Monkey King 3 ( 2018 )
The Monkey King trilogy ends with this excellent film. My understanding is tat the stories picked for the three movies are the most popular chapters from the novel. But it makes no sense to end on a trilogy that does not cover the conclusion of the epic story it is telling. A couple of other complaints. The previous film ended on a sort of cliffhanger with the Buddhist monk the Monkey King was escorting to the West turned to stone in a sort of cliffhanger. This movie picks up several chapters later, so no explanation as to how the cliffhanger was resolved, or why the monk is once again flesh and blood. My other complaint is that in this film the Monk is the center of the story while the Monkey King is relegated to supporting character. Otherwise, a thrilling CGI adventure.
Licence To Kill ( 1989 )
Like I said, my all time favorite James Bond film. Eon had finally worked out a deal that allowed them to make Bond films that were not adaptions of the books. You can tell that it was heavily influenced by Die Hard ( 1988 )
