Journey to the West: The Demons Strike Back
Written by Chow, this has some moments of mo lei tau but make no mistake, it's a Tsui Hark flick. It's truer to the book, focusing on the spider demon and red boy chapters. Perhaps that's why I liked it more. I wouldn't recommend it to anyone unfamiliar with the book because no time is wasted on explanation - you need to already know. It's all about the CGI which is spectacular and exhausting in 3D IMAX. I had to keep closing my eyes and taking off my glasses because my eyes were getting sore. Jelly Lin was luminous. Lots of great demonesses. Pig spider sex. The after credit scene was the funniest.
