Editor’s note: The Monkey King: Reborn (2021) showcases a well-executed blend of Animation, Action, Fantasy, and Family themes, placing more emphasis on character and mood than sheer visual effects. Under Wang Yunfei’s guidance, the film maintains a consistent pace and a well-defined setting. The voice performances, particularly those by Jiang Bian, Haiting Cai, and Su Shangqing, contribute emotional depth to the narrative. At 1 hour and 35 minutes, the runtime is fitting for the story. Although it has its flaws, the film’s strengths significantly outweigh them. Its tagline, “The ultimate confrontation,” aptly summarizes its core intention. If this premise catches your interest, be sure to add it to your watchlist.
