That was an excellent one.

Simply Perfect

Great Film overall

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.

I was looking forward to a historic narrative of the battle, the absolute apex of Yi Sun-sin's military career. However, the movie's plot is too far away from historic details. I have to say the whole movie is really a fantasy, disguised as a movie based on historic events. Or perhaps I shall say the movie is freely inspired by historic events? It is not a matter about Yi's true ability, I am just deep disappointed overall.

This is one of the best movies I have ever seen in my life.It is always difficult for Englishmen to admit that Nelson ever had an equal in his profession, but if any man is entitled to be so regarded, it should be this great naval commander of Asiatic race who never knew defeat and died in the presence of the enemy,this one definitely worth a watch,in my opinion this movie deserves 9.0 not 7.2

I stumbled upon this movie as i was reading on who admiral Yi was and knowing his feats in the art of war, this movie made me excited as this is the first movie on this topic I was about to watch. Now, an hour and a half later (didn't finish the whole movie), I just wish that I didn't watch it as it was a complete waste of time. The acting in my opinion was bad at its best, character development was nonexistent, they didn't have more than 1 trait to their personality and the interactions between characters felt very unnatural and forced which made it cringeworthy to watch. I also found the producers attempt to emotionally connect the viewer to the events and characters in the movie pathetic. They completely failed with the task which just made the movie really weird and left me wondering what they were crying over all the time.I LOVE the idea behind this movie, making an epic movie about the undefeated general Yi Sun, but this movie fails at it...and quite miserably actually. So don't waste your time, just skip this movie.

"Fear does not discriminate. It can equally affect our enemy." There are plenty of awesome lines like this in the film. If you like stories of underdogs overcoming insurmountable odds, then this movie is for you. When it comes to the Korean navy going up against the Japanese, there is no better example.The historical accuracy of this movie is as good as a movie can get, but I was encouraged to read about this battle myself. It is a great movie about a key historical event in Korean history. The dialogue is very sharp between all the actors. There are a few cheesy parts, as most movies will have, but even with that, this is still a top 5 movie.
