Lovesusti The Worst Film Ever

Dotsthavesp I wanted to but couldn't!

Jonah Abbott There's no way I can possibly love it entirely but I just think its ridiculously bad, but enjoyable at the same time.

Francene Odetta It's simply great fun, a winsome film and an occasionally over-the-top luxury fantasy that never flags.

stevesky Chow can do no wrong. His style and sense of humour are amazing and very rewarding. Anyone knocking this gem of a film honestly has nothing in their soul. It's well acted, funny, unpredictable and a delight. The only negative is that it's not in English so the subtitles can't do some if the comedy justice. You can tell sometimes what they were trying to do and in Chinese I'm sure it's hillarious but we westerners can only play subtitle catchup. I love all of Stephens films. This isn't as good as Kung fu hustle or shaolin soccer even but those are 9s and 10s. I thouroughly enjoyed the time spent with this movie and can't wait to watch the sequel.

e-53976 Journey to the West adapted extremely loosely from a very famous 16th-century Chinese novel is one of those movies that dares to mix unspeakable horror with laugh-out-loud slapstick, high- minded themes with dumb humor. Stephen Chow, who also made a name for himself Stateside with the hits Shaolin Soccer and Kung-fu Hustle, specializes in this kind of gonzo action comedy, and this is the most ambitious and the spectacular movie he's made yet.

olrovin Journey to the West directed by Stephen Chow was a very interesting movie. In some ways it was similar to some goofy American comedies that I have seen. I liked how it used a serious idea like Buddhism to underlie the story and then brought in various ridiculous, goofy scenes to add some comedic relief. I found that I laughed out loud a couple times which I honestly did not expect would happen so I was pleasantly surprised. I loved that there was a powerful female warrior character, Duan, who got stuff done. It was interesting how Chen, the main male character, was portrayed as weak and almost childish. In the end, however, Chen showed his strength when he handled extreme pain caused by the Monkey King, the king of all demons, and called the Buddha to come defeat him. That was my favorite part because although Duan was killed by the Monkey King, Chen finally admitted that he had loved Duan all along. It was devastatingly sad because they could never be together since she was dying, but I was happy that he admitted to loving her. Overall, I would give this film four out of five stars.

Munster2000 I began watching this movie knowing that it was based off the novel by the same name, however, at the time I had not read the book so I was watching without any preconceived expectations. I for one, enjoyed this movie for what it was and I'm actually kinda surprised at the how far if was willing to go to show the savagery of the demons.There are really only two things that I didn't particularly care for, the first being the love interest. It felt to me as though the only reason why this sub plot was introduced was to set up jokes for later in the film. Having said that, the jokes are actually kind of funny at parts, they just feel out of place. My second complaint is with the c.g. To me it looks a little goofy and clean, given the setting. It already started to feel dated by the time I got around to watching this movie. Those are just minor flaws and it was an over all enjoyable movie.At the time of writing this review, I am good portion through the novel. Really the only similarities that this movie shares with the book are the names of the characters. This doesn't bug me as much as I would think that it would, in fact, it has made reading the book more enjoyable. If you have the time and you are interested, you wont be disappointed. As well, if you enjoyed the movie, I also recommend reading the book.
