A film with more than the usual spoiler issues. Talking about it in any detail feels akin to handing you a gift-wrapped present and saying, "I hope you like it -- It's a thriller about a diabolical secret experiment."

The most impressive film I've seen in a long time! From beginning to end, the film is simply amazing and the action and excitement never ceases. The visuals are incredibly realistic. It is an incredible story of courage and determination, and how a handful of soldiers accomplished the impossible by defeating an army. The destruction of the enemy ships is so good, its mind blowing!! Simply awesome! One of my favorite films!

Movie: The Admiral (15)Rating: 4.5/5 starsSouth Korean Cinema is known worldwide for its excellent films, as they are visually quite strong and emotionally gripping. So is this Choi Min- sik starrer action-war film THE ADMIRAL. I saw it dubbed in Hindi. I was really impressed with the amazing visuals, action & battle scenes, while I was also completely gripped emotionally to the film in the entire second hour.There are many outstanding sequences in the first hour. Emotions are very strong in portrayal throughout the entire film. There are many sequences bound to leave you spellbound, and you'll find yourself short of words to describe the visual excellence of the film.The second hour is totally gripping. Not a single second is wasted. It's a film which has importance not only in South Korean Cinema, but also in world cinema due to its sheer excellence.Choi Min-sik is ultimately powerful in the role he plays. Watch him act throughout the entire film, and you won't feel like he's acting but indeed living the character. Rest of the cast is praiseworthy as not a single performance goes over the top.The film is extremely strong on the technical front. Be it the visual effects, the action sequences or the cinematography, everything is excellent. The powerful BGM enhances the viewing experience, and certain well executed sequences will hold your breath for sure.THE ADMIRAL undoubtedly is one of the best South Korean films, especially in terms of presentation.

Strangely I don't mind watching humans killing humans in movies, its made up and so on--But when it comes to killing and torturing animals, its cheaper for them to do it for real then bring in special effects and CGI--They pretty much tear a horse to pieces while it is screaming in terror and pain, kudos to the foreign movie film, and of course it gets heap of awards--Many of our older westerns and war movies out of Hollywood do some of the same stuff--But this is a modern movie, and someone should speak for what was done instead of heralding this dam movie as an epic

In some parts the depiction of the reactions is a bit over reacted but over all a great depiction of on of the greatest naval battles in history.Great war scenes and a great detail and research in recreating the ships and costumes that could almost be used as a realistic documentary.Epic quotes that characterize the oriental philosophy and overview with special effects and a great intensity all along.An entertaining historic movie that can be watched any time you fell like spearing a couple hours and want to enjoy some well recreated history.
