Not entirely terrible I'd say. Kinda weak script, not the best editing and stuff like that but overall... ok for a low-budget SciFi movie. See it as a 1 1/2 hour non-interactive video game and don't expect anything too groundbreaking.
Wow... I don't even know what to say. Was that ending really for real? Or was this all just a cruel joke or a fever dream? If it is for real, this might be one of the "most backwards movie's" I have ever seen. I mean sure, it's 1959 in South Korea but for crying out loud....
A weird mix of slapstick and more serious notes that didn't go all too well with me, some shoddy editing in places, some CGI that could've needed a few Yuan more in the budget and parts of the soundtrack that sounded like they were recorded in a bathtub.
But overall probably not the worst chinese movie in recent times, enjoyable if you don't expect some Jackie Chan masterpiece of which there are pretty much non these days.
Hah, loved it. Quite a refreshing take on the mocumentary genre if you can even call it that, just don't take it seriously in any way and have fun with it. :D
I don't think I've ever seen such an intense explosion sequence in any movie ever, incredible. Also everything else was way above par, pretty good movie with some solid performances - well worth the view.
I totally lost it when it was revealed that Chihaya had been speaking on Arata's mailbox all that time... cried my eyes out.
What a wonderful 2-parter - what a joy!
Dope ass soundtrack, semi decent tech-fu that so many other movie's and TV show's completely fail at... yeah, certainly an enjoyable ride.
Quite the hilarious political comedy with lots of cultural clashing, well worth a watch and a shame that it's completely under the radar.
An Apple a day keeps the doctor away~
(Man, Laurence Leboeuf is gorgeous - nuff said.)
I mean, I expected this to be bad going into it but this... this was something else.
Ah bummer, I did enjoy the first movie quite a lot but this...? This just wasn't funny at all to me. It just felt like a 2 hour long Family Guy episode, and a pretty bad one at that. The only time I laughed out loud was the part were they suggested depressing things to the comedy improv guys. :/
I guess I've seen a different documentary than jontstaz, since I didn't notice anything glorifying meaningless killing in this. So much glory in this, grown man crying after their friends have been shot, blowing up kids and innocents by accident, them dancing and having fun to silly eurobeat songs, living for months in utter shitholes... yeah, so much glory, so much 'murica.
It's a shocking display of reality rather... the complete opposite of glorifying and what not. Condemning this because of 2 lines uttered by a soldier after he got "revenge" for shit that happened to their friends before? That's just silly. You wouldn't wish to be in their shoes and go through the same crap.
Still loved it. So entertaining, colourful and creative that I can easily stomach the "brute force cute" they are putting on sometimes. MAYBE not as good as the first one but I still had a lot of fun, lots of laughs and all that. :]
Still one of my favourite chinese fairytales even if it's been ripped to shreds elsewhere.
Yes, some of the CGI, esp. in the beginning, may be incredibly bad but there are such beautiful and imaginative scenes in this movie that might take your breath away.
After rewatching it today I still believe that besides all it's flaws it's just an entertaining and mesmerizing picture.
It's really not a good sign when I fall semi asleep while watching an action movie. o_O
Sure, there was a whole lot of damage done, esp. in the car chase but beside that it was so ridiculously stupid, riddled with bad plot and story points and overall just a pretty bad movie.
Hands down the worst of the Die Hard franchise.
Haha, what a silly movie. But honestly? I felt pretty entertained. Some really nice and mindless action which made me laugh out loud a few times. As said by others before, nothing you'd watch again but if you like action movies, nothing you would turn off half way through the movie either.
That said, I love Kim Jee-woon's Korean movies and this certainly was not up to his usual high standards, but I guess he made the best out of rather crappy material to begin with and his hand certainly shows. Arnie was fun as the old law man but it gets old rather quickly.
Lets see what Kim Jee-woon and also Arnie deliver next.
Not worse than the original but just as bad.
Fantastic! Enjoyed every minute of it. Great characters, perfect voice cast, beautiful and oh-so-colorful visuals and least but not least a nice soundtrack. Yay. (and wow, to hear AKB48 in the movie and outro, amazing)
Pretty neat remake or rather new adaptation of the comic! And Olivia Thirlby.
asdfgjhkl Certainly one of my favourite animated movies! All those wacky ideas, the whole art design... fantastic!
