Rotten Tomatoes® Score
The kid friendly comical martial arts film draws only a smattering of laughs.
This tension between tradition and subversion results in a curiously unstable film; easy enough to watch in the moment, but unnaturally slippery in meaning.
Mildly entertaining with dazzling visual spectacle, but more silly, exhausting and outrageous rather than fun or funny.
impressive effects, feeble laughs, incoherent story
This time round, though, there's more high-spirited whimsy than laugh-out-loud humour.
Blockbuster sequel to Stephen Chow's Conquering the Demons has more action than comedy.
If anything, Demons Strike Back is an even zanier and more kid-friendly affair than the Chow original. Yet without Chow's unique strain of silliness, it also feels louder and more antic while covering less ground.
A madcap success on its own bizarre terms and an informative distillation of each auteur's sensibility.
A rare character-driven big-budget action-adventure - the kind of thing Americans might love if they knew it existed.
All spectacle and little substance, a stop-gap title produced perhaps to keep the brand going while the producers search for a way to bring the series forward.

Few stories in the history of the world are as famous or have been told as many times as the tale of Sun Wukong. In fact, a new adaptation of the story, Black Myth: Wukong , is currently taking the world by storm, racking up record-breaking numbers on Steam . The game is a gorgeous retelling of the Chinese legend, complete with some of the best action-RPG gameplay of the year so far. But if playing the game has left you curious about the other ways this particular legend has been told, there are plenty of movies that fit the bill.
We’ve collected a list of some of the best retellings of the Sun Wukong legend, as well as a few other movies that make a perfect thematic match for Black Myth, so you can stay in this legendary world long after you’ve finished the game.

What it is: Chow wasn’t content with just one Journey to the West adaptation – after starring in A Chinese Odyssey , he directed Conquering the Demons and it’s sequel, The Demons Strike Back . As usual for Chow’s movies, it balances slapstick humor and big set pieces for an entertaining time.

What it is: Director Soi Cheang’s ( SPL 2: A Time for Consequences; Twilight of the Warriors: Walled In ) trilogy of Sun Wukong movies. The first stars Donnie Yen, while the latter two star Aaron Kwok.
