This film is what would happen if you gave the produces of the Mighty Morphing Power Rangers access to the national defense budget. And lots of liquor.

Every legend has its beginning.
Every country has its Paul W.S. Anderson.
And every nation has its idiots who’ll buy tickets to PWSA movies. Like me.

Maybe the “fun” she was describing was the prospect of suckering of thousands of Americans into giving up their hard-earned money to see this Korean import.

This movie sucked.

I saw this movie in Korea and I just wanted to gag when. I rolled my eyes…I wanted to weep… and became really really annoyed.

My relatives seemed to have taken it pretty well.

The couple that walked out of the movie theatre behind us took it very well, with the girlfriend clapping her hands and telling her boyfriend,”Oh, it was fun, so much fun”–to which I just wanted to bash their little heads together and gag.

PPS I don’t actually recommend watching it.

I recommend Pulgasari, the North Korean monster movie made when Kim Jong Il admired a South Korean director’s work a little too much, so decided to kidnap him and force him to direct a movie about a communist dragon eating feudal landholders.

This may explain why a South Korean director might want to hold back his A game.

PS I have a copy on VHS if you can’t locate it at blockbuster.

I want crack to be successful in South Korea. Not because it’s good, but because it’s so very American.

In South Korea’s defense, it seems like it was commonly accepted that this movie was a piece of crap, despite the heaps of money it made. As one critic said, “[Koreans] want it to be successful in the U.S. because it’s Korean, not because it’s good.”

Sounds like you had a greeaattt Friday night. But thanks for the warning. I’ll skip this one.

Back to the Emmys, which, praise the Lord, is almost over.
