story chinese tall story tells the story of righteous monk tripitaka and who and along with his guardians monkey and sandy and pigsy make their journey west on a quest to recover ancient sutras and finally and they reach the final leg of their journey in shache city but all is not as it seems when the city is attacked by evil tree demons. monkey tries his best to battle them but is overwhelmed and knowing his master is in grave danger and he uses his trusty golden staff to thrust tripitaka to safety. the monk ends up being knocked out when he land and when he wakes up he finds himself in the presence of a young lizard imp named maiyan who takes quite a shine to our young hero and after many verbal misunderstandings maiyan becomes convinced tripitaka loves her and so when the monk decides he must rescue monkey and the others and she insists on accompanying him. so the mismatched pair begins their adventure together. review okay and so and it another journey to the west movie and which isn not a bad thing to me since i love the story and the characters associated with it and so i was a little excited to get my hands on the dvd. so i think i will start off my review with the story and which is all over the place and at first it was your standard fantasy film and then it became a ridiculous comedy then suddenly became full blown sci fi and if the director jeff lau was experimenting with mixing genres then he did a pretty scatological job with this movie. i think it a pretty unique approach by having the story centre on a character other then the infamous monkey king and especially taking a character as pacifistic as tripitaka and then putting him into what is at it core a love story. so overall and i liked it. the acting is for the most part solid and with leads nicholas tse and charlene choi putting in some really good performances and though ah char does spend most of her screen time behind some rather ugly make up. the supporting cast is nicely put together and it includes all the usual eeg main stays so boyz and isabella leong make appearances and one actor i would like to mention is wilson chen and who plays the monkey king and he did a good job with the limited material he seemed to have been given and he played a version of the monkey king who was subdued yet arrogant and i had a feeling he would be retreading twins effect ii territory but fortunately that not the case here. i hope he gets to do a follow up to this with himself in the central role and since the film does leave itself open for a sequel. okay and so let get down to the directing and which again is kinda all over the place and lau gives too much time to the stephen chow esquire nonsense comedy and which includes a scene where tripitaka in order to toughen himself up and dresses up as spider man and which i assume lead to many a head scratching moment since the film is meant to be set in ancient china. he does create some really nice and tender moments between the two leads and does delve into sappy territory but this reviewer does enjoy a bit of sap on occasion so it do not bother me in the slightest. right and now onto the cgi and which for the most part is quite bearable and there are a lot of moments which probably belong on a ps2 like many other reviews have stated but there are some cool moments particularly the scene in which monkey battles a flying minion. a lot of the cg gags are provided in the form of the golden staff which turns into a range of different things and ranging from a giant fly swatter to a mech suit straight out of the matrix revolutions. so yeah and it sounds crazy but i guess you would have to see it to believe it. right and so in closing a chinese tall story isn not a movie without it flaws but it keeps itself together long enough to be able to entertain and generally be a overall enjoyable movie. if all of the above doesn not swing you to see it how about i put it this way and it much better then twins effect ii.
