Blood Rain - Any good?

I like the looks of the box, but how's the movie?

LOL! I asked that same question a couple weeks ago, adding the comment about the pretty packaging as well.

I am also wondering about this movie. It sounds pretty cool, but I am starting to get tired of all of the recent samurai type movies.

I'm watching it right now and so far, it's kept my attention. I've not watched it on my DLP set yet but on the 32inch Toshiba in the living room, it looks pretty darn good. I saw that there are fans in the Ad listed above but, none were included in my shipment from DVDfromKorea.

It's not a great movie by any means. I'd say the word average is best suited. It held my interest to some extent, but the end fell short. I've seen it twice now (I saw it a few months ago with poor sub's) and after seeing it a second time with a proper translation my opinion hasn't changed. I didn't spend much on the DVD however so I'm not upset by it.

I was impressed with a couple of the deaths however. It wasn't that they were graphic, it was more the fact they were somewhat clever.

Get a used copy. I'm sure plenty will turn up. lol

In the last week or so I've managed to see Crying Fist, Blood Rain, Antarctic Journal, The Bow, A Bittersweet Life and something called Hello, Goodbye My Little Brother about a young boy who's brother gets cancer. I decided to get my Korean fix

I'd say Blood Rain was the worst, but that's just my opinion.

Off topic I know, but how was Antartic Journal? I have been thinking of picking that one up.

blood rain was decent and antartic journal is around the same level. I would say that Antartic Journal was a pretty weak movie but the first half and the visuals are spectacular

No, it was over on another forum. I don't remember any previous Blood Rain threads here.

'I'd say Blood Rain was the worst, but that's just my opinion.'

Of the movies you named, I'd have to agree. It was okay when I saw it in the theatre, but I don't know if I want to spend some money on it.

I loved Antarctic Journal, though. Thought it was very well made.
