It is very rare that i give a review with a full 10 under every category even for my favourite movies and dramas but this one really does deserve it. The plot is so original along with all the characters. The acting was so well done that the characters seemed very real, even the 'Ghost' type characters were surprisingly well done. The music was perfect; it made it so that one second you're in awe of the romance, the next you are in horror. I've never seen let alone heard of a movie like this. I will definitely watch this again, and again.

The conclusion to the liar game. What made this movie interesting, was all the lying, scamming and plotting that took place. Both the movie and the show play really well into how people can trust each other and what's in their heart's. Odd curcumstances make people do weird things. Even though the girl was annoying it was nice to see such an innocent person, and she really showed that she was alot more clever than people thought. I recommend this movie.

Who doesn’t love a good romcom with a bonus of Gong Yoo? That's what I was expecting but...

This movie claims to be a romantic comedy and I feel like they didn’t fufill that. It wasn’t that hilarious nor was there real romance. Sure there were subtle funny scenes here and there but nothing that will make you fall out of your seat. As for romance, the couple goes on “dates” but its not identified as dates and their relationship really doesn’t get explored much. The ending was open-ended which I didn’t like. Still, the movie has enough going on to keep you from getting bored.

A positive I found was the lead actors. Their acting was natural and they had good chemistry.

Because I liked the lead actors I wouldn’t mind seeing this again because it wasn’t horribly boring but its not something I have to see right away.

Overall this movie is forgettable although worth a watch once.

Surely this isn't a movie for just anyone, but I have to admit it had some really messed up (and also interesting/disgusting/disturbing to watch) scenes, which were really memorable and will undoubtedly leave a trace in your mind. Sure the effects don't seem that realistic in today but I think they are creative and well made for their time.

This is a great movie if you get in that weird mood where you want to watch one of those strange Japanese horror/gore movies.

This movie was not good at all. The plot started out interesting but as time goes on it just drags out. I had to force myself to watch everything until the end. I don't know what the writers were thinking when they wrote this movie, but they should have left it at the last movie. I do not recommend this movie.

Yeah at this point I only watched this to see the ending of everything. I wasn't very impressed by the plot of this movie, I loved the actors though. I think they could have thought this movie out better, put everything together in a more clever way. Everything felt like it was sort of scrambled together. I don't recommend this movie.

In the end I gave the re watch value a six and the overall a five because they did not have Matsumoto Jun as Sawada Shin in this movie. They brought back so many characters, and yet he didn't come back. So honestly that distracted me the whole time I watched this movie. Shin doesn't come back so I wouldn't recommend this movie.

I did not like this movie very much. I like the actor they got to play the main role. The idea for the story was interesting but that's as far as I'll go saying anything positive about this movie. the animation, if that's what you would call it, made me feel like I was watching the Power Rangers. The characters weren't very good either. I would not recommend this movie.

Well I will say that I did cry when I read the manga. The movie didn't make me feel that type of emotion at all. Again I did like Ryuk. I think the problem with this movie is that they had a weak writer who wasn't able to take the original story and transform it into a movie. The way L acted was pretty out of character, but the movie does have to be different than the manga and anime. However that's no excuse to mess up a perfectly good character. I would recommend this movie if you want to see the continuation of the first one.

Hey it wasn't that bad, wasn't that good but not bad. I loved Ryuk even though the animation for him was kinda lame, I liked him. The guy who played light wasn't too bad either, actually I think he portrayed the twisted side of Light very well. The girl who played Misa was not bad. Now the guy who played L was definitely the best of all, they cast him very well. He's how I would imagine L in real life. I've watched the anime and read the manga, and I'm glad they changed somethings. If you're not a hardcore death-note fan then I recommend this, if you are then you might be disappointed with the way they did this movie.

I didn't prefer this movie, actually the only reason I watched it was because Matsumoto Jun was in it. I got halfway through the manga before I stopped reading, so I knew what to expect. It wasn't the acting that I didn't like, but really just the whole feeling of the situation, if that makes any since. It's hard for me to see siblings in that type of relationship, so I didn't enjoy the idea at all. I would not recommend this movie to anyone.

I watched this movie just because of Kim Sun Ah performance. And as I thought she did not disappointed me. Her performance was really good and I enjoyed her scenes a lot.

But the rest... well movie is slow for mine taste. I fast forwarded it a lot. Main lead annoyed me, his not a bad actor just his role was so immature and hot-tempered. Story is decent but expected, movie did not surprised me, not even once. It's about someone with great talent but also great ego that he must overcome to became better person to win back his family.

Music was a great fit for this story, encouraging in many scenes. Overall this movie is decent. I cannot recommend it nor dissuaded it. If you want to see movie about baseball player and his relations with his family you could watch this movie.

This movie is about how a great teacher can influence his students till the rest of they life. Kim Soo Ro role is outstanding - his everywhere watching over his students. His hilarious in this movie. I couldn't stop laughing.

Such a warm story about how can we overcome stereotypes and prejudices. How can we become someone better if only one person will have faith in us.

This movie is worth watching, although it's not movie that I will remember for ever but after watching it I felt warmth in my heart. Great story that can make you cry and laugh in the same time.

This is definitely one of the saddest movies I have ever seen. It is told in a dreamy and lovely, but also desperate and sad point of view.

I have never read "The Little Prince", but this movie just made me really appreciate the story. I think I will read it to my son.

The acting was incredible, especially Kang Soo-Han's. It must have been a hard role to portray, but he did a great job.

The music was very good, too, though it wasn't really that important.

The movie sequence in the end, an alternation of "The Little Prince" I think, was unbelievably sad.

All in all, this was a wonderful movie that I warmly recommend to everyone.

Chow enters the Forbidden City as an undercover agent disguised as a eunuch, becoming involved in a complicated Ching vs Ming plot. Wonderful spoof of Jin Yong style wu xia pian, with manic plotting and martial arts.

The action from Ching Siu-Tung is some of his best work, featuring wild and insane choreography that really brings the kind of supernatural martial arts skills Jin Yong wrote about to life.

Hilarious, as per usual Stephen chow with his trademark nonsense comedic acting. What else can i elaborate. If you find this movie interesting, go on and try watching the second one (Royal Tramp 2). It's an easy watching comedy film.
