The Monkey King Movie Review
The Monkey King was also a selfish madman, but his lack of charisma made him an unlikable character rather than a real villainous anti-hero. Lin was a typical boring sidekick, which was disappointing because I was hoping to see more character development.
Also, people who don’t know the legend of the Monkey King might be confused by the show’s ending, so maybe they should have explained that a bit better. But overall, the action and Animation were the most entertaining parts of the movie.
