http://www.indy.com/posts/7219 en-us miriam A classic example of a reviewer who is unhappy because it's not the movie he would have made. This is foremost a fantasy film, in particular a Chinese fantasy story, and it actually follows the conventions of Hong Kong fantasy very nicely. CGI is completely appropriate to a Fantasy, or does Manning object to the help superheroes get in the familiar American stories? If he can explain why a journey into the mythical Middle Kingdom of ancient China to rescue a Monkey King should have 'realistic' Kung fu I would be happy to listen. He can have his street fighting Kung fu if that's what he likes but he should evaluate this movie for what it is, a Fantasy with martial arts. It's really a lot of fun, particularly if you've seen some of the Hong Kong originals which have inspired it or know the Journey to the West tales of the Monkey King. Jet Li as the Monkey King is fantastic. This is a very entertaining fantasy adventure which should be widely enjoyed and is highly recommended for family viewing.
