Viewing Notes
A big, goofy Korean epic that weaves history and fantasy together with plenty of adventure and pratfall comedy. I know I’m not the ideal audience for this sort of movie; it comes off as too goofy in general for me. Still, it has some fun, and funny moments, though I can’t really forgive the needless cruelty to the CGI whale. Pixels have feelings too.
