Xi you ji zhi Nü er guo

I usually do not watch this kind of films, but this series is exceptional! It is entertaining and I really loved the sound tracks :) The story line was really good as well, with continuous liveliness. As 'Monkey King3' focuses on relationship of characters and detailed story line, yes, it is bit less entertaining than 'Monkey King1&2', but its cinematic quality is higher than previous ones. This film was like a gift set to me :)

Nothing special on this film and too much CGI using , this is when China got CGI ,China have a lot of location that very extraordinary but they choose to using CGI

Cosmetics and effects rivaling, if not trumping, The Shape of Water, a star cast, precedence and notoriety for its previous installments, and a story adapted from a famous ancient Chinese novel deeply imbedded in Chinese national identity (as well as renditions throughout East Asia), were all foundational pieces to set this film in good standing. While depicting the Journey to The West may be nationalist in itself, I find it incredibly unfortunate that this film took opportunity to inject current political propaganda, particularly in favor of the implications of limited children policies. What more, I concur with Elizabeth Kerr that this film "felt like a missed opportunity" to depict its primarily female cast as active-not-reactive. This may be in part due to the source content of the relevant chapters of Journey to the West, yet license had been routinely taken throughout each film in the franchise and there is no good reason to miss the mark here given the nature of the setting and plot. Traditional gender normative are further enforced by the villainization of androgyny and an unfavorable transgender depiction, which was a notable change from the source material. There is also a villainization of Western convention seen through the cosmetic portrayals of our main female protagonist and (for lack of better word) antagonist using the film's contextually-current beauty standards of China and America ("current" for the latter being a bit loosely defined from an American context as it leans a bit more early 2000s, yet still made iconic by American icons such as Barbie with blue eyeshadow, pink lips and blush high on the cheekbones, unnaturally lined eyebrows, and thick winged eyeliner), respectively. This is highly unfortunate given the franchise's seeming success and popularity overseas. Forgiving this work as a result of its context, particularly in how domestic businesses are obligated to be to some extent puppeteer by Chinese official policy in order to exist, the film is enjoyable as a campy (wire effects and costumes like the Power Rangers but CGI like a chef's kiss) and interesting installment to the series that uniquely focuses on love as opposed to strictly fantasy martial arts. I am weary about the injection of propaganda in future installments, but I wait with baited breath nonetheless to give an anticipated 4th installment, rumored to be in the works since 2018 (which I hope the pandemic has not entirely derailed), a chance. I hold on to hope that we may take a step back and focus more on what was done right with the second movie which lacked in the third to bring into the fourth- particularly an equal strength and depth of character for all participants, regardless of sex or gender.

Apart from the graphics ,there is different plot to original story . there is quite decent comedies and added story which isnt necessary in the movie. anyway the actress is beautiful too. its a family show. if u r into heavy stuff,then its not for u. if u wanna decent laugh and eyeball popping,recommend u n ur children watch it.

I already can accept the second movie to differ from the first one. But, the third movie is even more differ. I don't know if it was intentional or not, but as a trilogy, your movies need to have a visual handsign to make them have red string to one another. These trilogy in another hand, feel disconnected.

As for this trilogy, the 2nd movie is better than the 3rd movie. This statement coming from someone who still think Donnie Yen's first installment as the best.

I don't understand what happened to the downgrade. Is it so hard for the director to make his production consistent?

I heard the 2nd movie had the same CGI studio of Lord of The Ring and The Hobbit to worked on the project. I think this movie couldn't get that studio back and it ended up in lesser quality.

The tonal shift of somber, but humorous 2nd film to this full on soap opera comedy blew my mind in the bad way.
