Tang Sanzang, an aspiring Buddhist hero tries to protect a village from three demons. He develops complex feelings for Miss Duan, the demon hunter who repeatedly helps him, and finally quests to meet the legendary Monkey King.
I have to say that the positive reviews here are baffling to me. Perhaps Chow has succeeded in attracting audience from the West, but he's certainly losing long time Chinese fans like me. A Chinese Odyssey, a two-part movie back in 1994/1995 was arguably Chow's best work as an actor. Knowing that this is a prequel to that series I came in with great expectations. Yet after finishing the movie it left me pretty disappointed, to say the least. Script: The love between the two main characters are forced and unreal. I also don't see a strong theme throughout the movie - the Chinese Odyssey explores the tension between love and responsibility, and portrays that brilliantly (in both a funny and touchy way) throughout the series. This one? I am not so sure. I understand that Chow as a director does not intend to make humorous movies - this is clear when he was making the transition to being a director, e.g. King of Comedy. Yet back in those old movies he was still able to come up catchy/really funny lines which created a strong contrast of the underlying, sad theme. This one - it really is not funny. CGI/Acting: To me the CGI is pretty neat, and the acting is done quite nicely. Kudos to Bo Huang for an excellent portrayal of the Monkey King. But again, personally the script/storyline is far more important than the CGI.
Journey to the West directed by Stephen Chow was a very interesting movie. In some ways it was similar to some goofy American comedies that I have seen. I liked how it used a serious idea like Buddhism to underlie the story and then brought in various ridiculous, goofy scenes to add some comedic relief. I found that I laughed out loud a couple times which I honestly did not expect would happen so I was pleasantly surprised. I loved that there was a powerful female warrior character, Duan, who got stuff done. It was interesting how Chen, the main male character, was portrayed as weak and almost childish. In the end, however, Chen showed his strength when he handled extreme pain caused by the Monkey King, the king of all demons, and called the Buddha to come defeat him. That was my favorite part because although Duan was killed by the Monkey King, Chen finally admitted that he had loved Duan all along. It was devastatingly sad because they could never be together since she was dying, but I was happy that he admitted to loving her. Overall, I would give this film four out of five stars.
Stephen Chow's distinctive vision is evident in the seemingly boundless imagination of his scenarios, and in the film's sincere spiritual concerns and generosity toward misfits and outsiders.
