With the iconic director, Stephen Chow, as producer and screen writer and Hark Tsui, as director and popular superstar Kris Wu as the leading actor, the highly anticipated movie "a Journey to West: Demon Chapter" has every reasons to be business successful. Majority of people go to movie to enjoy Stephen Chow's signature sense of humor and the mind-blowing special effect, which by the way, is one of the best in China. The movie did live up to their expectation. The highest box office has proved that audience is satisfied.

There are so many hate in this movie here in IMDb, but hater always hate. People nowadays like to compare and expect the best, but then gets easily disappointed more than ever.For me, this movie is a perfect sequel and a must-watch for teens and adults. The recast is not as bad as they say and the actors fit their roles perfectly. The story is unpredictable and humorous with amazing visuals just like the first movie. There's also more CGI, not like GoT or Avengers quality, but better than the first and still satisfying. I really enjoyed the movie and I'm very excited to see what will happen next. The same feelings I had after finishing the first movie, surprised and thrilled. This is my first review and I hope you see this fair and unbiased. Don't believe what others say. Watch the first movie and then give this one a chance. You'll not regret it!

Saw this movie on a plane and while it was OK to pass the time with, the film as a whole was pretty bad. The humor was poorly done with unfunny jokes and unfunny slapstick stuff. While the action was pretty intense in some parts, particular the fight between the monks' disciples with the White Bone Spirit, it was too heavy on the CGI.The monk Tang Sanzang was portrayed like a clueless clown and the three disciples, Monkey King, Pigsy and Sandy, acted pretty useless for the most part. There was too much arguing and bickering among one another, particularly between Tang Sanzang and the Monkey King.It was hard to believe that the great Hark Tsui directed this movie, but not surprised that funnyman Stephen Chao produced. He really should just stick to acting, as I honestly think his talents are better used on stage.Grade D-

Being a huge fan of the first movie (it's still in my top 5), i was waiting to see this for a long time. I was unhappy about changing whole cast but after seeing the movie, i understand that was the minor problem.Since this movie is a sequel, we have right to compare it with first movie. You know what, there is nothing to compare. This one is awful. Casting, acting, even scenario are all bad. So disappointing. I gave first movie 10 stars but this movie is not even close to earn 2 stars. Only 1 star for Shu Qi.This must be the worst job of Stephen Chow.
