Noel Murray Los Angeles Times 02/15/2018
"The Monkey King 3" is more about eye-popping spectacle than narrative sweep, but it's generous with images that make audiences go, "Oooh!" Go to Full Review Elizabeth Kerr The Hollywood Reporter 02/15/2018
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. Go to Full Review Mark Jenkins Washington Post 02/15/2018
2/4
Much of "The Monkey King 3" is devoted to philosophical musing and romantic mooning, the latter cued to a drippy ballad. Go to Full Review Grant Watson Fiction Machine 10/17/2021
7/10
While the CGI effects may strain a little from time to time, the story and the characters are appealing and enormously entertaining. Go to Full Review Edmund Lee South China Morning Post 02/19/2018
2.5/5
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. Go to Full Review Daniel Eagan Film Journal International 02/16/2018

03/26/2020 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. See more 02/03/2020 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) See more 07/06/2018 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. See more 06/14/2018 Honestly? I'm flummoxed that the movie franchise has made it this far. It was indubitably the most egregious squandering of my time. Ever. See more 03/07/2018 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. See more 02/27/2018 Professional critics appear to be obviously backlashing politically via a popular boring trend involving certain cultures etc! This movie is a popcorn ?? blast! The Black Panther would find his himself in deep trouble if he had to battle against THE AWESOME MONKEY KING too much fun here! Nuff said!!! See more Read all reviews
