What can I say about this film? It is absolutely amazing. I suppose this is to be expected when you put Jackie Chan and Jet Li in the same film. The two of them worked together fantastically, and as a result there is no shortage of high-flying, over the top, unbelievable martial arts action. This is possibly the most outlandish role I have ever seen Jackie Chan perform. He was absolutely in his element however, and delivered splendidly. Jet Li also shined in this film, but his primary character was no stretch for him. His portrayal of the Monkey King, contrarily, was quite an interesting part for the Martial-Arts Master of the Screen. His animated facial expressions and comical antics where a gem in the film, and he quickly became one of my favorite characters. The Whole film is eye candy, from the scenic Chinese landscapes to the elaborate and beautiful costumes, it is truly a sight to behold. The plot is not at all complex, and is somewhat predictable, but still very gratifying. I can really find absolutely nothing bad to say about this film. So what are you waiting for? Go see it!!
