Almost everything about this movie is amazing, from the actors' performances, character development, to its realistic production design. However, this movie does have some serious flaws. *Spoiler alert! The part of the story that turned me off was when Clarice Starling, who was regarded as a clever police trainee from the beginning, chose to confront Buffalo Bill alone in his house. It just doesn't add up. Instead of making excuses to leave the house and report her discovery to her team, she went to search the serial killer herself in his own lair. Seems like she isn't really the brightest one, is she? Maybe that part was made to show the courageous side of Starling, but it just feels forced to me.

It's a visually stunning film with good acting, cinematography, and symbolism. However, unfortunately, the story has some significant flaws, such as having flat, superficial characters and relying on unnecessary, cringeworthy scenes for shock value. There's also no further explanation or background story on why the main character, Oliver, could be so psychotic and greedy when his parents appear normal and fine. Can someone become murderous out of pure obsession alone?

It is such an epic, excellent production of Chinese classics! This movie deserves more international spotlights with its great story, costumes, acting, cinematography, and special effects. However, those who are not familiar with Chinese folklore may have to do some research on the characters to fully understand the story. Overall, it's highly recommended to watch!

Everything about this film is fantastic: the intriguing story and plot twist, great acting, aesthetic production design, and especially the music from the 60s. This film is quite underrated and should be seen by more people.

If I could give more than 5 stars to this film, I'd definitely do!

Truly an awesome sequel to the Shrek universe. Thrilling, witty, smart, and full of meaningful messages. Kudos to the whole production team!

Love it! Amazing actors, gripping story with deep messages about hope, humanity, and social issues, great CGI too. Although many people may not like the ending, to me, the plot twist really makes sense.

Having watched Season 1 and 2 of Kingdom, I think this special episode cleared up the mystery of the zombies' origin. It's heartbreaking to see Ashin's sufferings and the betrayal to her family and villagers. However, I could only take her as a cold-blooded heartless woman who was supposed to have enough of her revenge after she killed all the people in the Joseon's military post, instead of turning the rest of the kingdom (including innocent men, women, and children) into zombies to take it down. This kind of character doesn't deserve a happy ending. LoL. Anyway, hats off to Kim Si-ah and Jun Ji Hyun for brilliantly portraying the young and adult Ashin.

I would have given full 5 stars for this series if it weren't for the 2 biggest flaws in it, which are the bad-quality CGI hell giants and the fog-like CGI "angel" that looks really lame. Considering Hellbound as a Netflix production, such bad CGI result is quite unbelievable. However, other elements of this series, like the story, the turn of events, the social issues, the acting, the cinematography, etc., are really unique and amazing. Looking forward to watching all the mysteries solved in the Season 2, of course with better-looking monsters.

All the actors played well and looked natural. It's just that there are some horror scenes that seem awkward, not scary enough, and even feel funny. The "mother" figure looks way too stereotypical Indonesian ghost with a pale face, panda eyes, long hair, and wearing white long dress. This movie also made occult mystical things feel more "powerful" than religion. Personally, I prefer horror films like "Munafik" from Malaysia or "Conjuring" which shows how strong faith and holy power prevail over evil force.
