The Monkey King (2023)
Very disappointed
1. Ugly character designs: usually background characters can be ugly in Hollywood animated films, but this one has ugly main characters, which is a big red flag;
2. The Monkey King has been turned to a dumb evil street thug wannabe, with all the charms of this unique character totally ripped; Monkey in the original work is way smarter, more ambitious and freedom loving.
3. The stick is overpowered but underpowered at the same time: it can do whole lot of cool stuff with Monkey but is omnipotent when it's on its own, WTF?
4. The Dragon-zilla with an obese body is the most cringe of all;
5. Almost every character is now obnoxious with dumb comedy;
6. The subtext of the novel is the irony of religious power and political power, which is completely omitted in this adaptations.
