AniInterview Sorry, this movie sucks
Steineded How sad is this?
Bumpy Chip It’s not bad or unwatchable but despite the amplitude of the spectacle, the end result is underwhelming.
Marva It is an exhilarating, distressing, funny and profound film, with one of the more memorable film scores in years,
yueicaru There are so many hate in this movie here in IMDb, but hater always hate. People nowadays like to compare and expect the best, but then gets easily disappointed more than ever.For me, this movie is a perfect sequel and a must-watch for teens and adults. The recast is not as bad as they say and the actors fit their roles perfectly. The story is unpredictable and humorous with amazing visuals just like the first movie. There's also more CGI, not like GoT or Avengers quality, but better than the first and still satisfying. I really enjoyed the movie and I'm very excited to see what will happen next. The same feelings I had after finishing the first movie, surprised and thrilled. This is my first review and I hope you see this fair and unbiased. Don't believe what others say. Watch the first movie and then give this one a chance. You'll not regret it!
kupukupumu Coincidentally, I just watched L.O.R.D which has many same lead casts with this movie. And I have to say, this movie is as bad as that one. I almost can't believe it is directed by the experienced Tsui Hark.Almost everything in this sequel is boring and uninteresting, except the songs. The movie is so boring, yet still not suitable for kids due to some scenes. If you have not watched this, better skip this than to waste your time.
lizzykin With the iconic director, Stephen Chow, as producer and screen writer and Hark Tsui, as director and popular superstar Kris Wu as the leading actor, the highly anticipated movie "a Journey to West: Demon Chapter" has every reasons to be business successful. Majority of people go to movie to enjoy Stephen Chow's signature sense of humor and the mind-blowing special effect, which by the way, is one of the best in China. The movie did live up to their expectation. The highest box office has proved that audience is satisfied. But movie critics may hesitate to see the movie because they think it would be another remake of the classic Chinese traditional folk tale "a journey to west". As it turns out, the movie "a Journey to West: Demon Chapter " is everything but cliché. Based on the novel, the relationships among character had further developed, new screenplay gave those characters more human touch and the movie was able to show another side of main character. Especially by demonstrating the interaction between Tang Seng and The Monkey King, and the flash back of Ms. Duan, the movie has shown us that Tang Seng was not only a determined monk but also a man with emotions and wisdom. Without giving too much details, I have to say that the plot of the movie is exciting and more importantly, surprising. Last but not lease, the actors are also worth mentioning. The way the movie portraits character is unexpected yet amazingly enjoyable, from the artistic style design to the actor selection, especially Tang Seng, Kris Wu has shown that he is more than just a pretty face. All in all, "a Journey to West: Demon Chapter" is a success both in box revenue and among critics.
xmszer There is no doubt that this movie having very success in China, maybe will be the top one seller on this month. But,For my opinion , a good box office never equal to good movie, especially in China. Cause you never will know how important a actor can have their fans with money without brain. Their fans will never eject how their idol is never suit for acting. I tell the truth, no one laughed at the cinema instead of awarded. Even the children told to his mother to leave the sit because it really boring.A lot of people over-read about this movie, even the writer said "stop this, i never mean that".i don't think you made up a very analogical reason to say this movie is good is really good for the movie.
