The Good, The Bad, and The Weird (Ji-woon Kim, 2008): South Korea

Reviewed by Nicole de Jong. Viewed at the AFI Festival, Arclight, Los Angeles.

My first impression of The Good, The Bad, and the Weird was a nice, easy movie. In this movie is actually not really a story going on. That makes this movie not really interesting. When you see this movie, you just see it for fun. It is nice to see, with not a lot of thinking. Sometimes the movie was funny and exciting. The good, the bad, the weird is a movie for everyone. Although I think that boys would enjoy this movie more then girls.

I saw The Good, The Bad, and the Weird at the AFI filmfestival. The movie is directed by Kim Jee-woon. Lee Byeong-heon, Jung Woo-sung, Jeong Woo-seong, Song Kang-ho is the cast of the good, the bad, the weird. I do not know any of these people, but I think all the performance from these people were really good.  

The Good, The Bad, and the Weird is about: The Weird steals a map from a Japanese official. The Bad is paid to get it back. The Good is a bounty hunter who tracks them down. In this unpredictable, escalating battle for the map and the men, who will stand in the end as the winner.

The use of the camera in this movie, is important. The camera zooms in a lot of times and that makes the movie exciting. Also, the use of the music in this movie was good. The music takes care to get you in the scene.

The Good, The Bad, and the Weird is a fun movie. But I can not say, yes this is a movie that you really have to see!
