Boring, brooding, overly sentimental melodrama. There isn't much investigation, mystery or thrill to this story, just a product of its times, an expression of naive and by 2024 outdated sentiments that friendship and brotherhood between north and south korea is possible.
The soldiers failed to earn my sympathy, their friendship was mostly cringy and their actions were illogical. The acting was also not that great, especially from non koreans, and delivery of english lines felt forced and unnatural.
The only good thing I got from this movie was seeing all these famous actors when they were younger then what I'm used to. Still, casting an overweight guy as north korean soldier was rather mismatched.
the shaman is in team with Japanese man . Japanese man is demon that the shaman created the mysterious girl is…
How did the mysterious girl's explanation work regarding why the mc's family was targeted, what was her plan in snaring the demon, and why didn't she explain everything clearly to the mc from the beginning? What was the point of showing a ritual simultaneously affecting both the japanese man and the little girl other then to confuse the viewers? What about other people who were randomly killed left and right without much ceremony? What was the entire thing about psychedelic mushrooms about, why did the victims have a lot of it in their blood?
Spoiled by characters doing stupid things, getting scared of nothing, not communicating properly and running in circles for most of the movie. This applies not only to "good guys" but also to "bad guys", the entire plot makes little sense when considered from bad guys perspective as well. Clearly the focus here was to throw plot twists at the audience without much logic binding them together.
Ultimately the movie is more confusing then scary. What made me keep watching is desire to solve the underlying mystery behind it all, only to have a messed up ending that provided more questions then answers. Thus the movie fails as both horror and mystery, but thanks to good cinematography and direction succeeds at giving some one time thrills.
I haven’t posted any review of QOT since it ended ٭*٭ MINI REVIEW OF QOT 24 ❥❥❥❥I really enjoyed watching…
me neither, it got so many reviews I doubt I would say anything that wasn't said or that would even be noticed under the influx of all these reviews (let's be honest, some of these reviews already had hundreds of upvotes even before the drama finished airing, probably from friends or alts of people who write reviews like their life depends on it)
I'm about 2/3 of the way through and am taking a break. Bored. And if you can make the Battle of Iwo Jima boring,…
Because you fail to understand the value of this movie, you probably wanted lotsa action and explosions.
I see you have dead putin in your profile picture, so I assume you follow ukraine war. What these soldiers here came through is not much different from what ukrainian soldiers suffer from on the frontline as we speak, it's not hard to imagine what soldiers trapped at Azovstal factory, Avdiivka or perhaps fighting in Bakhmut (on both sides, actually) experienced after watching this movie.
As you wrote this comment two years ago, I can only hope you grew wiser since then.
combine "samurai warriors" with "basilisk kouga ninpou chou" and you will get this cursed, ahistorical abomination of the movie which only saving grace are obviously high production values, direction and acting.
All wasted on trash "story" portraying historical characters as exaggerated caricatures straight out of samurai warriros so if you played that you know what to expect (mitsunari obsessed with justice, sakon being a cynical war veteran with scars on his face, etc. ), ninja with superhuman abilities who seem like they came from a shounen manga, and all kinda events that simply speaking never happened (starting with the beginning scene where hideyoshi met mitsunari as a child in a temple, when in reality he first met mitsunari when he was already 18).
the minor was an actress who had sex with him in exchange for getting a role in some drama or movie. It's only considered a rape because she was less then 20 year old at the time.
