“This is the first of a two part movie series adapted from the classic Chinese novel,Journey To The West.I would consider this as the more comedic one,while the second is more action-packed,with a little sense of art-house in it(if you watch the two together it forms a perfect balance).In this movie,Stephen Chowu0026#39;s character had not yet transformed into the all invincible Monkey King,hence not much action here.It was also extremely loosely based on the novel,so fans of the book might not really like this.The comedy level in this movie is so extreme…you canu0026#39;t even stop laughing for a minute,so if necessary,watch it bit by bit to catch some breath.Watch this solely for the humor,and youu0026#39;ll see a masterpiece.Sing-yehu0026#39;s best film of the nineties.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eRate:****”
