I know there are sequels to this movie, and I really want to watch them ASAP.
