the monkey king 2014 full movie english subtitles

The end fight when Sun Wu Kong was hit on the head with his own weapon was literally a slap on the head for him to look back at his actions. Yes, like other epics, the movie shows the up-and-coming of the hero(sun wu kong) that eventually triumphs evil, but the film has many underlying Chinese philosophies that can be realized with a little bit knowledge about Bhuddism, the dominant religion in Asia (where the movie was made). The film gives you the typical plot with the struggle of good and evil and eventually the good winning the fight. However, The Monkey King(2014) is adapted and made for younger and foreign audiences.

These series were often countless episodes, which is fine because they cater to a certain type of audience. The plot was a well condensed version of Journey to the West series. As a recap, don't look at the CGI as a turn off, but enjoy it as an enhancement to your epic ride. Tying back to my experiences with Hong Kong series, most of them had aerial flights, small styrofoam explosions, and clunky lasers, but it did not deter me from how the series were overall great. Although there are a few scenes with 1-2 seconds flash of unpolished CGI, the CGI overall is not bad at all. It is not your every day thriller, but more of a mythology.

The CGI is a bit over exaggerated, but the viewer has to accept the movie's setting before they can actually enjoy the ride. With the exception of bad translation, I have to disagree with the other two points. I have seen many bad reviews on this movie due to it's over-the-top cgi, bad translations, and poor plot. I have experienced many versions of Journey to the West, including the 1986 version(the one I enjoyed most).

This isn't going to win any Oscars, but if you're out to have fun, it's a better adaptation of the beginning of Journey to the West than most. Chow Yun Fat a benevolent Jade Emperor, and Aaron Kwok a coolly evil demon king. His movement is fantastic, whether he was fighting or being a lazy monkey. Donnie Yen is such a wonderful and naughty monkey. Unlike other reviewers, we found the CGI to be quite good (a couple of bad spots, but in other places, stunning!) We thought the acting and direction was also really good. My mother was delighted at how faithful this film was, with so many of the characters and substories being very close to how she remembers them. I just saw this film with my mother, a 65-year old Chinese woman (who has trained under some masters of kung fu), who grew up reading the stories of the Monkey King (whereas I'm more familiar with the Japanese Series, 'Monkey Magic').
