He played what we was casted, a mysterious warrior, and he did a great job. and yeah, i think this would have been a lot better as a Korean movie with subtitles, because I've seen this happen before with Sukiyaki Western Django, where it wasn't received well by everyone who watched itThe Popcorn Jockeyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14353873666354991361noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2379342724705550687.post-78138347900109709872010-12-06T00:37:35.610-08:002010-12-06T00:37:35.610-08:00First of all, I'll say that I'm a fan of J...First of all, I'll say that I'm a fan of Jang Dong Gun. Not to the extent where I've seen every single Korean drama and/or movie he's been in, but he happened to star in my favorite Chinese movie (The Promise). Kate Bosworth isn't that bad either, having seen her in "21" and "Blue Crush". And come on - who doesn't know Geoffrey Rush from the Pirates franchise at least? So it's not the acting I have issue with, here.<br /><br />What I'm very concerned with is the merging of genres. Normally, I wouldn't mind. But Western meets Wuxia? DO NOT WANT. The effects look great, but the plot that you described does not sound at all appealing. It seems somehow lacking. Plus, I would have preferred if the movie had been in Korean with subtitles, but that's just me.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2379342724705550687.post-41007621641255069222010-12-06T00:19:22.531-08:002010-12-06T00:19:22.531-08:00I'm glad you ruined the movie for me, it certa...I'm glad you ruined the movie for me, it certainly didn't look worthwhile enough for me to pay money to watch it, and this confirms every bit of that gesture.
