Jordan Mintzer The Hollywood Reporter 03/13/2015
Kang Je-kyu's big-budgeted WWII melodrama offers up a kitschy, overtly violent tale about two rival marathon runners caught in a continent-hopping battle of blood, guts and bad dialogue. Go to Full Review
Robert Abele Los Angeles Times 03/13/2015
[Director Kang Je-kyu] engineers one long pummel session of elaborate CGI effects, shaky battle cinematography and trial-by-fire heroics, but the nonstop adversity lacks any real sense of danger. Or, for that matter, emotional punch. Go to Full Review

This is big-boned, epic filmmaking of a variety Cecil B. DeMille or D.W. Griffith would appreciate. Go to Full Review

3/4
The film runs for almost two and a half hours and features some brutal scenes of combat, but the acting is fine and the locations, scouted for two years and shot over almost six months, are stunning. Go to Full Review

In a movie that is so visually right -- from costumes to sets to effects -- it is highly disappointing to see the script go so wrong. Go to Full Review
Matt Prigge Philadelphia Weekly 03/13/2015
C
The twisty narrative resembles a trashy, brain-drained version of the Japanese mega-epic The Human Condition -- at a fifth the length -- that's been crossed with The Fox and the Hound. Go to Full Review

Magnus A Jan 28 This is an epic, overshadowed by movies released about the same time. Violent, brutal even gory. War is a meatgrinder. Maybe this resonates more now when North Korean troops are being used in the same callous way in Kursk. The acting is committed, the filming has pace and at times is relentless. The main characters are thrown into situations, these are not agents, they decide little for themselves, sometimes heroic, mostly victims struggling to survive. Some of the pro criticism seems odd - like questioning the script? I'm watching English subtitles, was that critic knocking the film for poor subtitles? Get a grip! My Way is a compelling relentless epic - worth watching! See more The Maximum G Dec 22 I honestly don't understand the "top critics" who dislike this movie? It tells the story mainly of a Korean man who, under Japanese rule, is conscripted into the Japanese army and serves in the Japanese army at Khalkhin Gol against the Soviet Unions, as a Soviet Penal legion against the Germans at Kharkov, and D-Day against the allies as part of the German Ost Battalion. The movie is highly inspired by Yang Kyoungjong and the story he told the Americans who captured him at D-Day. It's an amazing film and I love rewatching it. And to the critics who say its 'violent', look at the WAR they are fighting in. the movie is 'too long'?, HE SERVES IN 3 ARMIES PLUS BACKSTORY. This movie is amazing and always will be See more Teuta P 12/17/2024 A must see! Definitely 👍🏻 See more Liam D @Mediawatcher2003 07/17/2024 Epic in scale little in characters. It’s definitely overlong but the action is impressive See more Nawt W 11/26/2023 For all its high budget, that was enough to contract Andrea Bocelli for a theme song and admittedly gruesome war scenes. The production designers just settled on watching Enemy at the Gates and Save Private Ryan, decided that was the gold standard, and copied them, sometimes one-to-one in some scenes. See more Kevin S 08/28/2023 I can't understand how rotten tomatoes only gives this 22 percent & fans only gave it 77 percent. This is 1 of the best movies i've ever seen,let alone war movie....
