Journey to the West: 2013

Journey to the West (2013) Poster

Holy Wow!  This was pretty bizarre but man, it became pretty darn funny and was so good that I had to watch it again with the kids.  It was all subtitles and I believe that there were some liberties taken but they were well done.  This was a funny movie and it even got my wife to sit and watch.  Good deal. 

The acting was over the top but consistent so therefore it was good. The directing was consistent and did a good job of capturing some funny moments and enhancing them.  Scenes of the rookie demon hunter and his teacher running from a shop keeper becuase they stole a goose leg from her stand were straight out of "A Funny Thing Happened on the Way to the Forum - 1966.  Buster Keaton all over that one.

Cinematography was good, music was good, directing, acting, and script...well, can 't really comment on the script but this is/was a good one!
