Movie Reviews

San Francisco Chronicle - 10/10 by G. Allen JohnsonEpic in scope and violent in a way that every war film has to be since Saving Private Ryan, Taegukgi is a big-time movie that never loses sight of its human story.
Kansas City Star - 10/10 by Robert W. ButlerThe beauty of writer/director Je-gyu Kang's work is his ability to gloss over the dramatic deficiencies with some of the best combat footage ever.
Chicago Tribune - 9/10 by Robert K. ElderBelongs to that brand of sweeping, conflict-era drama epitomized by "Saving Private Ryan," "Gone with the Wind" and TV miniseries "North and South."
Austin Chronicle - 9/10 by Marc SavlovThe most costly and the most popular film in South Korean history is also one of the most gripping and epic war films ever made, and certainly the only one I can think of the portrays the Korean war from the viewpoint of both sides of the conflict.
Los Angeles CityBeat - 8/10 by Andy Klein...take a number of its cues from Saving Private Ryan...it's overall tone, however, is more melodramatic.
Newsday - 8/10 by Jan StuartAlternately brutal and schlocky, and occasionally both at the same time.
New Times - 8/10 by Luke Y. Thompson...it's not only one of the year's best films, but it may be one of the all-time great war movies
Jam! Movies - 8/10 by Jim SlotekWhat really separates Tae Guk Gi from Private Ryan's ilk is that the conflicted Koreans fight desperately in their own backyard, as opposed to U.S. movie soldiers who are always on an adventure abroad.
St. Paul Pioneer Press - 8/10 by Chris Hewitt (St. Paul)Later scenes in Brotherhood make mad, passionate love with being cliched.
Entertainment Weekly - 8/10 by Gregory KirschlingAlways entertains, just like ''Pearl Harbor'' and the rest of the best of Hollywood's dumb war movies.
