      Audience Member Epic war movie!!! Myung-Min Kim is always strong in drama! But beauty Megan Fox I think was unnecessary here... Rated 5 out of 5 stars 01/17/23 Full Review Audience Member Wow, why are the real critics so down on this movie? It is just fine. The battle scenes are well done. The story itself is somewhat unique and generally unknown to the audience, so it is fresh. The character development is typical war movie stuff. There is the usual comparison of hard life back home and the classic dilemma of what to do when a friend or relative is fighting for the other side. But aside from all the standard war movie cliches this movie is highly watchable. The objectives and challenges are clearly identified. The helicopter that appears in the middle is from the completely incorrect era, however. It appears to be a UH-1 which did not exist until 1959. That was a distraction. Rated 4 out of 5 stars 02/17/23 Full Review brian c Living in SE Asia with many Korean, plus bit of a post WWII history buff, i welcomed this rare insight into the Asian mind and strengths. As for a movie, the characters are developed into unique indiviguals with several compelled sup plots; the girl who fights instead of her brother for family heritage reasons, the boy who is one of 11 siblings and suffers loss of love of his parents, many more. Reading the revues and seeing the, critics 38% score vs the 88% score of movie lovers,, again i believe many of the critics have lost touch with why we love going to the movies. Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 03/31/23 Full Review Audience Member This movie was surprisingly good, I didn't really know what to expect. Megan Fox has really grown as an actor and delivers a great performance. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 01/31/23 Full Review Audience Member Great war drama. If as tired as I am with world war 2 movies, see this. Never forget the Korean war and those who fought in it. Rated 4 out of 5 stars 01/31/23 Full Review dennis s War. Huh.

      Cary Darling Houston Chronicle If director Kwak Kyung-Taek and writers Brian Chung and Cory Gustke have a tendency to fall deep into predictability, the battle scenes make up for it...The trench warfare attack, which comes about 30 minutes in, is close-quarters brutal. Rated: 3/5 Oct 9, 2019 Full Review William Schwartz HanCinema The production team pulls no punches when it comes to the terrifying nonsense of war Mar 24, 2021 Full Review Carey-Ann Pawsey Orca Sound The battle scenes are quite well done. They are the prime reason to watch this film. Rated: 2/5 Apr 23, 2020 Full Review James Marsh South China Morning Post Formulaic to a fault, The Battle of Jangsari rolls out a procession of war movie clichés with regimented efficiency, but without a glimmer of individuality or invention. Rated: 2/5 Mar 11, 2020 Full Review Evan Dossey Midwest Film Journal Decent action sequences can't bring much meaning to this tepid, miscast melodrama. Jan 21, 2020 Full Review Richard Yu Cinema Escapist While on the surface Jangsari is "just another war movie,'' it's important because it recognizes that adolescents can rise to the task when their families and futures are threatened.
