Majority of people go to movie to enjoy Stephen Chow's signature sense of humor and the mind-blowing special effect, which by the way, is one of the best in China. The movie did live up to their expectation. The highest box office has proved that audience is satisfied.

There are so many hate in this movie here in IMDb, but hater always hate. People nowadays like to compare and expect the best, but then gets easily disappointed more than ever.For me, this movie is a perfect sequel and a must-watch for teens and adults. The recast is not as bad as they say and the actors fit their roles perfectly. The story is unpredictable and humorous with amazing visuals just like the first movie. There's also more CGI, not like GoT or Avengers quality, but better than the first and still satisfying. I really enjoyed the movie and I'm very excited to see what will happen next. The same feelings I had after finishing the first movie, surprised and thrilled. This is my first review and I hope you see this fair and unbiased. Don't believe what others say. Watch the first movie and then give this one a chance. You'll not regret it!

But movie critics may hesitate to see the movie because they think it would be another remake of the classic Chinese traditional folk tale "a journey to west". As it turns out, the movie "a Journey to West: Demon Chapter " is everything but cliché. Based on the novel, the relationships among character had further developed, new screenplay gave those characters more human touch and the movie was able to show another side of main character. Especially by demonstrating the interaction between Tang Seng and The Monkey King, and the flash back of Ms. Duan, the movie has shown us that Tang Seng was not only a determined monk but also a man with emotions and wisdom. Without giving too much details, I have to say that the plot of the movie is exciting and more importantly, surprising. Last but not lease, the actors are also worth mentioning. The way the movie portraits character is unexpected yet amazingly enjoyable, from the artistic style design to the actor selection, especially Tang Seng, Kris Wu has shown that he is more than just a pretty face. All in all, "a Journey to West: Demon Chapter" is a success both in box revenue and among critics.

You need to go in with an open mind. Forget about what you know on the classic "Journey To The West", do not expect the traditional "Journey To The West" movies where Monkey King rules the world. Although some would not like the idea of the Red Kid "Hong Hai Er" in CGI form, but I found it amazing that the character was represented differently and uniquely. The entire city linked very well to his character and reminded me of "Alice in the Wonderland". The idea of this kind of adoption is totally new, in fact, may be unacceptable to many viewers. Tsui Hark has been my all time favorite HK director and though this movie may not be his best, but the concept and idea were refreshing.
