Entertainment Reviews:
Supernatural beings repeatedly attack the heroes of THE MONKEY KING 3, but love, not war, is the principal threat in this CGI-heavy Chinese adventure.
Washington Post
Once again, talented director Soi Cheang applies his knack for purely visual storytelling to an effects-heavy production.
Los Angeles Times
A chore to sit through.

Film Journal International
"The Monkey King 3" is more about eye-popping spectacle than narrative sweep, but it's generous with images that make audiences go, "Oooh!"

Rating: 2.5/5 --
Having eschewed the usual depictions of Wukong causing supernatural mayhem, The Monkey King 3 stands or falls on its musings about love in all its forms - and they're largely unsatisfying.

Rating: 2/4 --
Much of "The Monkey King 3" is devoted to philosophical musing and romantic mooning, the latter cued to a drippy ballad.

Washington Post
Cheang does his able best to balance a love story with the heightened fantasy action expected of the previous two films, and after a rocky start he largely succeeds.

Product Description:
The Monkey King (Aaron Kwok) and his men travel through female-ruled territory, where the Queen (Liying Zhao) orders their capture so they will not destroy her land. The group use magic to break free, but a powerful river god becomes irate at their actions and threatens to wreak havoc. The third installment in this fantasy series was directed by Soi Cheang.
