Wu Kong

Those expecting another cheapo Asian martial arts flick will be pleasantly disappointed. Wu Kong is clever extension of the Monkey God yarn but filmed in a beautiful and fantastical way, coupled with some poignant scenes and social commentary. The acting was well done by the eye candy leads and the action sequences were interesting too. The CGI was also better than usual. All in all, I was very entertained and actually felt for the characters.

I love this movie and I will watch it many times!

I wanted to submit as a review just what is said above, but IMDBS says that my review is too short. So I will say this: 1. I have no idea how such works are rated 5; 2. People should be obligated to post reviews in order to rate movies; 3. If you are a fan of Monkey King as a hero/character go watch this now!!! 4. If you are a fan of Wuxia genre and martial arts in general go watch this now!!!

It's a beautiful story, great visuals, multiple well written characters, great acting.

I'm so happy I watched this, It was an experience!

Hi, Here I am a 62 year old (please translate " foreign devil" ) remembering my very young time in the 70's of watching Monkey on the public broadcaster in Australia. I didn't really understand it very well but was throughl6 entertained by the pathos of the 30 minute program and associated adventures. Thank you to the producers actors and directors of this version of the epic Monkey the King. It was ver6 educational and entertaining. Thanks Regards Rob

"The Tales of Wu Kong," or simply "Wu Kong," proved to be a delightful watch, but it's essential to have an interest in Chinese mythology to fully appreciate it. I stumbled upon this 2017 gem, written by Hai Huang, Hezai Jin, Chi-Kin Kwok, Fan Wenwen, and Henri Wong, in 2020, and was genuinely impressed.

The plot loosely revolves around the Monkey King myth and is exceptionally well-crafted, providing entertainment from start to finish. With a cast featuring talents like Eddie Peng and Shawn Yue, it's a treat for the audience.

The film boasts stunning visual effects and CGI, bringing the narrative to life with dazzling realism. It offers a blend of drama, character development, romance, and martial arts, catering to a wide audience.

My rating for "Wu Kong" stands at seven out of ten stars. I was thoroughly entertained and recommend watching this 2017 film if you get the chance.

So I've been watching a few monkey king related movies recently and this was most definitely my favorite , there's a few sudden leaps of plot which are a bit jarring which prevent me from rating it higher but definitely an enjoyable movie!
