This movie claims to have more than 2,400 special effects shots, but I seem to feel that there are more than 24,000. After watching it, I just feel that it is really empty. The special effects are nothing but great scenes. The details look like It is the same as copy and paste, which cannot stand scrutiny and looks very fake. Of course there are a few special effects that are well done, but it's just a few shots. Speaking of which, everyone basically knows the level of this film. I won't say much about the story. Basically, it means that the Demon Realm leads the Bull Demon King in order to conquer the Three Realms, so he teamed up with Erlang God and used Sun Wukong's divine power to break into Nantianmen, trying to Killed the Jade Emperor, but was finally killed by the awakened Sun Wukong. If you want more thunder people, you will be more thunder people. Sun Wukong, who has been forced for a long time, suddenly wakes up. It is completely illogical and extremely far-fetched. In the end, he becomes a gorilla and fights the Bull Demon King. You think you are King Kong!
The cost of 300 million yuan, and the five-year production cycle, it is really a pity for such a defective blockbuster. The star lineup is a highlight, but in fact Chen Qiaoen, Chen Huilin, Zhang Zilin, Gigi Leung, Zhang Zhaohui, Zheng Jiaxing and Xia Zitong are basically playing soy sauce. Among the main roles, Donnie Yen's Sun Wukong is pretty decent, at least a bit monkey-like, that is, fighting games is like a flower fist and embroidering legs, it is better to watch the TV version of Journey to the West. He Rundong's Erlang Shen is really good at acting, it fits him quite well, and his facial paralysis is a bit ruthless. Aaron Kwok's Bull Demon is also very mediocre. As a big villain, he always gives people a feeling of emptiness, and how can Bull Demon be so handsome? Chow Yun-fat's Jade Emperor felt like a middle-aged old man, a little helpless, and in the end, he sat like a bankrupt boss and was stupid.
Compared with the two Journey to the West movies from last year and this year, Xing Ye's movie is simply beautiful, and at least it has completed the basic task of comedy. The film is a fantasy action movie. Magic is not enough, and the action scenes are third-rate. I really want to punish Donnie Yen to watch "The Raid" a hundred times, a hundred times. Moreover, the price of this film has also increased, and so many people have watched it, it is even more worth complaining. Finally, I advise everyone not to go to the cinema easily during the Chinese New Year, because it is very likely that you will not get fun in exchange. Instead, I mean every movie during the Spring Festival. Everyone is still waiting for the Hollywood animation masterpiece "Frozen" on February 5th, it will be good.
ps: In the end, there are too many people complaining about the movie theater today, you just want to watch ". . . . "This movie, it's not better to go home and watch TV, and the cinema is not a place for wild children. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .

    The first-hand screening was beyond expectations. It was a serious production. I liked the Buddhist and Taoist background of the story of Journey to the West. Unfortunately, the 86 version of the TV series has no way to show us many scenes. This time, the heaven is in my heart. It's hard to feel the truly satisfied Heavenly Court without going to the cinema. In addition, Donnie Yen is definitely on the hook, applaud for him!

    Horrible. An anti-establishment hero is written alive as a "silly and naive" exploited. The beautification and defense of the establishment and those in power, whether intentional or not, in the co-production film is really regrettable, not to mention that this is a "havoc in heaven" that symbolizes the "spirit of rebellion"! Woohoo!
