MacDonald and editor Colin Green do their best to make all this coherent, but it's a struggle. Go to Full Review

Any mini-series that begins in the underground chamber of the ancient Chinese terra-cotta warriors is okay by me. Go to Full Review

Stan F. @StanForrest Jan 6 Take all of Chinese history and one of the country's most famous novels, put it all in a blender. Add an effects director trying really hard to imitate _The Matrix_ on roughly 5% of its budget. Whip into an incomprehensible froth; garnish with one white savior. Serves nobody. See more 05/23/2012 I caught this one night on the sci-fi channel, I had an interest in buddhism and the story of the Monkey King. It wasn't great but it was decent. See more 05/23/2012 2 hr 13 min? the one we recorded from Syfy (same cast) was 4 hrs. definitely could have been shortened. pretty Americanized, but not bad. See more 05/02/2012 One of my fav. movies of all time. See more 01/26/2012 I very much enjoyed this film. I haven't had much background as far as the "Monkey King", other than the Japanese series when it was being broadcast in the U.K. (Under the appropriate title "Monkey"). Still, I kind of was aware of the characters, and liked their appearance in this flick. One thing I didn't care for was the length, which was no doubt easier to handle during it's television broadcast. Also, towards the end shortly after the scene shifts to the modern day. I think if you give it a chance, you'd like this. See more 12/22/2010 Extremely well made, featuring an all star cast. The plot twisted so intreguingly and the fight scenes were spectacular. By far best movie of 2001 See more Read all reviews
