The Monkey King 2 just opened last weekend in the theaters, released for the Chinese New Year the box office did not immediately recover the initial investments.
The movie overall visually good, although it's still a little glaring when figures are chroma-keyed into vast outdoor backgrounds, the overall visual effects, 3D quality and creature design are all impressive, considering the massive scale on which they're deployed. Daniel Fu's tastefully ornate production design revels in embossed gold surfaces inside the palace chambers; the building exteriors, with their piercing spires and minarets, feel more Middle-earth than Middle Kingdom.
