Reviews

I didn't want to watch this movie until now because I was afraid that I wouldn't like it as much as the anime, but I can know say that I was wrong, I did like it, and a lot.

It isn't like the drama at all, not the story, not the general background, not the music and not the cast. It isn't the best movie I've ever seen, but it is really funny and entertaining.

A huge plus for me watching this was that I could watch it with a person who isn't into Asian stuff and he still enjoyed it and liked it a lot, so for me this is a funny cute movie that in the ends turns out romantic and anyone can watch.

It doesn't have stupid humour, it isn't overly dramatic, or overly romantic, so it's like for someone who is just looking for some laughs.

The cast was great, I loved Jang Keun Suk on his role, even though it wasn't the original Momo (he acted a lot cuter than MatsuJun, and took the pet stuff to a whole other level) and Kim Ha Neul portrayed really well a succesful woman.

The music was great, it well perfectly well with the scenes happening, and I'll definitely rewatch this, with some friends soon.

A good movie. This phrase basically sums up the hole review.
Lately I have become interested in Yoo Seung Hoo and that was why I picked this movie. Did not expect too much, but it turned out pretty good.
Blind is a thriller, it's not scary but the thrill makes you watch it to the end. The story is catchy, and does not dissapoint you.The characters are well thought and the actors fulfill their job pretty good as well. I also liked the harmony between two main characters/actors. Another plus is probably the setting and the light.The dark aura of the movie somehow takes you into the plot but does not make you feel depressed. Shame that the music was not good enough to support the acting and the story. If the music would be better, I guess the movie would be more succesfull.
If you would like to watch it again? I guess not.
So why am I recommending it? Well If you are bored of cheesy love stories or blood covered thrillers, this your movie, to pass time.
Basically it is a good movie.

PS: I definitely admired the solutions the Koreans have found for disabled people...Two thumbs up...

I can't help but give this movie a rating of 10/10, because it most definitely deserves it!
Definitely being my favourite movie by far - Death Note has a plot like no other, it's so unique and different that you're hooked from the very beginning. The acting throughout the movie is spectacular and Yagami Light and L's characters are so accurate, it seems as if they have been plucked directly out of the manga and thrown onto the big screen.
Immediately after I had finished watching Death Note, I rushed into my sister's room and demanded that she watch it too. I will always recommend this, as I have not yet found anyone who doesn't like this movie.
With a twisting and shocking plot, filled with death gods and murder-solving, you won't be able to take your eyes off the screen!

A Better Tomorrow does have action but I can't say that it is the real draw. Mostly this is due to the action not being shown till the very end. The real story here is the relationship between the main characters. JJM, SSH, and KKW really got to show thier acting chops which surprised me because I thought this was just another action/ crime movie. At times I felt like I was watching a melodrama lol. Really though I love the characters and acting, the story/plot was just average which the long runtime didnt help. The ending was fitting for this type of movie so be prepared. Overall the actors are what carry this movie which makes it a good enough watch. I cant say if id watch it again or not just because the story wasnt bad but it wasnt amazing either. Worth watching once though.

There were no reviews so I thought I would write one. Azumi is a really cool telling of the life of a female shinobi and how she has to constantly prove herself. The character is a very cool and strong girl, who is just finding out what romantic feelings are, dealing with losing her ninja family, betrayal, and revenge. The movie is has some really awesome ninja fighting scenes, great scenery and a bit of gore. Otherwise Ueto Aya is an awesome actress the embodiment of her character - really making you believe this character. Not as long as a drama, but a good watch and there is a sequel!

This movie was cute but forgettable. I wanted to like it and went into it with an open mind. I like Kim Haneul and Jang Geun Suk a lot. I thought they had some chemistry but the extremely choppy editing killed my liking for this movie a lot. I feel like I'm being generous giving it a 6 as it is.

I understand this is based on a manga and there is a Jdrama that precedes it but I still felt like this was a tale that could be told well in a one and a half to two hour span. It wasn't. Sometimes the ending of one scene and the intro to another was so nonsensical and jarring it just threw me out of the moment and this happened more than once.

Again, this film is cute. But lower your expectations before you watch it. If you are a big big fan of Jang Geun Suk you may like this movie a lot. He's got real on screen charm and presence and so does Kim Haneul. Unfortunately, I feel their talent was wasted on poor writing and directing.

There was actually some good music in this film. But good music did not elevate it's quality for me.

My re-watch value is at one because I know I will not watch this film again.

I bought this movie for a dollar when I was like 12 and just because I was all into action asian movies. When I saw the movie I was an expert at this type of movie already and it was similar to others I had seen since there were awesome fighting scenes and music that helped the movie out as well. The beginning of the movie is one of my favorite scenes because the main actress shows how awesome she is and not just here but later on as well. I love movies like this where the female is an awesome weapon specialist or fighter. I like to rewatch the movie because it is an action movie and is very interesting and does not bore you when you watch it again. I might watch it right now after I finish this because writing about it just made me want to watch it again.

Hero is one of my favorite movies since I was 7. When it first came out my dad was the one who rented it and I saw it with him. The brilliant acting skills of Jet Li were a great advantage to the movie. The awesome fighting scenes were beyond words. They leave you speechless. I love the use of vibrant colors and how the story is given by having Namless be the one to tell the story. I keep rewatching this movie every once in a while since I was 7. When I was young I just liked how it had so much action and the colors since I would not finish reading the subs fast enough. And I would see it more I would love the movie more and understand better. The music as well is so calming and thrilling and adds to the spectacularness of the film. I couldn't have thought of another ending for this movie it suits it.

This movie is absolutely perfect in every way. Jackie Chan is awesome in all his movies and this one is not an exception. The movie is filled with action and also makes you laugh a lot. I do not think someone could watch the whole movie without laughing. The fighting scenes are funny and intense. This movie is one of my regulars I love to watch it over and over because its just one of those movies you love to rewatch because you can not forget the funny parts and therefor you want to see it again and see those parts. I think all those who watch it end up falling in love with this movie especially those who love action and comedy.
