The Monkey King is the story about the life of Sun Wukong before accompanying the monk Xuanzang go to India to get scriptures. Because Bull Demon King wanted to take his wife Princess Iron Fan and his son Ruxue to the heaven, he incited Sun Wukong to attack the imperial court. Sun Wukong is guilty of messing up the heaven so Buddha houses him under the Five-Peaked Mountain 500 years until he is rescued by the monk Xuanzang and follows him to get scriptures.
[A] massive sense of spectacle overwhelms a somewhat simplistic take on the mystical tale of Simian spirit Sun Wukong, but what an impressive display it proves to be in the hands of director Soi Cheang.
Soi Cheang infuses a simplistic, action-driven narrative with inexhaustible energy, but one expects greater stylistic flair and substance from the veteran helmer behind "Motorway" and "Dog Bites Dog."
