Monkey King 2 (2016) (3D)

The best in the series in my opinion. Carries the legend forward and explores what only the poetry of the original probably ever has contained (at least in translation). Monkey is masterfully acted, and Gong Li is compelling as always. The writing is superb here, and this is what carries the upgraded special effects.Truly a A+ production in all respects. This installment doesn't play down the more serious side of Journey to the West, and that is much of why I see it as the most balanced and loving interpretation from this series and in relation to all others on film to date.

Quite blown away by this Monkey King film due to the inclusion of Gong Li, one of mu favorite stars of Chinese cinema. I am also becoming hooked on the Monkey King movies, however, this one is a standout due to Ms. Gong who is the Bette Davis of Chinese film.

I can't tell you how many times I've watched this movie from the DVD set I own. but I wanted to get a digital version of the movie, only to find that this does not include the original Cantonese audio from the movie as an audio option only the re-dubbed Mandarin version. That is such a shame since the Cantonese version is the one I prefer MUCH better over the Mandarin version. I would not have gotten this if I had known that.So just be aware of this before buying it! Otherwise Its an awesome movie if you like Monkey King or Journey to the West.

I love this movie. it's beautifully filmed, with excellent acting, and beautiful special effects. Hollywood isn't the only place that can make a genuinely well made film. Gong Li, from Memoirs of a Geisha, is amazing as the White Bone Demon. What a great villain she is! Based on the classic of Chinese literature, "The Journey to the West," by Wu Cheng'en during the 16th Century. Classical lit meets 21st Century film making. Extraordinary.

I love the effects, and like the story of this movie. It starts out with a monk who is attacked while on his journey, and trapped in a cave. Then he discovers Monkey King. Monkey King gets the monk to free him, and then he helps the monk escape his pursuers. Along their journey they come across a evil demon who wants to eat the monk to obtain immortality. Watch how they overcome her.

I loved the original Monkey King. This was like reading one a children's book. I should have read that it was in Chinese and not dubbed.. but it did have subtitles..

I thought this movie was.... pretty stupid honestly. I thought it was poorly done. It was educational in the sense that it introduces a lot of characters from Chinese mythology such as the Monkey God and the like, but other than that.... yeah, not good. Wouldn't recommend.

No subtitles and not in English. Lied in the advertising

Best movie you couldwever watch!! You dont need to see part one which is very different amd good in its own way. Ive seen this 108 times. Would also recommend stephen chow's Journey to the West 2.Only wish there was an English dub!

I really enjoyed watching this Monkey King part 2 movie. The special effects are superb. I'm very glad that the movie can be played in mandarin and the cantonese dialect.

Part 2 of the Monkey king trilogy with better acting/effects. Monkey starts he's journey of penance to pick up the scrolls of buddha beset by daemons and moral dilemmas along every step.

Great follow up to an amazing movie.

Very good picture quality good
