Di Caprio deserves an Oscar for this one
The Wolf of Wall Street was great, unbelievably excessive in its debauchery and it was admittedly lots of fun to watch such incredibly despicable people on screen. It was apparently three hours long but it honestly didn't feel like it at all, so that alone says something. Lots of reviewers were complaining that it glorified Belfort's lifestyle but that seems like kind of a shallow way to view it, you'd have to be pretty morally corrupt to watch it and think that by the end of it, he was a pretty good guy. Thinking that viewers would react like that seems to me to seriously underestimate what your average person's morals are like.
The second half of the show kinda drags a bit - the way Korean shows add scenes that don't add much to the story, and you can tell the scriptwriter changed things to accommodate the TV ratings - but the first half of the story, and some of the side story lines (e.g. Lee Jaekyung conspiracy, and the detectives) make the show worth finishing to the end.
One of the best war movies i have ever seen. Quite a few times it looks like you are watching a Asian version of Saving Private Ryan. The director did an incredible job with the budget he had (12,8 million) to make this movie.
The story, the action and struggle the two brothers have to endure to get back home is perfectly filmed. Most war movies show just one side of the story, but this movie shows both the South and North Korean people and the horrors they endure and give to others.
It's a shame that most people have never even heard of this movie, and that it didn't at least get a nomination for an Oscar. Because this is a movie that really deserved to win and be recognized by a larger audience than the one it has right now.
Shaky camera for the sake of it. The beginning dialogue was as interesting as listening to a real dinner party guests talk chit chat. The Sci-Fi was pretty mediocre but not bad. It felt like they just mentioned quantum physics and theories so then it's supposed to become deeper. Cheap trick.
Great concept, bad camera work and even worse dialogs. In the first 40 minutes the characters behave like idiots and I almost stopped watching the movie, but the second half is pretty good, just keep watching, it's worth it.
Until the discovery of the box is one of the best movies I've ever seen. There was suspense and mystery. Later, it became predictable and banal.
