a5c7b9f00b Tang Sanzang, an aspiring Buddhist hero tries to protect a village from three demons. He develops complex feelings for Miss Duan, the demon hunter who repeatedly helps him, and finally quests to meet the legendary Monkey King. Kung Fu Hustle was a smash hit and also a brilliant and funny film so it resonated with Eastern and Western audiences. This set high expectations for 'Journey' which unfortunately it can't meet. We get a very action oriented fairy tale with demons and demon hunters caught in epic battles combined with some Budha nonsense. And these battles are pretty good actually, though the VFX are clearly not up to the modern day standards (they were done by a Chinese VFX company). The biggest problem is the comedy which doesn't work as well as in Kung Fu Hustle. Journey is a good film but it could have been a classic with some more polishing on the production (VFX) and comedy side. In the West nobody probably ever heard of this film but in China it made 213m$ and they're already building a theme park. Quite possible we could get a sequel. OK So, I Just Watched The Movie And It Is Very Awesome!And The Purpose Of My Review Here Is To Hope That There Will Be A Second Installment In This Movie e.g Journey To The West: (A New Title).I Wish This Movie Continued!<br/><br/>So My Opinion For The Next Continuing Movie For This Sequel (I Hope There Will Be) Is, Well, I Was Very Touched When Miss Duan Had To Die So, Maybe It Would Be A Big Surprise If Like There Was A Magical Buddha Spell To Re-Live Miss Duan.I Would Really Love It! <br/><br/>Other Than That, There Is A Potential Space For Stephen Chow To Continue This Sequel As The 4 Of Them (Xuan Zhang,The Repented Fish Demon, The Repented KL Hog, and The Repented Monkey King) To Search For The 22 Scripts? <br/><br/>Well My Point In This Review Is That So That, Miss Duan To Be Re-Lived.I Really Hope For That.And A Pre-Sequel.This Movie Is Really Great.It's Funny, Romantic, Action, Epic! If Anyone Know Anything For The Pre-Sequel Here Is My Email = Speedyk961@ (gmail) or (yahoo).com. I prefer The gmail though.End Of My Review Hope You Read It ! Chow's specialty is over-the-top slapstick action in the Hong Kong style, and the new film doesn't disappoint on either count.
