No it was the Dragon and Wicked Witch. Both I think had been emphasized in this one (after all it IS Mirror Mirror not Snow White) so I'm sure HE wants to see it Either that or I'll give it to him for Christmas. BTW this was when he was a kid and it first came out...
I Saw the Devil 4/10 Wretched, overrated Korean serial killer/ revenge movie. I saw it based on strong reviews, most of which are in the ~8/10 range, but it turned out to be terrible. I was dumbfounded from reading user reviews and seeing the term "realistic" pop up over and over. I'm not sure what parallel universe these people live in. There is a scene in which the rogue special agent supercop opens the door of his SUV, burns rubber backing up to collide into something to tear off the door, and then swoops in to grab the serial killer while driving with one arm, escaping 30 cops who were trying to capture the killer. It just kept getting dumber by the minute. The writing and direction were terrible. I'm surprised they screwed things up quite this badly, and I'm perplexed at the high ratings people gave this crapfest. BTW, the lead actor of Oldboy, a movie I loved, is a key character in this movie. Nothing can save it, however. It was terrible.
Lockout Worst. Movie. Ever. (Except for Green Lantern). Unbelievable cheese. Came so close to walking out of the cinema.
i usually take Korean movie reviews with a grain of salt. The only thing that was memorable about this movie was the graphic nature of it. Otherwise both leading actors are much better than this. I generally watch all the stuff Lee byung hyun does and was kind of shocked how bad this one was. It seems Koreans in general love their revenge movies.
I've seen some incredible Korean movies by Ki Duk Kim, Chan Wook Park, and others, but this was definitely not one of them. I'm amazed I even finished this one. I was excited to see Min-Sik Choi and Byung-Hun Lee initially, but man did this ever turn out to be rotten.
@Ichiban Is lockout the one with space jail? Was it worse than Haywire, because Haywire was pretty fucking bad.
Not yet. It's near the top of my list of Korean films to watch, however. I've read that it's pretty good.
That one was pretty good. I liked lee byung hun's taekwondo ass kicking scene in the club at the beginning.
That's the one. It looked cheese in the trailers but to be honest I thought they were deliberately hamming it up in the way Tarantino makes movies that deliberately feel like B-Movies. But I got the impression almost immediately that they were trying to make something serious too. And I can't be sure if it's as bad as Haywire. Haywire is another awful movie but in a different kind of way. Perhaps we could split it and say they occupy the joint top spot for crappest movie of the year.
Did they ever explain why they created space jail? Shooting criminals into space at a time when we can't even afford to put astronauts up there just seems kind of laughable.
I finally got around to going to see Wrath of the Titans last week. Quite an enjoyable film and much better than class. Good seeing how expensive the cinema was where I went as had to get VIP seats.
I didn't really like wrath.. It was only slightly better than clash. Some of the special effects were decent.. but overall it was lacking quite a bit. especially character development.
That describes Clash as well. Looks pretty. Confusing crappy character development. The original was better.
Clash of the titans was arguably the most bland, generic, predictable, and flat out bland fantasy action films I've ever seen. I have zero interest in the sequel.
It was a pretty generic over-CGI'ed crapfest from what I remember. I'm surprised they even made a sequel to be honest. There was nothing memorable about the first one.
From Paris With Love Travolta hams it up to ridiculous levels and it has a lot of over the top action to the point where it ends up feeling more like an action movie from the 90s.
I liked that movie. It was awesome mindless fun. Although i didn't like the way that guy said caroline.
