Journey to the West [Blu-ray]

Love sci-fi/fantasy movie. The struggle to find thy self is truly a struggle

I admit i've been a Stephen Chow Fan for a long time and it definitely helps to know some of the comedic style and cultural references to the famous Journey to the West mythology that has been retold and remade so many times. And there are so many refreshing angles that Chow took that were pleasantly unexpected. I hesitated to invest time and money on one of Chow's not starring films!? Get out of here! Can't be good right? Wrong. His presence is so strongly felt even without his screen presence. The story just breezed by without any lulls and I haven't laughed this hard in a long time. For the non Chow initiated film collector looking for a audio visual feast you won't be disappointed with top notch graphics and action. The genius of his story telling and comedy is understandable to a wide audience. Example. His first scene there is an intense water battle which becomes a see saw balancing act (a visual reference we can all appreciate from our childhood) I can't wait to show this one to others. And maybe watch it in English next time. I watched in the original language with subs and I don't speak the dialect.

A lot of people said this was a good movie,and they were not wrong.The action is awesome,CGI is amazing and the acting is great.Didn't know when I brought this dvd new,it came with this really cool foil slipcase.

While not the best of his films (like Kung Fu Hustle and Shaolin Soccer) this is still a great film. Anyone a fan of his other stuff should give this one a shot. For those wondering, yes this does have an English Dub track. I watched this on Netflix and all they had was English Sub. So I was hesitant buying the blu-ray because some people said it had it, while others said it did not.

Stephen Chow does it again! A unique masterpiece from Hong Kong. I don't know where he gets his ideas, but he had me mesmerized for the entire film. I felt the same about his previous classics "Kung Fu Hustle" and "Shaolin Soccer". The humor is side-splitting. Everything is so tongue-in-cheek but what has enhanced all of his films are the special effects. Amazing characters, sound effects and soundtrack. I never give you guys spoilers or plots. Just watch this and judge for yourself. The box cover is all I share! ALL 5 STARS! Chow is a Champion of film.

The lead female is a bit annoying at times in this story, but overall I found this to be a fantastic telling of Journey to the West. Most of the story is very slapstick, but it does offer satisfying moments of depth. The scene where the monk begins singing nursery rhymes to the demon, and the look on the demon's face...priceless. The scene where the Monkey King tries to defeat the monk by ripping his hair out, and all that ensues...that is what I loved about this movie.

Seen many iterations of JTtW but this one caught me off guard. First viewed at 3am was unsure what I was watching, attributed to insomnia. Viewed again when coherent, wasn’t lack of sleep. Surreal/ funny just doesn’t quite capture spirit but had to have for collection as guilty pleasure.

If you're looking for the perfect movie to spend about 2 hours watching with the love of your life eating popcorn and sour patch kids. This is the movie for you. Make a memory, share a laugh, get excited, be afraid. All that is possible with this movie. Just know that once that two hours is gone you're going to ask yourself two important questions. 1) What the hell did I just watch? 2) Is there more where that came from, because I need there to be more.The answers to those questions are. 1) Does it really matter? That was freaking awesome wasn't it? 2) Yes. Try Kung Fu Hustle if you haven't already.

Movie play fine

enviado recibido antes de la fecha maxima de entrega prevista. Todo correcto.

If any of you enjoyed the monkey series back in the 80s then you'll enjoy this as it's the very first edition of what really happened before they all joined together and the their first journey begins

Don't but if in AUS, the format will not work

Stephen Chow macht irrwitzige Komödien. Warum man diese speziellen Diamanten mit Starbesetzung nicht in Europa oder bei Amazon Prime anbietet, kann man sich mit Vernunft nicht erklären. Diese DVD ist nur für die US Region. Am Computer, mit freiem DVD Laufwerk, sieht man dann ein Geschichte um witzig monströse Geister, superscharfe und weniger scharfe Geisterjäger, herrluch aufgemotzte Kungfu Gags und schmachtende, patscherte Liebe, alles gewürzt mit schwarzem Stephen Chow Humor&Slapstick. Mit dem Ming-Klassiker über die "Reise nach Westen" hat dieser Film nichts am Hut. Shu Qi ist zum Fressen süss und wie immer unwiderstehlich. Auf die Fortsetzung in 2017 bin ich schon voll Vorfreude gespannt.
