ThedevilChoose When a movie has you begging for it to end not even half way through it's pure crap. We've all seen this movie and this characters millions of times, nothing new in it. Don't waste your time.
Merolliv I really wanted to like this movie. I feel terribly cynical trashing it, and that's why I'm giving it a middling 5. Actually, I'm giving it a 5 because there were some superb performances.
Nayan Gough A great movie, one of the best of this year. There was a bit of confusion at one point in the plot, but nothing serious.
Scarlet The film never slows down or bores, plunging from one harrowing sequence to the next.
mikevaza I must say it kind's get me touched with both characters the Tiger and the old huntsman. Good acting of Chun Man-Duk. Better then some Hollywood actors. This is one of those movies you want see 100 times. I have this movie in my "best movie ever" list Congratulations South Korea on this one.
andyk-14 I was entertained. I will stop watching 10 minutes into a movie if I feel it is too boring, cheesy, etc. and I made it to the end of the movie. My wife, who normally hates Asian films, got interested halfway through and had to watch it to the end. My 8 year old granddaughter started watching, unbeknownst to us, and started crying when a significant character was killed. Don't let your young kids watch this film; it's violent and gory in some spots.The scenery was nice, the hunting scenes were riveting, and I like the story the was slowly revealed about the old hunter and the tiger, especially at the end. I think the movie was a little too long and slow; not enough to make me stop watching but enough to sometimes fast forward to the next scene.This is a fantasy film with CGI animals. I feel that the CGI was good in most places but sometimes the animals' movements were obviously unreal. However, I feel the same way about some of the action scenes in the recent Marvel movies. If you like the Marvel movies combat scenes then just think of the tiger and other animals as a Marvel superhero and the anonymous CGI bad guys, and you'll be fine.The movie has a cast of interesting characters. I personally did not like the main character, the old hunter. I could not sympathize and I felt that he brought all his misery on himself. I did, however, relate to the old hunter's son. And my favorite characters were the Mountain Lord tiger, the younger scarred hunter who led the hunting hunting band, and the scarred hunter's buddy/sidekick. My suggestion is that if you don't care about the old hunter, which I didn't, there are other characters who are worthy of attention.
Kyra Davis This amazing film tells a deep compelling story, and while it feels mostly legend, the graphics and human element are incredibly real. It conveys perfectly the struggle and fight withing Korea's last tigers.The imagery is the most powerful part of this film, in my humble opinion. I couldn't take my eyes off the screen for a moment and I became so deeply invested in the caricatures and story. I recommend this wholeheartedly, and plan on watching it at least a second time myself.
Geoffrey Wright On the surface it's about hunting a large tiger. Under the surface the story is really about the resilience of the Korean spirit and the hardships they endured under Japanese occupation. How the Japanese forced many of them to turn against each other, and how families were torn apart.Ultimately, the spirit of the people and of the homeland on which they were born and stewarded with their lives, wins out and are forever melded together.In all, a well told story with great scenery shots and some well done CGI.
