The Monkey King (2014)

Post by Beat TG »

Starring Donnie Yen, Chow Yun-Fat, Aaron Kwok, and directed by Soi Cheang (Dog Bite Dog, Accident, Motorway). Currently killing the Chinese BO, with an insane 1.1 billion yuan income in just two weeks. Reviews have been mixed though, mostly bad ones.

Too much CGI for my taste I think. Im more looking forward to the Don's upcoming contempo action flicks.

Look out for Last of the Best/Kung Fu Killer set for release in August and Dragon City which will start shooting very soon. Not sure how you feel about the Iceman Cometh remake but that one is coming out on April 4, with a second part due for release in Christmas.
