It would have made more sense if this film came out before Kung Fu Hustle. A lot of themes and bits from Kung Fu Hustle are in JttW, only they were done a lot better in Hustle. The knife flicking, the buddha hand, the cartoon antics. It was like he just didn't get them right in this film where he got them perfect in Hustle.
All the scenes seemed to run on too long, especially the first one with the water demon. I kept wondering when the film was actually going to get to the point of actually telling the story.
And a lot of the effects and CGI seemed of a low quality, where the live action didn't mesh very well with the animated bits.
The film needed more monkey king and he needed to be trickier rather just icky. I did like the perfect priest trying to decide if he was important or impotent. But most of the humor was labored.
It was good to see CCL doing something other than talking about Hung Gar and his fans world wide.

So much for the flickr badge idea. Dammit
