Disappointing

I thought this was a very disappointing film.

It certainly is a good looking film, and has some great set pieces.

However, if you're going to invoke the name of an epic like The Good, The Bad, And The Ugly, then you're going to have to be prepared to measure up to that film. The Good, The Bad, The Weird doesn't measure up at all. It's like The Good, The Bad, and The Ugly made for teenyboppers.

There was no chemistry between Yoon Tae-goo and Park Do-won. I do like Kang-Ho Song as an actor, was great in the host, but his character here was a one-note buffoon. Didn't have 1% the sympathy for him as I did for Tuco, who may have been a buffoon at times, a cold hearted bastard most of the time, but at least showed a bit of humanity too. The Good and The Bad were equally one note, and charisma free.

I think because people go to the effort of reading subtitles they are far less critical of Asian or Foreign language films as they would be with Western films.
