I know this may be stupid but...


Flicks; we all have one that we absolutely love, and for me, although there are many great classic movies, which i love and will always remember, i would have to say this is possibly my favourite movie.

I realize that this isn't a movie masterpiece, nor will it be a timeless classic, but i enjoyed it more than any other film i can remember; perhaps it just fits my style! I suppose you could say its my guilty pleasure. If i was to say films i prefer it would only be picked at the post by Goodfellas + Dead man's Shoes.

So i suppose this comes down to what i often have to contend with when i rate a film, do i rate with a critical eye, or through enjoyment factor, because for the latter this would be a 10 * film!

I enjoyed it quite much although I thought that Jung Woo-sung's performance was horrid as usual, but the rest (stunts, specials, the filming, colours, etc) was done very well. Usually I'm not that superficial to cast aside that I didn't like both main characters, but with this film it worked.
Guilty pleasure is the perfect phrase

Like Dororo this movie caught me and I was sucked in.
No its not great, however it was refreshing and moved nice.
With another 20 minutes of back story it could have been great.

Anyone have any suggestions for good fantasy movies like this?
I have seen
The Promise
Ye Yan
Musa
and the most popular.

I know this is a super old post and I hope you've been able to find more movies like this since, but I also love these kinds of movies I can name a few but here's a couple:

Goemon
House Of Flying Daggers
Kung Fu Hustle (which is so entertaining)
Dororo (which was mentioned)

....and I can list more if anybody happens to stumble upon this & is interested (^^*)













I can picture a world without war or hate & us attacking that world because they'd never expect it
