You maybe disappointed if you expect realism

Rating: 6/10 (1 April 2014)

I've seen my share of Korean movies and they are in general quite slick and enjoyable. If you are expecting a realistic depiction of the Korean War, you will probably be disappointed by Taegukgi.
From the 8.2 rating is seems that some people really enjoy this movie, so I better explain myself. The movie is competent technically, and the fighting scenes are well done. But the story is where it falls short. If you are used to more realistic war movies such as "A Bridge Too Far", then Taegukgi will appear cartoonish and contrived. I am not a soldier, but I really can't image that people will fight like that in a war.
