You need to go in with an open mind. Forget about what you know on the classic "Journey To The West", do not expect the traditional "Journey To The West" movies where Monkey King rules the world. Although some would not like the idea of the Red Kid "Hong Hai Er" in CGI form, but I found it amazing that the character was represented differently and uniquely. The entire city linked very well to his character and reminded me of "Alice in the Wonderland". The idea of this kind of adoption is totally new, in fact, may be unacceptable to many viewers. Tsui Hark has been my all time favorite HK director and though this movie may not be his best, but the concept and idea were refreshing.
