Noel Murray Los Angeles Times "The Monkey King 3" is more about eye-popping spectacle than narrative sweep, but it's generous with images that make audiences go, "Oooh!" Feb 15, 2018 Full Review Elizabeth Kerr Hollywood Reporter Cheang does his able best to balance a love story with the heightened fantasy action expected of the previous two films, and after a rocky start he largely succeeds. Feb 15, 2018 Full Review Mark Jenkins Washington Post Much of "The Monkey King 3" is devoted to philosophical musing and romantic mooning, the latter cued to a drippy ballad. Rated: 2/4 Feb 15, 2018 Full Review Grant Watson Fiction Machine While the CGI effects may strain a little from time to time, the story and the characters are appealing and enormously entertaining. Rated: 7/10 Oct 17, 2021 Full Review Edmund Lee South China Morning Post Having eschewed the usual depictions of Wukong causing supernatural mayhem, The Monkey King 3 stands or falls on its musings about love in all its forms - and they're largely unsatisfying. Rated: 2.5/5 Feb 19, 2018 Full Review Daniel Eagan Film Journal International A chore to sit through. Feb 16, 2018 Full Review Read all reviews

Kevin M Standard Chinese popcorn movie. Good theme music. Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 09/17/23 Full Review Audience Member Wow this was so bad.like laughably bad. Also a lot of absolute cringe moments in this one (like really wow).What in the world were they thinking. The pacing is the absolute worst part of it though. It went on forever definitely not worth the watch. Rated 1.5 out of 5 stars 02/06/23 Full Review Audience Member Brilliant effects, beautiful eye candy, costumes, humor, and fun-loving silliness. There are some slower moments but the juicy bits more than make up for up. I don't get what caused the low ratings. Some parts of this movie are very funny. Maybe the deeper moments when spirituality conflicted with romance turned some people off? I watched it 3 times to cheer myself up after seeing 1 and 2. Cannot wait for 4,5,6. (please bring back Gong Li and Chow Yun Fat) Rated 5 out of 5 stars 02/07/23 Full Review Audience Member Amazing cast, but what a waste of a good subplot which turned into a movie. No kiss scenes, one-sided love story-line, and we rarely get to see Wukong shine. Rated 2 out of 5 stars 02/21/23 Full Review Audience Member Honestly? I'm flummoxed that the movie franchise has made it this far. It was indubitably the most egregious squandering of my time. Ever. Rated 1 out of 5 stars 02/07/23 Full Review Audience Member the movie has? steered away from the essence of the novel. I find myself unIMPRESSED WITH THE LACK OF CREATIVITY THAT WAS PUT INTO THIS MOVIE. cHILDREN ARE NOT SUITABLE TO WATCH IT. Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 02/04/23 Full Review Read all reviews
