I never watched this movie in the cinema back in 2 years ago because everyone keep on told me its not worth to; after watching this movie yesterday, I finally agreed with everyone. Not only that the whole movie has twisted the original story of the fiction, it also sounds kinda ridiculous to me as well. No doubt the graphic and effect is welly done, but the story appeared to be empty and the most important is, this is not the Journey To The West that we have all known...

To be honest, I never read Liang Yu Sheng's novel of this, but others from following the story of the original fiction, to me, this movie is so damn disappointed. First of all, the whole movie is so boring; the make up is so horrible and i don't even know what the heck the movie is trying to say... Its a big failure i should say... No doubt everyone will agree with me that still Bridget Lin & Leslie Cheung version is the best.

Alot of you knows that i'm a big fans of horror movie. This movie was some sort related to one of Beijing haunted house and it was shot in 3D version. The 3D effect might be good, but the story is not that strong for me, feel like something is lacking, its not scary enough for me. What a waste~
