Hrannar Baldursson I caught this movie on Netflix. Had never heard about it before, and was pleasantly surprised. The characters are deep, the dialogue is fun, the action is fantastic, the story great, and the special effects OK. Most impressive of all was the solid acting, especially during the final fight sequence. Lovely stuff.This movie brings me back in time, into a dark movie theater, at the very end of 'The Matrix', back in 1999. It had such a promising ending, and then they announced sequels that turned out to be poor.Even though 'Woochi' is not a sequel to 'The Matrix', it feels like a movie that successfully went where those sequels didn't go. Highly recommended for those who enjoy fantasy, action, and a bit of time travel.

Barry Cooper A film with time travelling Goblin Rabbits trying to steal a pipe that will….I don't know what. This is Asian cinema at its best. A story built on eastern story telling. Young buck, wise old master, humorous sidekick (who may or may not be a dog of indeterminate gender) and a love interest with guts and gumption when needed most.Following the apprentice Wizard Woochi (Don Wong-Kan) and his shape shifting Dogberry-esque friend Chorangyi and their hunt for the magic that will make Woochi's name and Chorangyi human.Fight scenes of inventiveness that take the stylistic quirks of the later Matrix films and make them great, comedic timing and watch out for the reality of magic in the second act (21st century) as we find out what would really happen if you had to seek out a magic painting at two in the morning in downtown Pyongyang.Betrayal, magic, drunken Taoist gods who can't seem to get anything right and a downbeat upbeat ending that wraps the film up in the brilliance of the eponymous hero's own imagination.This is a film for teenagers, lovers of story and people who don't take themselves seriously.Big bag of popcorn.

diggus doggus Woochi is a fantastic film. I saw this film in Chinese with subtitles, so i'm a bit fuzzy on the plot, but it revolves around a young, charismatic wizard and his magical escapades. Great costumes, discreet acting, lovely photography.Absolutely gross, horrid, mind-numbingly bad direction and editing. If you can tolerate two hours of one-second long cuts, then this film is for you. yep, my rating ins't the result of a slipped mouse click or Explorer bug, it's really 1/10; Woochi is a constant brain-damaging multitude of cuts, every single time an actor says a line the camera has to switch facing him - if Hitchcock turns in his grave a quarter turn per camera cut, you would have him spinning so fast you could power a city if you could just stick a turbine in there with him. Seriously, i dare you to watch this film - 10 minutes in and i had a headache. In the very first scene, there are four elder priests talking animately, and every time one of them starts a sentence (in someone else's mid-sentence) the camera makes a cut.I propose cutting off the balls of the man who edited this.Final rating - below zero.

srm-993-943825 To make a long thought short: I've watched The Sorcerer's Apprentice first, and then the War of the Wizards the same evening. While the Disney flick was plain boring, I really enjoyed the Korean piece. Given, that the CGI is not 100% of the stuff, Hollywood's money can buy, it has all the rest I've missed in The Sorcerer's Apprentice. War of the Wizards has fun story, nice yeah-I'm-a-great-magician-fights (I loved the boss-fight). Summarised: The Sorcerer's Apprentice sticks to it's name: merely an apprentice compared to this lovely crafted Asian movie. Watch it if you like cool magician battles and have an eye and heart for eastern humor.
