“Lets cut to the chase here; there is more corn than in a big field of corn, an enormous field of corn at that.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eIt is a soap of epic proportions, the acting both dramatic and delightfully ham, the inspired mix of more than adequate CGI and palpably 1970u0026#39;s cinema effects put me in mind of watching Monkey (Saiyûki) King on a Friday night in the 80u0026#39;s, a classic of itu0026#39;s time. Just this time itu0026#39;s Demonic Spirit Monster kicking Korean fantasy madness instead.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eAll the things that are right with it work well and all the things that are wrong with it just seem to make you feel little tinges of joy as they pass by.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eTurn your brain off, muffle your intellect with cotton wool, donu0026#39;t worry too much if the storyline seems a bit complicated and confusing at points (it all kind of makes sense in the end) and enjoy an entertaining show.”
