Strong and Moving!

The film never slows down or bores, plunging from one harrowing sequence to the next.

It is encouraging that the film ends so strongly.Otherwise, it wouldn't have been a particularly memorable film

Through painfully honest and emotional moments, the movie becomes irresistibly relatable

I liked this a lot, The story was pretty charming. A warrior that knows nothing but war and violence learns the value of life and learns the value of a normal life and of friendship and community. I loved that. It was a nice adventure fun movie. It felt like watching a cartoon come to life to be honest (Including the acting) Some of the negative reactions to this movie might be because not everyone realized this was meant to be that way. The story about the kid was sweet and funny, The girl was fun to watch and everyone in the town was fun to watch too. And the action scenes were very good too. I Loved the sets and I loved the environments the movie had. I really loved the costumes of the villains. I loved the steam punk fashion some of them had. I loved the clowns a lot. I loved that the movie incorporated the clown and the circus aspect, not only did it work for the comedy but it was visually really great to watch. their costumes were really nice. Whoever did the clothing for this movie deserves an award.

First of all, because the movie is well below the level of drama Jang Dong-gun is capable of expressing. Although the story is gripping, the moral conflict resolved by the main character is very interestingly expressed, the movie is (in my opinion) more of a commercial one than a film reflecting an idea or sending a message.The second reason (and the minus in stars) is represented by the relatively useless comedy accents. Why ? Well, because a movie with so much bloodshed can never be a family movie.Well, the 8 stars are indeed deserved. I regard the film as being a necessary bridge between western and eastern movie industries.On the other hand, the story, although not very deep, being constructed around the idea of honor vs/and humanity, is easy to follow in a good sense.But let's face it. If you truly enjoy the idea of East meeting West, watch Red Sun. Watching Charles Bronson and Toshiro Mifune in the same moving picture is a precious treat.

It's not John Ford, but THE WARRIOR'S WAY is an outstanding western. A blend of east & west, live action & CGI, far eastern mysticism & carnies, classic western film guitar & spaghetti western horns, with a whole new spin on a man, a woman, & a baby. Danny Huston is spectacular, Kate Bosworth brings it, and Geoffrey Rush & Tony Cox are great. This is the first I've seen of the lead, Dong-gun Jang, & I liked him. Thanks Netflix, I almost missed it. It's not John Ford, but THE WARRIOR'S WAY is an outstanding western.

I stumbled upon this film by accident while channel jumping and I was immediately captivated by its striking graphic style. This is Tarantino meets Ang Lee meets Wachowski brothers.People who are easily aggravated/offended by films with flagrant historically inaccuracies should stay away from it. Its just not that kind of film. This is a fairytale about the perfect warrior (the silent type, literally, since he speaks about 20 sentences during the whole film) that becomes imperfect (from a warriors point of view) by the power of innocence.The film is so stylized that quite often the set is -obviously deliberate- recognizable as just that: a set. The film looks beautiful, gorgeous even, and so do the action scenes, of which some may think there are too few. I do not share that opinion, for this is not an action flick. Nor is it a high pitched drama. Its just a fairytale, boldly visualized, that happens to be set in an intentionally roughly painted western setting. The pacing is slow at times, which leaves you more time to enjoy the visuals.If you liked Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon and The Matrix for their visual flair, if you like Tarantino for his weird, over the top pulp stories, you really should try The Warriors Way.
