A Pretty & Artistic Comic Book? 9/10 Customer Review Rated Bad 10 - 10 out of 10

I bought this movie mainly for the reason that Lee Byung Hun and Jung Woo Sung are the leading actors. Like Kara, I'm not a fan of western or cowboy movies and so I didn't have much expectations. I watched this movie like I was reading a comic book. I didn't pay much attention to character developments because my attentions were mostly on the screen with its colorful and artistic designs. The director is artistic and all three of his antagonists were well chosen. He did spent a lot of efforts. In my opinion, the movie could have been better if it was shorten and less lavish in its style.

Since Mr. Kevin Kennedy mentioned the rock star hair style, I just want to add that Lee Byung Hun is one of the best actors and he can be anything that he wants to be on screen. Actually, only a few men can carry that hairstyle, Lee Byung Hun doesn't look good with it! :)

The Good, the Bad, the Overlong Customer Review Rated Bad 8 - 8 out of 10

"The Good The Bad The Weird" is great, rollicking, noisy fun ... for a while. Chang Yi (Lee Byung Hun) has been hired to steal a map, and he is a very bad man who always gets his way. However, the bandit Dae Goo (Song Kang Ho) unwittingly beats Chang Yi to the punch; he manages to steal the map with no knowledge of its significance. Bounty hunter Do Won (Jung Woo Sung) is hoping to claim the bounty on uber-baddie Chang Yi, but also wouldn't mind cashing in on the relatively minor price on Dae Goo's head. With that premise, this movie is off to the races, mixing up equal parts of Sergio Leone westerns, Errol Flynn swashbucklers, "Once Upon a Time in Corea", and "Dachimawa Lee".

Each of the three leads carves out a memorable character: Lee Byung Hun masters a cold-blooded, menacing swagger, Jung Woo Sung carries off heroic feats of derring-do, and Song Kang Ho bumbles his way through a wild assortment of adventures. The film holds the audience's attention through its innovative action sequences, comic bookish characters, and assortment of Wild East settings. However, roughly ninety minutes into the movie, the film devolves into a NOISY CHASE SEQUENCE THROUGH THE MANCHURIAN DESERT -- A CHASE SEQUENCE SO EXCRUCIATINGLY OVER-THE-TOP AND MIND-NUMBINGLY LONG THAT I WAS BLUDGEONED INTO UNCARING SUBMISSION.

By the time the film arrived at its climactic three-way showdown, I just didn't care anymore; the movie had gone on too long and become too ridiculous. Nonetheless, I really enjoyed the first ninety minutes and, for that, I can recommend "The Good The Bad The Weird". (Minor nitpicking: Did anyone in 1930s Manchuria actually sport those contemporary "rock star" haircuts? And Glenn Miller's "A String of Pearls" became a hit in 1941; Chang Yi could not have played that record back in the 1930s.)

Very good! Customer Review Rated Bad 10 - 10 out of 10

The other review pretty much covered all the basics of this movie with its impressive acting and amazing directing, but I have to give props to the movie as a whole (if that makes sense). I know that it's a Western-based film and I can't stand Westerns, but this movie was definitely very entertaining to watch and I was happy I finally got the time to do so! I am, however, very disappointed that the only region available is Region 3 which means it is not available to watch here unless I get a special DVD player (which would be worth it). Slightly depressing, but it's not going to affect my opinion of the movie.

It's hard to describe how good the movie was because there are just certain components that a viewer looks for and I think that this movie captured my desires and compressed them into under three hours.

Now for some little details. The Good was portrayed very well by Jung WooSung and I liked how he brought the character to life and The Bad played by Lee ByungHun was also very impressive! I've seen him in other movies (likewise with Jung WooSung), but this is by far the better ones, I think, because it was more entertaining with all the action. Even though those two guys were very good at what they did, I think that The Weird portrayed by Song KangHo was clearly the most entertaining of the three because he just brought the humour into the character while at the same time being entirely serious. There's just something about these three actors chosen to be in this movie together that made it that much better than it would've been if there was a different combination of actors.

I don't know, now I'm just rambling, but I really did enjoy this movie and Westerns (of any language) are not my genre of choice. This movie is going to make me rethink that assessment.

One hell of a ride... Customer Review Rated Bad 8 - 8 out of 10

Been looking forward to watching this film for for some time now and whilst it's far from perfect it was still one hell of a ride and definitely worth the wait. The plot is basically a Korean The Good, The Bad And The Ugly where the Good (Woo-sung Jung), the Bad (Byung-hun Lee) and the Weird (Kang-ho Song) are all racing to get a map which leads to a hiding to a hidden treasure. All three leads played their roles well but as always it was Kang-ho Song who steals the show.

Ji-woon Kim has once again done an excellent job directing this and just like his previous movies he’s managed to come up with some great camera shots and set pieces that’ll stand up to Hollywood any day of the week. This is probably one the few movies where I can truly say this but this film is filled with non stop action. Usually when I watch a movie like this I expect a 5-10 minutes of gun fight and then 30 minutes where the plot unravels, but this was the complete opposite, here the battles seemed to go on for 20 minutes at a time. This is however where the film succeeds and fails; whilst the movie itself was loud, fun and entertaining I found that the plot and characters lacked any real depth which is a shame considering the film it’s inspired by.

Overall this is the equivalent of a summer blockbuster; it’s big, it’s got loads of action and will leave you with a smile on your face. It’s fun to see all the scenes paying homage to Leone’s Dollars trilogy but unfortunately mainly due to a wafer-thin plot The Good, The Bad, The Weird fails to capture the emotion and heart of a true western.
