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!

This did not do well. The fantasy has been attempted with a different but poor approach. A combination of traditional powers and modern technology is also attempted but that too on the poor side. The good cards established in the first part are skipped and replaced by inferior elements. The Buddha is introduced abruptly without logical consistency. Comedy is also poor. This did not do well. Disappointed.

You need to go in with an open mind. Forget about what you know on the classic "Journey To The West", do not expect the traditional "Journey To The West" movies where Monkey King rules the world. Although some would not like the idea of the Red Kid "Hong Hai Er" in CGI form, but I found it amazing that the character was represented differently and uniquely. The entire city linked very well to his character and reminded me of "Alice in the Wonderland". The idea of this kind of adoption is totally new, in fact, may be unacceptable to many viewers. Tsui Hark has been my all time favorite HK director and though this movie may not be his best, but the concept and idea were refreshing.

I have been looking forward to this movie for years because I'm a huge fan of both Stephen Chow and Tsui Hark and it didn't disappoint! The nonsensical comedy is very Stephen Chow and the plot is engaging, my friends and I spent the whole time laughing. No one can write a good comedic sequence like Stephen Chow. Tsui Hark's half of the contribution can be seen in the special effects and action, the effects are pretty good although not perfect. The cinematography for this is amazing, there were a lot of beautiful shots. I wanted the original cast from the first movie to return but the new cast didn't disappoint. The monk in particularly was very funny. I rate this a 10 because it's everything I wanted from both of them. It certainly delivered!
