Harockerce What a beautiful movie!

Robert Joyner The plot isn't so bad, but the pace of storytelling is too slow which makes people bored. Certain moments are so obvious and unnecessary for the main plot. I would've fast-forwarded those moments if it was an online streaming. The ending looks like implying a sequel, not sure if this movie will get one

Teddie Blake The movie turns out to be a little better than the average. Starting from a romantic formula often seen in the cinema, it ends in the most predictable (and somewhat bland) way.

Erica Derrick By the time the dramatic fireworks start popping off, each one feels earned.

orfredericks Tang Sanzang, is a careful and loving buddhist monk who is also a demon hunter. Instead of using violence to defeat and capture the demons he uses nursery rhymes to try and defeat them. Furthermore, during his journey he must fight 3 demons in order to protect the village from the demon beings. However, there are other demon hunters that are not like him and do not see the good in the demons or try to save them, instead they capture the demons for ransom or fame. During Tang Sanzang travels he meets Miss Duan who falls in love with him and save s him repeatedly throughout the movie. Tang Sanzang must face the trial of love, good, and bad, and ultimately his own perseverance. Tang Sanzang, unlike all of the other demon hunters, does not use violence to defeat any of the monsters and is a true honest hero. I do wonder why the journey to kill and destroy demons had to be in the westerly direction and not in the east, north, or south. Like does the west have a negative connotation in both the U.S and China? I know that there is the wicked witch of the west in the wizard of Oz and Dorothy and the others must defeat her. Furthermore, I do not think that there is a difference in the United States and China for the use of the west as a negative connotation in their movies context. The film Journey to the west is very high quality and used CGI effects for production so their effects and screenplay is very evidently similar to the U.S.. I believe this happens because the U.S. and China are very developed countries and have the money to make movies look really good, not saying the other countries without the supplements of money could not make movies with high quality but it is definitely much appreciated.

jedavis-46864 This film was very interesting and funny. The main character Xuan Zang is a demon hunter. He is different from the other demon hunters because he uses a different approach. Instead of using violence he uses a book of nursery rhymes to bring out the innocence in the demons. He meets a lady named Miss Daun who helps him hunt demons. She is always coming in to save him from the demons. Instantly she falls in love with him. Throughout the movie we see her trying to prove to him that she loves him back. Only when he realizes it, it is too late. This helps him come to his ultimate Buddha and find what he has been missing all along. Xuan Chang shows courage throughout the movie because he doesn't give up and believes in the good of the demons. He even manages to defeat the legendary Monkey King. This shows us that anything can be accomplished even when you least expect it.

lileonhirth Journey to the West is about an odd Buddhist monk named Xuan Zang. Xuan Zang is a young demon hunter who must vanquish all of the demons he can find. In the beginning of this film, he is helping a bunch of frightened villagers to take down a giant, hungry, fish that is leaping from the water starting chaos. Xuan Zang has a preferred method of attacking and capturing the demons. He has this book called "300 Nursery Rhymes." Xuan Zang uses this book as a guide to capture and kill all demons. A rival demon hunter named Miss Duan keeps running into Xuan Zang. Miss Duan is a hardcore demon hunter, who is a fearless female that is not afraid of death. Miss Duan fights demons using her magical golden bracelet which is called "The Infinite Flying Rings". She uses these rings to duplicate them and then fling the circles through the air. Xuan Zang and Miss Duan go on many adventures together trying to capture demons. These two characters come across and face many different types of demons. With a sudden change of events Miss Duan finds herself falling hard for Xuan Zang. This film was extremely entertaining to watch. I like how there was so much action involved, and how the plot was constantly changing. One major theme tied into this film was the Buddha.

amai2739 I'm a fan of Stephen Chow's work, I've always liked his vision for cinema, and also his taste in comedy, like Shaolin Soccer & Kung Fu Hustle. To me, his Journey to the West: Conquering the Demons was a very unique take on the Chinese folktale that worked great for me and I loved it. A thoroughly entertaining fantasy, action, comedy movie. All the actors gave a solid performance, the set pieces were also astounding, and the story was clever. I honestly would've liked if Stephen Chow could've had a role in this as he did for A Chinese Odyssey Part 1: Pandora's Box & A Chinese Odyssey Part 2: Cinderella, where he plays the Monkey King.
