5.0 out of 5 stars Great Plot, April 12, 2000

By A Customer

If you haven't heard of the story since childhood, you wouldn't know what I mean when I say it has great plot. Though the beginning of the 2nd movie doesn't match the ending of the 1st movie at all, the 2nd one outperforms the 1st one in plot though is weakened in comedy. But the idea of time travel and the ending are good. After the first time I finished watching this movie 5 years ago, I couldn't speak for hours but to think about the movie. It gives you the feeling you get after you watch the Sixth Sense but it's totally different

4.0 out of 5 stars Better than the first..., January 23, 2005

By	Luke - See all my reviews

The second and finale to the Chinese Odyssey adventure has Joker (Stephen Chow) travelling 500 years back via the Pandora's Box to save his designated beloved, Pak Jingjing (Karen Mok, who has died in part 1). Unfortunately (or fortunately) he meets with the Zixia Fairy (played by a ravishing Athena Chu) who's convinced he's the one for her -- although she's also co-possessed by the spirit of her sister, Lin Qingxia (aka Brigitte Lin, in a satiric nod to "Ashes of Time"). It's funnier (though not wackier) than the first instalment, thanks in no part to Law Kar-Ying, who plays the long-winded master, singing a riotous "Only You"; the plot coheres too, in a way which the first part never manages to. Stephen Chow gets to act much more in this film than does the first. The ending is affecting and apt, and Athena Chu is so sweet as to be irrestible; I'm glad that Stephen Chow gets to kiss her in the end.

5.0 out of 5 stars Stephen Chow was born to play Monkey King, September 1, 2006

By	L. Brakeman - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

I bought both these movies because of the rave reviews from Stephen Chow fans. Their biggest drawback: substandard English subtitles. However, the movies pay you back for sticking with them in spite of this.

The first one was kind of tough -- lots of broad physical humor -- a few brilliant Stephen Chow gags. And the second one is connected to the first one in only a haphazard way.

But you really do need to see both of them.

My interest was immediately captured when I realized the actor playing Monkey King was Stephen Chow. He completely inhabits that part and he's just hilarious. Particularly amusing is his troubled relationship with his teacher Tripitaka -- who gets to brilliantly lampoon religious double-speak.

The second movie is just unforgettable. I would love to see Chow play Monkey King in a real film treatment of the original Journey to the West.
