Review of Journey to the West (2014) by Glenn H — 11 Mar 2017

I'm amazed just how much I am enjoying this film. It is stupid-funny (I find myself laughing well after the joke is over), visually stunning, ridiculous, crazy, goofy, and yet more imaginative and clever than anything I've seen from China.

The situational humor is really well done and the left and right turns this movie makes keeps it fresh and unpredictable. No matter how many movies you have seen, you have never seen anything like this before.

If you don't like silly humor and are too rooted in reality to let go now and then, this is not a story or style for you. But this hooked me before I was even aware I was totally enjoying it. I watch a wide variety of genres but this one may take the cake for eye-popping, goof-ball, escapism.
