YouHeart I gave it a 7.5 out of 10

SincereFinest disgusting, overrated, pointless

Murphy Howard I enjoyed watching this film and would recommend other to give it a try , (as I am) but this movie, although enjoyable to watch due to the better than average acting fails to add anything new to its storyline that is all too familiar to these types of movies.

Aiden Melton The storyline feels a little thin and moth-eaten in parts but this sequel is plenty of fun.

paulclaassen I love the unpredictability of Korean movies. This film takes us on an interesting journey. Although it is a comedy for most parts of the movie, keep in mind there are some dramatic war scenes. It can be just as emotional as it is funny.I've often wondered how different it would be if solders fighting a war were to meet under different circumstances. Would they become friends perhaps? Best buddies? This film proves so well how different it very well could be, when soldiers from North and South Korea end up in the same village during the Korean war. This was a sweet innocent comedy film with a deep underlying theme. It is beautifully filmed and the popcorn scene and the boar scene were just awesome, filmed in such a unique way. The climatic battle scene was more humorous than realistic, although it did turn out quite sad, with a great action scene. The film also once again shows us how annoyingly destructive the Americans can be.

Ajit Tiwari The story is set in Korea during the Korean War in 1950. Soldiers from the North and South, as well as an American pilot, find themselves in a secluded village, its residents largely unaware of the outside world, including the war.The movie has its own quintessence of the characters; every character is so lovable that you will find it tangible. The screenplay is immaculate; every frame of the movie is eloquent and displays diverse emotions of the characters.The best part of the movie is the humor; the subtlety of comic scenes is fantastically portrayed. The cinematography is dazzling, every scene is crafted perfectly. The slow-motion scenes looked well-paced; the lush and green outskirts of Korea are shown with elegance, the rains are amazing.The patriotism of North and South Korean soldiers is ardently poignant, and their measured character development towards the harmonious grounds, is simply overwhelming.I mean having watched a lot of Korean Movies; I think every movie is better than the other one.Recommended for everyone.

TBJCSKCNRRQTreviews During the Korean war, soldiers on both sides find themselves in a mountain town where the villagers didn't even know that a conflict was being fought. The battle scenes are chaotic, brutal and intense, in the vein of Saving Private Ryan, with strong emotional impact following the humanity seen from everyone. We aren't led to believe that anyone is "evil", there is good and bad in everyone(yes, that goes for the American troops seen, as well). You really find yourself responding to the characters, recognizing traits and such. Do we like everyone? No, just like in real life. The FX are great with occasional exceptions(especially the CGI, I'm afraid... though it really isn't that big a part of this). This is well-acted, and I implore you to accept the subtitles. The realism is impeccable, and you can practically feel the pain and impact when a bullet hits. This is filmed and edited rather well. It keeps to a good pace, so the 133 minutes pass pretty smoothly. There is a moderate amount of bloody, violent and disturbing content in this. I recommend this to any fan of dramas. 8/10

chrisrolfny This film is another example of the Korean Cinema having really come into it's own. This beautiful antiwar film is stunning to look at (hats of to the DP), well acted, and nicely directed. And the fact that it is a remake of De Broca's classic takes nothing away from it at all, in fact it adds to my appreciation of it. The story and the characters are recrafted just perfectly to make it a totally Korean film, while losing none of the poignancy of De Broca's original. The beautiful, crazy girl, the carnival like affect, the cast of eccentric townspeople, all are perfectly retold. It is hard thing to improve on one of the great classics of the French cinema,especially at a time when some would say the French were at their heyday. But now is a time when making the Americans look like war happy fools, wrecking someone else's front lawn, needed a good saying. And former TV Commercial Director Kwang-Hyun Park says it perfectly.Hats off to Hye-jeong Kang too for her entrancing performance. See this and see the original.
