Top Critics' Reviews
Rotten: There isn't a shred of subtlety in their clowning -- or in any part of the movie, which clumsily shoots for operatic highs and lows. But with so many borrowed bits and pieces, the only feeling it successfully evokes is deja vu.
Rotten: South Korean filmmaker Sngmoo Lee's debut feature is less a genre-spanning romp than a tiresome lab experiment in computer-generated tropes and green-screen oppressiveness.
Rotten: The ingredients here congeal into a gooey mess that is not without amusing moments.
Rotten: While the movie seems designed to be a breakout for Jang, it's Lee whose work actually makes an impression. You guess he'll be back - hopefully, playing it straight next time.

Unique and Intriguing
When my wife and I went and saw this movie at the theater our first thought was, "what did we just decide to do?" The first half of the movie leaves you fearing that you are watching the next watchmen disaster. However, about half-way through the movie Sngmoo began to tie all the pieces together into a unique movie that left us leaving the theater saying, "we will own this movie." There are probably quite a few people that won't like this movie, but if you are looking for a descent from the ordinary junk that seems to be plaguing Hollywood right now, this might be the movie for you. :)
Title's are for school.
This is a very creative piece: art, photography, sound, all special. Hi grades for production design. Movies like this are great because everyone's taking a chance. The director is some Korean guy who graduated from NYU and isn't even in Wiki but he doesn't care. The only problem with this movie is its promotion: because of its swordplay, we assume its market is martial arts fans. Unfortunately, they won't like it, and will tell you why. The real target should be regular movie lovers who like something different. Some of them will be charmed by this movie.
This is my favorite movie
I LOVE this movie it has a great cast, awesome characters, epic fight scenes and is visually appealing almost every frame is like a painting.
granted the story line is nothing new but it looks like they took a gamble and in my opinion succeeded
i recommend this movie to anyone who likes action with the right amount of romance and silliness.
