ThiefHott Too much of everything

Ogosmith Each character in this movie — down to the smallest one — is an individual rather than a type, prone to spontaneous changes of mood and sometimes amusing outbursts of pettiness or ill humor.

Keira Brennan The movie is made so realistic it has a lot of that WoW feeling at the right moments and never tooo over the top. the suspense is done so well and the emotion is felt. Very well put together with the music and all.

Blake Rivera If you like to be scared, if you like to laugh, and if you like to learn a thing or two at the movies, this absolutely cannot be missed.

jedavis-46864 This film was very interesting and funny. The main character Xuan Zang is a demon hunter. He is different from the other demon hunters because he uses a different approach. Instead of using violence he uses a book of nursery rhymes to bring out the innocence in the demons. He meets a lady named Miss Daun who helps him hunt demons. She is always coming in to save him from the demons. Instantly she falls in love with him. Throughout the movie we see her trying to prove to him that she loves him back. Only when he realizes it, it is too late. This helps him come to his ultimate Buddha and find what he has been missing all along. Xuan Chang shows courage throughout the movie because he doesn't give up and believes in the good of the demons. He even manages to defeat the legendary Monkey King. This shows us that anything can be accomplished even when you least expect it.

Pablo This to me was a very fun movie to watch. It follows the story of disciple who hunts demons with children's nursery rhymes. His technique is to sing the evil out of them. He meets a girl named Duan, who also hunts demons, but has a much more violent approach. Throughout the movie, she quickly falls in love with Sanzang, the singing hunter. He consistently denies his love for her throughout the film, but finally admits it once the Monkey King, who he accidentally releases, kills her. As the movie goes on, Duan and Sanzang fight demons together. When the Pig Demon becomes too powerful, Sanzang asks his master for help. His master tells him he needs to find the Monkey King. The Monkey King finally decides to aid Sanzang and Duan, but then tricks Sanzang into pulling out the lotus flower, which is sealing the entrance to his cave. He escapes and begins to wreak havoc. After killing Duan, and several other demon hunters, Sanzang calls upon the power of Buddha and smites the Monkey King into solitude. My favorite part about this film was the slight comedic twist it had to it. It also had pretty good effects and the story was always entertaining. I was never bored at all throughout the film at all. I also really enjoyed hearing each demon's backstory. I thought they were all very clever.

thmurphy-37414 Journey to the West is one of the most interesting films I have ever seen. Right from the start there was a lot of different things going on that I could not quite get a handle on. I am not used to watching anything like this type of movie. Obviously I do not know much at all about what the story is about and the importance of the story in China, but I would recommend it to a friend. Especially since there is a sequel that just recently came out in China, I may take a look at it when it is released in the United States. Back to the story though, it all starts with a little girl and her father, as he is then taken away by a man eating fish. Then various demon hunters come and that is when the story begins. They go through many different demons together, a fish, a hog, and a monkey. Eventually all of the demon hunters meet up and fight the monkey, and they all lose except for the main character. All of the others have made fun of his method of fighting the demons, and that method was somewhat through his beliefs. The movie is heavily influenced by Buddhism, as that is what eventually defeats the monkey. The main character then lives on as a Buddhist monk and travels with the three demons that he previously defeated, in a search for even more demons to take down. Then we get to the sequel, you will have to watch it to find out what happens next. Overall, a very interesting movie.

empty-bin This is a Buddhist story. Let's get that out of the way. It illustrates the path to spiritual enlightenment.The thing that struck me about Stephen Chow's iteration of the classical illustration was its universality. This story is only confusing to people who've never read any spiritual thing and asked, "What's the point of this?"The Demon Hunters are a metaphorical community of humanists, basically. People who regard themselves to be in control of their destinies - leveraging technologies and magic in their fight for mastery over the evil that lives in all of us. The meek kid with the book of 300 Nursery Rhymes states early in the film, "I don't want to kill (demons), I want to bring out their goodness." This is the person leveraging love which, by the end of the film, we figure out is the power of God (Buddha).It's a beautiful story, beautifully illustrated and enriched by the performances of some seriously talented actors and actresses. I've seen many of these actors in other Stephen Chow productions but everyone really appeared to have brought their A-Game. All the performances were inspired. My favorites being the main character, his sifu and the actor who portrayed the Monkey King (WuKong).I rate NOTHING 10/10 - that's perfection and nothing is that. So I give this movie 9/10 for what it was, what it set out to do and how well it did it as well as the experience it afforded me.
