Rafael Castro Regardless of the "origin stories" and what the straw grabbing naysayers may target to diminish this movie, this is indeed an awesome movie. Beautiful, poignant, suspenseful and oh my gosh, the drama. While some scenes seem to drag a couple seconds longer, than we are used to, the final 10-20 minutes made the other couple hours worthwhile. This movie doesn't have a twist ending and the little "surprise" is almost logical. But if you are really into the movie, you will get a rollercoaster ride. When you, after holding back tears, are finally wiping them out, there comes another shot to the heart that re-open the floodgates.

Richie-67-485852 If you like mystical tales and spiritual slants on everyday life then set yourself up to enjoy this gem of gems for you are in for a treat. Its a story that takes place on the edge of life with people trying to make a living and getting by but then again, so is nature and animals too. What happens when those three all come together to share, explore and respect each other and if asked, to give all that they have for the other? What then? This movie captures that theme and takes us to places that are extra-ordinary and worthy to explore. Humility, simplicity and appreciation is what the lead actor communicates to us via living his humble life and being content in it. In a far away place, where survival of the fittest is mandatory, without a discipline and moderation for yourself and others make it less than what it is or can be. This movie teaches us to live and let live in the fullest meaning and sense of the words. Much going on here that is beyond words so let yourself go and let this movie do its work and serve you not just entertainment but a slice of quality time with a bonus thrown in; A nice reflection sort of an afterglow when the movie ends. I am speaking literally and figuratively too. Tear-jerker in more than one place so do not hold back the tears but instead let them out. The music compliments the deeper points and the elements in this movie while fierce can be lived with for a short time until they claim us all. This movie is a good reminder to appreciate and respect the moment and circumstances one is in and realize others are about that too. I like to munch while watching. This movie is worthy of a nice snack, a tasty drink, finger foods and just about anything that brings you pleasure. Haunting the movie Tiger is.......

Bliss Quest If you're going to use CGIs for major action scenes in a film, then get your s*it together! And if I wanted to watch an animation film, I wouldn't have bothered with this. I couldn't believe how comical all the tigers appeared, let alone the bullet-dodging skills of the "Lord Tiger". The story line is somewhat plausible up until when the tigers appear on screen. The director of this film needs to understand that CG-animals in successful films like Revenant work mainly because of the limited screen time given to the bear. The human brain won't tolerate something so unnatural for long periods of time unless it knows it has come to watch a cartoon!! Choi Min-sik's presence alone isn't enough to carry this project. Most of the supporting cast seemed clueless, almost struggling, probably because there were no actual tigers to interact with on set. What made the entire experience borderline-painful was its 2 hour-plus duration - waaay too long!! The only reason I didn't rate this lower is because of the lead-character's (fruitless) efforts to salvage it.

Geoffrey Wright On the surface it's about hunting a large tiger. Under the surface the story is really about the resilience of the Korean spirit and the hardships they endured under Japanese occupation. How the Japanese forced many of them to turn against each other, and how families were torn apart.Ultimately, the spirit of the people and of the homeland on which they were born and stewarded with their lives, wins out and are forever melded together.In all, a well told story with great scenery shots and some well done CGI.
