Well, I will just start by saying that "The Tales of Wu Kong" (aka "Wu Kong") turned out to be a really enjoyable movie. But mind you, you must have some interest in Chinese mythology to properly enjoy the movie for what it had to offer.
I hadn't even heard about this 2017 movie from writers Hai Huang, Hezai Jin, Chi-Kin Kwok, Fan Wenwen and Henri Wong before now in 2020 when I actually sat down to watch it. And I was definitely impressed with what the movie turned out to be.
The storyline is centered around the myth of the Monkey King, and it is actually a well-told and well-written storyline that provided good entertainment from start to end.
And with a cast ensemble that included the likes of Eddie Peng and Shawn Yue, to mention but the most outstanding performers, the audience is definitely in for a treat.
"Wu Kong" had spectacular visual effects and CGI. And these effects were every bit as bedazzling as they were great in bringing the events out to life on the screen. I have to admit that I was really impressed with the CGI and the level of details, especially since it looked so realistic and cool.
The movie offers a bit of everything, ranging from drama, character development, romance and martial arts. So there definitely is something for just about anyone in the audience.
My rating of "Wu Kong" lands on a seven out of ten stars. I was more than genuinely entertained and pleased with this movie. And if you have the chance to watch the 2017 "Wu Kong" movie, by all means do it.
