Fun watch, but....

[cbisbee-73995 · 5/10 · 24 June 2021]

With a soundtrack reminiscent of Ennio Morricone of spaghetti western fame and the stylish Dada-esque set designs similar to Banraku, at times, and samurai action sequences, what more do you need? This is not a Akira Kurosawa quality samurai movie for one. It is a part fantasy, part parody, and part drama movie that needed more parody to be really good. The ction scenes were good enough and the story made sense overall. Acting was also good, considering this is a sword play film. Worth a watch if you don't want seriousness to your movie.

No pun intended - I am surprised the movie itself did not go for that pun to be honest. But more for me. And I do love me a good pun as you might already know. Anyway, the movie at hand is another good example of Korean action cinema. They do know their stuff, when it comes to action.

Story wise there may not be as much substance as you can find elsewhere - but it still is more than some other movies have (especially of the B-category in America). The characters are nicely drawn and you will not have issues following the story (and the main character). Decent to say the least and really intriguing too - even more so if you already have a thing for Korean cinema anyway.

Good

Beautiful and entertaining, its flaws are few, and it's worth watching.

As for the ending, it was good, but I think that there will be more strength to the story so that the viewer does not get bored, but it is not bad and I recommend watching 👍
