However, after the poster and trailer of "Monkey King" were released, Monkey King's appearance caused some controversy. Some netizens think that it looks like a horse like a donkey, just not like a monkey; Or criticize this monkey for not looking good, anyway, it is not associated with "beauty", the classic IP of "Monkey King" has been filmed in many movies, maybe Stephen Chow just wants to make the monkey mentioned in the trailer different.
