As far as the movie itself is concerned, there is nothing so addictive. It lasts one hour and twenty-four minutes, and it shouldn't be considered a big production in the film works of the past two decades.
Watching an adapted movie always compares the movie with the original. This is the fate of an adapted movie. No one can change it. Most of them cannot surpass the original, but can only get close to the original infinitely. The occasional works that surpass the original are mostly such a few. Reasons: First, the vast majority of people have not read the original work, because they watched the movie or TV series with preconceived ideas, they were brought to the rhythm by the film and television works, and could no longer accept the original work. I personally think that Journey to the West is the most typical representative. Second, the screenwriter has carried out a second creation, and the second creation is integrated into the factors of the times, which is in line with the aesthetic and psychological needs of people in the new era. This transcendence is often based on the first reason. If the editor has real skills, even In the future, people who read the original work will recognize the adaptation of the adaptor, and a new classic will be produced; if the adaptor is not good enough, he just borrows people's "illiterate" style, even if he is on Qingyun for a while, the classics will probably not last long. The classic of such works is still Journey to the West, and anyone who has read the original Journey to the West understands it.
