I have seen The Book of Fish.
I was initially into it, but the last third of the film lost me.

A little late to the game here---- but I finally got around to watching "Train To Busan" with my daughter tonight. I really liked it.... my daughter thought the zombies were good actors, so I told her she needed to watch "The Kingdom", because I thought those zombies were way better....

I have finally watched Hansan.
I found it kinda underwhelming.
Maybe it’s because I’m too used to watching these kinds of movies so it’s become more difficult to impress, but regardless, the first half of the film prior to the actual battle was a slog to sit through. The film also had the audacity to repeat certain gimmicks and scenarios in the last film.
Not to mention I don’t feel the new actor playing Yi Soon Shin has much of a presence.

Not to mention I don’t feel the new actor playing Yi Soon Shin has much of a presence. His other movie(not a historical) that was in theater 2 months before YSS came out was much better movie in my opinion. Personally recommend this movie. It's directed by Park Chan-Wook, one of the top directors in Korean film industry. |
