The monkey king full movie part 1 movie#
Įlizabeth Kerr from The Hollywood Reporter believes that the film is "bonker(s), but in a charming, delirious sort of way" with "enough eye-catching set pieces." But the movie may not necessary to be 3D. On Tianjin Maoyan Culture Media's ticketing website the film has received a 7.8/10 from the audience based on over 240,000 reviews. On Metacritic, which assigns a normalized rating, the film has a weighted average score of 51 out of 100 based on 4 critics, indicating "mixed or average reviews". On review aggregator Rotten Tomatoes, the film has an approval rating of 29% based on seven reviews, and an average rating of 4.8/10. The third sequel was released in China on February 16, 2018. Hollywood talent Shaun Smith ( 300, I am Legend, The Monkey King 2) returns as the special makeup effects supervisor/designer for the Monkey King 3. On 1 March 2017, Liu Tao, Lin Chi-ling, and Gigi Leung were reported to have joined the cast. The original cast members of The Monkey King 2: Aaron Kwok, Feng Shaofeng, Xiaoshenyang and Him Law would be reprising their roles as Sun Wukong, Tang Sanzang, Zhu Bajie and Sha Wujing respectively in the film. On 4 December 2016, it was announced that Zhao Liying would play the role of the Ruler of Women's Country. Zhao Liying as the Ruler of Women's Country.Him Law as Sha Wujing, the water-buffalo.Xiaoshenyang as Zhu Bajie, the pig demon.Feng Shaofeng as Tang Sanzang, the Buddhist monk.Aaron Kwok as Sun Wukong, the Monkey King.Will Tang Sanzang give up on his sacred mission and stay with the queen? As Sun Wukong, Zhu Bajie and Sha Wujing search for a way out of this nation surrounded by a vast magical net, it soon transpires, conveniently, that romantic love is the only key to opening the gate. Love nevertheless blossoms between Tang Sanzang and the Womanland's young queen ( Zhao Liying), even though her royal preceptor ( Gigi Leung) is hell-bent on sentencing the men to death. There's plenty of corn in this one, no argument, but it's corn for a good cause.Sun Wukong ( Aaron Kwok), Tang Sanzang ( Feng Shaofeng), Zhu Bajie ( Xiaoshenyang) and Sha Wujing ( Him Law) – inadvertently enter the Womanland of Western Liang, a nation populated by women raised to believe that men are fatally deceptive in matters of the heart. The Twin Towers scene near the end was not only exciting but quietly moving, as it showed just how much the beast cared for his beauty. More enlightened than having her scream endlessly. The new twist was having the emotional connection between Lange and ape. But we all know how the story works any of us who have a rudimentary knowledge of the original, that is. It still gets me when Kong blew-dry Dwan (Lange after her waterfall shower) those puffed-out cheeks, especially in 1976, were high tech enough for me (remember, this was before "Star Wars" came out). Of COURSE it's a guy in a monkey suit, but it's a guy in a WELL-DONE monkey suit. But I think Rick Baker did a good job with it.
The bit parts are also filled with familiar faces (Bernsen, Piscopo, Auberjoinois, Lauter, Randolph and Lone) who acquit themselves quite well. And you couldn't ask for a better cast Lange does okay for a first role, Bridges makes linear-thought acting look easy and Grodin is about as slimy a baddie as you could ask for. The music grabs you right off: John Barry did aces with his pounding, dramatic score.
But having seen this '76 remake of "King Kong", my opinion hasn't changed much: it's still great! Maybe not the equal of the original, but how could it be? It does well enough in its own behalf. Okay, I'll admit that I was a kid when I first saw this so this review is done wearing rose-colored glasses.
