  • Oh right Dicky Cheung as monkey king FTW

  • Why do they have to make the pig look so ugly??? I just finished the drama where Leo Ku starred as the pig and this one really does him no good.

  • Too much special effects! Still prefer the old days kung fu movies.

  • I'd have to say this version is by far the best. The costumes are great, for the most part. The editing could be better, but it's still good. The music is fitting. A key component is the exploration of a character through his/her past and emotions. You get to know the characters more in depth. I haven't read the book, but I've seen numerous comments saying that it pretty accurately portrays the actual novel.

  • best version so far

    

  • This looks like shit. The costumes look corny as fuck and it has bad cgi

  • The Karate Kid 2

  • is this a movie or a drama?

  • Is there a way to watch these in the US online for free?

  • @warrencalvoleon

    There are lots of places you can watch it.

    Youku.com, Letv.com, and Tudou.com, to name a few.

    I would provide you with a link, but I'm not sure YouTube allows that.

    When you're on one of the websites, just search "西游记11" and I'm sure it'll give you a list of episodes.

  • Monkey king is the original Son Goku, of course this movie's fight is going to be crazy as dragonball Z

  • Wukong, go!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  • welll I wanna see this!..... i´m anxious about it! wheeeeen is the releaseee I wanna see it completely!!!! tell meeee where I can find it!

  • Fack, I just had an Everygasm! I wonder how far it'll stray from the book(s) and hope someone's gonna sub this ASAP!

  • this mofo better come out in english

  • KAMEHAMEHA!

  • I love the look of it except the super fake CGI :(

    Donnie has always had awesome bo staff skills though so I really hope he can kick some ass with his magic staff as Monkey King!

  • Hong Kong needs to get with WETA!

  • idk the too much graphics makes it not believable anymore. they put too much effort. still love the TVB version.

  • Is this like the TV series Monkey ?

  • The 1986 adaptation is a miserable, horrible piece of feces compared to Zhang Ji Zhong's adaptation, in terms of scope, acting, writing, story depth, costumes, and especially visual effects. The production values are far, far greater than the overrated embarassment that was "produced" 30 years ago. And I know most of you stupid, miserable FUCKS will continue to disagree on account of your pea-sized brains and your pathetic, nostalgic bias towards what was truly a worthless piece of crap.

  • @000FireYinTaoist000

    It's just too bad most people are too FUCKING stupid and deluded by nostalgia and BIAS to appreciate a truly masterful piece of work. Got their heads shoved too far up Liu Xiao Ling Tong's asshole, I reckon.

    As a result, 1986 Journey to the West just skyrocketed to the top of my list of MOST OVERRATED BULLSHIT CRAP EVER, surpassing even the likes of Twilight, Harry Potter, Lost, HBO programming, Call of Duty, Legend of Zelda, and American Idol.

  • @PrinceKrillo

    Apparently the producers of the 1986 version were too stupid to even understand that the "journey" is allegorical, representing an individual's lifelong path towards philosophical enlightenment through contemplation and the gaining of wisdom, as well as the overcoming of hardships, in order to reach a state of intellectual purity. Retrieving the Buddhist scriptures is merely representative of THAT, but I guess that's just too deep for the criminally STUPID to comprehend.

  • In addition, the series is supposed to be a DRAMA, despite the 1986 PISS version having no emotion whatsoever. In Zhang Ji Zhong's adaptation, the characters (be they gods, demons, immortals, or whatever) actually have personalities and actually show EMOTION. Wow! What a FUCKING concept! In addition, there are actually scenes in which Taoist and Buddhist philosophies and principles are explained and explored ... kind of the WHOLE FUCKING POINT OF THE NOVEL.

  • Such a great story, it really deserves great special effects like the ones in Harry Potter movies'. I hope this version will be a good start, other ones I have seen just sucked and so amateurly done.

  • If any one says Sun Wukong riped off GOKU iam going to be pissed

  • @MultiUnspoken nope their dum if they say that cuz if it wasnt 4 him goku wouldn't exist...thus dragonball would not either....and the rest of the animes...lol domino effect

  • @MultiUnspoken lol.Same here

  • Well the CGI quality is a bit better this time. Make-up is good especially the demons. I like all the lady demons portrayal in these version. Only the ending is abit too short and the custime for the monk is not to my liking. My opinion only. Bought the DVD set - could not stand it from the TV cause some jokers keep popping up singing happy birthday at all the advertisement intervals. Irritating as hell.

  • @tsanlc I agree it will be more realistic than other versions.Although through this trailer the series seems like it will be a SERIOUS version.The 1996 version the pig was hilarious,Im hoping there will be comedy in this series.

  • SOOOO FUCKING HOT,LOL!!!

  • I got the strange feeling that I just saw the whole movie just now...

  • This one look good, I hope it can surpass the TV series from 1996.

  • @searadragon NO wayyy.No one can surpass dicky chueng as the monkey king.I love the 1996 series more than the original.

  • I consider the 1986 film the best in portraying the Monkey King

  • Yo! When is this film coming out?

  • Man, does the Monkey King get uglier as time goes by or something?

  • Nice graphics, but Dicky Cheung is the best Goku of all times

  • Do you know when it will come to the US? Man, I can't wait. Looks sick as hell.

  • When will this movie be release??

  • @Ticker858 It has already been released in China. and this is not a movie it is a serials.

  • And at the end?

  • Anybody know the name of the song played at the beginning?

  • Jet Li was the monkey king too

  • why is the monk always looks surprised or freaked out?! lol...Bald bitch!

  • Where's Stephen Chow and his hot girlfriend?

  • cheapskate graphics again...

    

  • ไทยๆๆๆๆๆๆๆๆๆๆๆๆๆๆๆๆๆๆๆๆ

  • I think the effects look pretty damn good for HK.

    I'm impressed 

  • The effects look so cheesy for a 2011 film, I'd rather stick to the original serie

  • taperi5

    This is a legend lol its really famous to us like u know Chinese Vietnam and idk if Japan I know this because I'm asain and Vietnamese soo I've watched this kind of movie before the same story just bad quality hehehe ;)

  • this looks like league of legends..

  • Wow cant wait..(sacarsticaly)

  • nope last time it was jet li on some monkey bizz lol

  • monkey kings gotta hav CG. but this one's quality looks better than most journey to the west movie/series CGs. like it :]

  • Isn't Donnie the Monkey King? Read an article that said he was one of the 4 main characters.

  • IMDB gives this show a 5.5, so don't expect much from it.

  • this drama is out already n donnie isn not in there

  • The Monkey King really inspires me. And if i could ever turn Fantasy into Reality, this is how i picture my Journey of Integrity...

  • Comment removed

  • so much CG..... hope the series wont get ruined by the fake looking CGs like some of the recent remakes.

  • :D now in cambodian starting i like it 100%

  • I want to watch

  • wait wait doonie yen is going to be the monkey king..................OH SHIIIIITTTT i can't wait.....NOOO 2012 noooo the world going to explode by then NOOOOOOO wat a cruel world. But still i can't wait damn i didn't even know. the last time i saw monkey king was when stephen chow was in it.

  • @itzAcutie You'll be surprised to find out that Stephen Chow will also be releasing New Chinese Odyssey in 2012. Still unknown whether Stephen will play the monkey king. So it will be Donnies Monkey King Vs Stephen Chows Monkey King in 2012.....lots of monkeys.

  • @ShaolinSai damn there will be so many monkeys movie coming out.. same old story line but you know what I still watch all of them..

  • @itzAcutie every 12 years you get the shit scared out of you, just like 12 years earlier it was Y2K remember?

  • Dam I want to watch this :D I love Sun Wukong :D He's freaken Epic :D

  • is this drama out yet? with eng sub?

  • Too cool.

  • I think many will agree with me that Stephen Chow's film in two parts of the Monkey King story was one of the most beautifully scripted and mentally stimulating version I've seen with all it's twists and turns. Titled "Pandora Box", I was truly amazed by the tight production and effects that were incorporated in the film. The direction and wonderful cast and the comedy got me to love it that I watched it several times. To me it was quite a memorable film especially for the holidays.

  • This is far awesome than that gay harry potter with a wand and their flying sequences look amateur compared to this film's stunts and acrobatics. The story here is even more interesting considering that it dates back to China's ancient times. Harry potter can be summed up like this: How to get a wimpy revenge by going to school and waving a gay wand. LOL! On the other hand, "Journey to the West" is a great adventure story the likes of 300 and Immortals.

  • Is this getting a UK release?

  • damm there are alot of journey to the west but i think this one is the best

  • whoa! this is awesome for a tv series - usually, visual effects would be found in a motion picture but this is wow! :D

  • TV Drama series

  • damn....i still remember watching the cartoon version wen i was 4...now technology is so great that they made a new version that looks soo cool!! i wanna watch it...does anyone kno where i can find it?

  • @lovealecsuforever lol just type it in chinese and add 2011, its the first one, i think the link above this one

  • Ooh nice I wanna see this, I grew up with the 80ies japanese Monkey Magic. Hanuman aka Sun Wukong the hindu Monkey God!

  • This look like a thriller o.O

  • Thumbs up if title made you think the movie was about Asians going to Europe

  • hmm, but where's the funky?

  • This is the taiwan version, great special effect but it a very crap series.

  • @starkness65 not a taiwan version. Actually it is just a new series by 张纪中。

  • doesn't look to hot. And stephen chow's version tops this one.

  • No its not Donnie Yen but I'll take Monkey King any way I can get it. That doesn't sound right does it? =p

  • WTF. Where,s Donnie ????????

  • @dj13calli Next year dude

  • @dj13calli Wrong one. Donnie is in "the Monkey King"

  • Monkey King, the Real Son Goku

  • after seein' this you cant tell me they cant make a legit dbz movie....

  • 3D need more work... it is way sub par...

  • Oolong?! How can there be Oolong with no Bulma to punch his head.

  • It has too much CGI going on... not very appealing.

  • Fuck, now this is the REAL Goku.

  • anyone know, what is the soundtrack title of this movie?

  • release date ?

  • i watched this , super boring...=O

  • kinda to much computer graphic

  • FUCKING BADD ASSS! I grew up with this !!

  • please have sub tile for english cause i want to watch it so bad.. i don't know chinese and thai...English..English...plea­se

  • meh this is a tv series, so the graphic won't be as good as like .. a movie.. make sense..anyone?

  • the monkey is ugly....

  • Ummm. correct me if im mistaken, is this the source material for Dragonball?

  • @OhhCow Yes. Goku is Sun Wu Kong.

  • @OhhCow yep

  • pretty good for a chinese TV series i guess :3

  • sounds like animation..too fake

  • What the fuck was that??!!

  • god damn!! i wished i lived in china! just to watch tv!

  • CGI looks horrible. It looks like the quality you'd see on the Sci Fi Channel.

  • this was the insiration to start the hit seires dragonball

  • is this show release or not?

  • better graphics than then best (1986 version) but the Pig looks scary, the monkey is not as great either. overal, I still want to watch it all over.

  • I used to watch the really old Journey to the West series when I was little. I loved it. It was one of my favorites~ :D This brings back memories

  • This looks terrible. I would like for it to be good, but I am not convinced.

  • @purvicide this looks terrible?! let me guess either you havent watched to first one or your favorite is the dicky who plays the mockey.

  • @iiluvkisses I'm speaking in terms of effects, but I guess they did the best they could. NOT GOOD ENOUGH! Somebody give Jim Henson's people something to do rather than resort to second rate CGI.

  • @purvicide I guess. have you seen the 2010 journey to the west? Made by China I am watching it now really good, monckey is pretty good too the serie is more detailed than the first one but by no means better.

  • the trailer reminds me of a game, diablo

  • It seems like a long movie.

  • now! these guys shuld"ve directed the "THE LAST AIRBENDER"

  • Stephen Chow the #1 best monkey King, Jet Li the 2nd best monkey king, 3rd best monkey king is Dicky Cheung.

  • WHY can't we just leave the old movie as it is? Why do we need a remake? C'mon the new one looks so retarded.

  • I would like to see dicky cheung in new series the man who made monkey king famous.

  • is this the one with donnie yen as monkey king

  • @shabobbybob No, Donnie's one is a movie and coming in 2012 summer

  • @ShaolinSai : Is the one with Donnie Yen as Sun-Wukong that coming in 2012 is the same that Stephen Chow is directing (apparently there an other journey to the west movie directed by him,according to IMDB and wikipedia) ?

  • @SonicUnderground316 no man, Chow's version will be different from Yen's version. Chow's version will be a comedy as always. I'm looking forward for 2 version !!

  • @ShaolinSai holy shit, donnie yen with monkey kind?! epic summer!!

  • Looks like they did some really visually impressive things with the limited budget. The effects are hit or miss but still very imaginative. Nice.

  • TOO much but excited

  • some serious improvement in the chinese series !!

  • I am loving this incarnation of journey to the west. It captures the more demonic side that the epic wash trying to capture. I dont know where I could watch it though.

  • WTF they look hella scary!

  • now i know how "planet of the apes" idea came about ! :P

  • When is it coming out?????? please let me know

  • WOW! love the monkey king I read the book years ago twice hahaha and saw the tv series as well as the 2010 movie I can't wait to see this one looks good

  • its wukong!

  • Sign me up NOW!!!

  • where do you watch it?

  • when will it be out??

  • Are there any tv series critics in China? If so, they are quite lousy as all the series produced by China are stupid, garralous, and boring. Their main emphasis has always been speacial effects and nothing else - no direction, acting, script, or artistry.

  • Is this in english or with english subs?

  • I have watched this serial . Its is awsome . Many episodes are better than the old serial

  • อยากดูมากๆๆ  มีที่โหลดบิตไหมครับ

  • I'm pretty excited for this because in my opinion this is the closest looking monkey king to ling tong, and it look pretty good. dicky cheung was just shit... just my opinion...

  • it will comes out in Europe also?

  • Coi trailer nhìn chuẩn mà coi fim xong!!!! thì vẫn cần fải chỉnh :(

  • สุดยอด น่าดูมาก จะมีโอกาสเข้าไทยป่าวน้อ

  • ‪2011 新西游记 EP01 (New Journey to the West)

  • Ok im watching this series right now and admitteedly, there were come cheesy cgi especially from ep 1=12. The storyline is pretty close tothe novel but didn't start off as strong as I expected it to be which was my only letdown. Apart from that from eps 12 onwards, the series became more exciting and watchable.

  • @ShaolinSai is there any websites where i can watch this on the internet?

  • @kanumber1 All the eps are on youtube. Search 张纪中版西游记 and you will find it

  • @ShaolinSai any reproduction list bro???

    and thanks for the tip

  • Comment removed

  • @ShaolinSai i noticed that there is also a 2010 version. kind of weird that they would release two series of the same novel back-to-back like this.

  • @Xytos There was a 2009 version which was aired in 2010 but this 2011 version has been in production for a long time. I hope there won't be anymore remakes soon.

  • I HONESTLY LOVE TO SEE HOW MANY ASSHOLES THERE ARE OUT THERE TROLLING THEIR SONG: "CHEAP EFFECTS! FAKE! LAMEASS" AS WELL AS MANY OTHER PATHETIC WORDS!

    THOSE ARE THE SAME L O S E R S THAT CAN'T GET A DATE, STILL VIRGIN, UNEMPLOYED AND MOSTLY WITHOUT ANY FRIENDS. I FEEL SORRY FOR YOU MAGGOTS... DO YOURSELVES A FAVOUR AND JUMP FROM A 40 STOREY BUILDING.... AS YOU FALL LOOK FOR THE BLUE SCREEN TOO!

    WORMPISS: SINCE YOU KNOW SO MUCH ABOUT MAKING MOVIES, MAYBE YOU SHOULD TEACH US HOW TO DO IT RIGH

  • Goku!

  • Cool
