Very interesting film. Was caught on the premise when seeing the trailer but unsure as to what the outcome would be for the showing. As it turns out, it was a very good film.

It is a whirlwind of delight --- attractive actors, stunning couture, spectacular sets and outrageous parties. It's a feast for the eyes. But what really makes this dramedy work is the acting.

This movie is a contemporary take on the classic Chinese novel "Journey to the West," which is a fictionalized account of the legends around the Buddhist monk Xuánzàng's pilgrimage to India during the Táng dynasty in order to obtain Buddhist religious texts called sutras.The ministers have imprisoned the writer of the book, and are attempting to destroy it to reverse time back to traditional Chinese life, i.e. before any modernization. The modern world will be destroyed unless The Scholar From Above (Thomas Gibson) can enter the underworld and save it.Don't make any mistake. Gibson would not have taken one step except for the fact that he was following the luscious Bai Ling, who anyone would follow to the gates of Hell.He rescues Sun Wukong the Monkey King (Russell Wong - Romeo Must Die), and is joined by Zhu Bajie(Pigsy)(Eddie Marsan - 21 Grams, Vera Drake) and Sha Wujing (Friar Sand) (Kabir Bedi - Octopussy) to save the book and save the world. It is almost a Wizard of Oz adventure, as they all have personal issues to resolve in addition to the mission.Of course, Kuan Yin (Bai Ling) appears any time he utters a prayer. Thankfully, for the many appearance of Bai Ling make this film worth watching. She is usually in another spectacular costume each time she appears.Besides spectacular costumes, the sets were lavishly decorated. The special effects were magnificent, and the martial arts displays exciting.It was overly long, but most great adventures are. Anyway. that is more time to watch Bai Ling.

This movie was the most disappointing among those based on The Journey to the West. Even worse, the leading actress, Bai Ling's (or Ling Bai, whatever)performance is more disgusting with her "sexiness". Her character Guan Ying ( or Kwan Ying) is supposed to look beautiful and holy because of her place. But look what Bai Ling did to her! And also about Confucious, his words are quoted again and again but only to make him sarcastic. Every part of the movie shows that it only makes use of the story but never pays respect to the Chinese culture. Even though it tries to give people some flavor of scientific-fiction or even post-modernism, it proves nothing but failure. In a word, this movie spoils China's classic and also distorts /desecrates Chinese culture. Too awful!!!!!!!!!!

well, it was interesting, I've Never read the book, But I might have to now. I only hope I can find it.as for this movie, I think the producers would have been better served looking at English-language dragonball fanfics for a script. I guess that is something, that I feel the writings of fans of the dubbed version of a television series based on a graphic novel inspired by a book can be better than this movie.on the other hand, the special effects were alright. if they did drive the old "The pen is mightier than the sword" message a little too hard.
