The Monkey King - Havoc in Heaven's Palace is based on the first seven chapters of the
classic Chinese book Journey to The West. Sun Wukong (The Monkey King) is a monkey
born from a heavenly crystal who acquires supernatural powers on Earth.
The movie was good but it tended to drag in some places; on the upside, however, they
did delve a bit more into the mythology of the Monkey King and how he got punished by
Buddha. In some other movies, like "Journey to the West" (which was a really good
movie, FYI; I highly recommend it) just tell us the the Monkey King just disagreed with
Buddha it gives no more information than that. So it was nice to see the whole story from
the Monkey King's side.
