The movie is a wonderful experience, for Buddhists and for the general public that is able to enjoy fantastic stories.
It is about the first part of a very long story of the monkey god Wukong, a very powerful entity that used to annoy meditation practitioners at Buddha's time.
The special effects are above average and the overall experience, too.
There's a lot of action and funny moments, also. Nevertheless, I don't think that's a movie for children, after all. Please, don't listen to the bad reviews, they really aren't fit for this kind of movie.
Enjoy, being or not a Buddhist.
