How sad is this?
... View MoreIt’s not bad or unwatchable but despite the amplitude of the spectacle, the end result is underwhelming.
... View MoreWhile it is a pity that the story wasn't told with more visual finesse, this is trivial compared to our real-world problems. It takes a good movie to put that into perspective.
... View MoreStrong acting helps the film overcome an uncertain premise and create characters that hold our attention absolutely.
... View MoreThis is my favorite movie, I watched it about 20 times!Watch it, this is great movie! The story line is not excellent but very funny characters! The end is similar to Dragonball Z, but doesn't matter. :) A little mange feeling... The music is great! Intesting: the main character is not a SuperMan but fights as funny. :)Effects: very nice effects, good job!Great colors, and movie quality for me!At the end: watch it if you like an action-comedy!Kim: great warriorSpoiler: will Whasango 2, not fully end?
... View MoreOkay some one point out the good parts of this movie. From the stupid storyline to the horrible fight scenes, this movie did not please me in the least.I had more fun ripping my toenails out with a molten hot monkey wrench.I won't spoil the story for anyone who hasn't seen it, but make sure you have your puke bag and no doze aspirin with you. I'll give it the fact that the CG was okay, but that is not really a comment when you add in the other CG style movies like StormRider, The Duel, A Man called Hero, Legend of Zu, and Avenging Fist.In all, this movie was a live action Japanese anime without the Japanese. Sad to say Equilibrium was better than this, and that was a suck fest as well.Even after the horrible review from me, some of you will like this movie, some of you won't. It's a mixed review movie, but I'll say this, if anyone found this movie to be good then they haven't seen a lot of martial arts movies, because there are so much other martial arts movies that are 100 times better.The main character alone got on my nerves with his BS promise not to fight or get kicked out of school. Come on there has to be a better story for this, why did he wait until the last 10min of the movie to try and fight, and the hold out was terrible. All of that waiting only to have one of the most boring fight scenes in martial movie history.Again this is a review from a person that watched the Uncut Korean version of the movie so imagine how the MTV version was. But again some of you will find this movie entertaining, but from a martial artist and Kung Fu movie buff, this film is a blatant mockery.
... View MoreI saw this movie recently and although i expected it to be rubbish i am pleased to admit how completely wrong i am it was a piece of visionary genius the characters are some of the most obnoxious people i have ever seen that are likable they constantly bicker with each other for superiority and it is hilarious to watch. The fight scenes are stunningly beautiful the sfx are superb they even rival! the large production movies like x-men and x-men2 i personally recommend that everyone see's this movie it should be appreciated especially by sci-fi and martial arts movie fans or anyone who just wants to watch a funny compelling story about the differences between kids and teachers especially when the kids have super powers.
... View MoreI can understand why this film splits viewers into those who either love it-to-death or those who despise it. To properly enjoy Volcano High, you will need to relax, loosen up and dig up some old skool memories.Considering this is primarily a fun film, main and periphery characters are well portrayed, and there's a lots of subtle comedy and bombastic drama to keep anyone with a developed sense of humour happy. However, if you love martial arts movies, you will be disappointed - the martial arts is spread pretty thin. Although Volcano High is Korean, it appears to have gone the way of recent Hong Kong kung fu films, in that choreography is either obscured or entirely replaced by CGI effects. However, the special effects and acting are top-notch, Hyuk Jang especially evoking both sniggers and respect. Well made and good fun if you don't take your movie-watching too seriously. If, however, you want something a bit more substantial from Korea, try Musa or Shiri.
