The Monkey King (2022)

What if the Monkey King escaped the Five Finger mountain a 100 years earlier while still holding bit of a grudge towards the Heavens? Well, through this movie you're about to find out about it.

A-yi had been searching for the Great Sage to help her to ascend to Heaven to report the crimes of the Eastern Dragon who killed her parents. And by some mysterious reasons, A-yi's blood had power to break the seal on the Great Sage to kept him confined in Wuzhi mountain for 400 years. Yet, considering the Great Sage's temperament... why would he so easily agree to help A-yi? His grudge is still so deep and Wukong still harbour the attention to retaliate against the Heavens while not caring how his actions may reflect towards his fellow monkey retainers as well as demon friends.

It's a nice journey as we get to see how Wukong gradually start to warm out to A-yi's presence beside him and how A-yi start to slowly calm the wild fire inside him and telling him not to kill recklessly. And it was interesting to see how the relationship between Wukong and A-yi would lead towards the future where the Great Sage would meet with Monk Tang Sanzang. I especially love the plot twist near the end after everything regarding A-yi's matter with the Long Dragon was resolved.
