I was rolling on the floor watching this movie! it was so hilarious and I also cried at the last part!
The flow of the story is so perfect that you won't notice it's almost the end! I really enjoyed watching it even I am alone. My mom was staring me with weird expressions because I was like crazy laughing by all by myself.

I fall in love when Hee Chul sang in English! OMG! he really has a nice voice, so you guys out there, watch it out!!

I freakin' laughing how they mistreat Hee chul because of Young Jun!

The love chemistry between them is so natural and they really match!

Guys who love romantic comedy must watch this! It also show lessons in life so it's not wasting your time!

Anyway, it's a two thumbs up and must watch movie! I will again watch this and laugh by myself again!

When I started watching this movie, 15-20 minutes later, I thought to myself "What a lame movie. It's so obvious the girl has a terminal illness and she's going to die pretty soon" Boy was I wrong. This movie blew my mind away! The acting was really good and they used great music. But overall, I think the story was what stole the show. Love it. Will watch it again for sure.

Ok, first of all: it's not a masterpiece... But, it's so funny! XD
Ji Won is perfect! Omg, she seems just stepped out from a Japanese anime! The elevator scene, and Sailor Moon.. I've literally loved her!
And Jae Won is so sexy and so funny at the same time.."You wanna die?" XDD
Well, the plot is the same plot, the same as many other movies: rich guy, poor and stupid girl, the meeting, the fights.. The happy ending is assured.. But, for who? XD

This is my first review ever so please be kind ^^

Where to start?
The story was nice but nothing special. The idea of the plot had protential in my opinion but the result wasn't that great. I didn't know any of the actors before but the main actors are pretty good. I think the actors did a pretty good job but the characters actually annyoed me way too often.
I don't know if I'd ever rewatch it but I won't say it was a waste of time either.

I really like this kind of movies but I don’t give them first preference because of their overall vibe. But finally I watched this movie and I’m glad I watched it.

It’s directed by Kar Wai Wong (Director of ‘In the Mood for Love’). 2046 looks like sequel of ‘In the Mood for Love’ which also features Tony Leung. Well, it’s sequel but 2046 is not totally dependent on ‘In the Mood for Love’.
2046 is a beautiful movie about romance and regret. It is an art film so it’s very poetic, slow paced and also sensual and unlike ‘IMFL’ it’s very complicated. Sometimes it’s really hard to understand the events happening. Time jumps are very puzzling; I read somewhere “2046 is a beautiful mess!” Also there are many similarities between ‘IMFL’ and 2046.

Visually it’s really good, mostly filmed in green and red tone with classy retro setup. Cinematography is beautiful but some special effects are really weird.

I’m Tony, Ziyi, Maggie and Li Gong fan, so I expected impressive performances. Most impressive is Zhang Ziyi. She’s not only beautiful but very talented too. I saw her great performances in ‘The Road Home’ and ‘Memoirs of a Geisha’; she gave her one of the best performance. Tony Leung is as great as always, he portrayed his ‘womanizer jerk trapped in sadness’ character very well. Same goes for Li Gong. Her screen time is less compared to Ziyi and Tony but she’s equally powerful. Faye Wong, Carina Lau and Kimura Takuya – I heard many good things about these three but this is first time I watched them. Faye Wong is very likable and Kimura Takuya and Carina are also good in their tiny role.

Like ‘IMFL’ music is really beautiful. It nostalgic and creates emotional environment.

I like this movie very much but it’s not a re-watch material, it’s quite heavy film to watch again so if I may watch it again after few years.

It’s a must watch for those who love poetic, slow art films and especially for those who enjoyed ‘In the Mood for Love’! 2046 is better than ‘IMFL’.

I usually do not watch movies in which one of the characters is sick because I find them very depressing but after reading the reviews I decided to watch this one & BOY AM I GLAD I DID!!! Although my heart was very sad at the end it was a good kind of sad.

This movie keeps you engaged since the beginning. The story is developed in such a way that you have to keep watching. You fall in love with the boy as the girl is falling in love with him. The tender moments are so touching. When they kiss for the first time you feel like it was your first kiss too.

The music in this movie was amazing, especially the last song. I need to find the soundtrack. The scenery was beautiful & they way they filmed the movie was outstanding.

Although the end was sad, my heart was feeling pain but also hope & longing. I will definitely watch this movie again, hopefully with my daughter.

I heard from a Japanese friend of mine that Gegege no Kitaro is one of the most beloved Japanese "Yokai" demon stories, and that nearly everyone in Japan knows it. He recommended reading the manga. I did not do that but watched the live action film instead.
Not knowing anything about Kitaro I thought this was a delightful story, containing all elements a good story needs to have, without being overly dramatic.
The story is full of Japanese folklore, which I found funny and strange and sometimes familiar. It has a good message, lots of action, some emotional and some funny moments. It is a very Japanese story.
The acting was good. I thought it very brave from some of the actors to be made up looking incredibly ugly.
The music goes well with the film, and enhances the less dramatic and more funny aspect.
Overall I may not watch the film again, but I will definitely watch the sequel, where the main actors reprise their roles.

This movie was just ok. There are some funny parts like when the girl gets her head stuck in the fence and when she jumped the fence and tried to hang in the air so as not to face the bully. Seung ho is easy on the eyes so I was more interested in looking at him than follow what was going on. I was confused alil as to who hyo-bin was until the end.the fight scenes were awsome and looked really real and cool. I still can't see seung ho as a bully he's always the cool cute guy

How can you watch the first Gantz and not watch the sequel? Even though this movie was not as action packed as the first, it was used as a vehicle to explain a lot of what was going on. The game continues and you get to see the affects and consequences of the game on both the humans and the aliens. I have to say, you kind of have to sympathize with both after watching this. Let's just say, after finishing this, I searched the web for the DVDs and purchased them immediately. Well worth it! Well worth watching. Thank you, oneterrorist for writing a great article recommending it.

I also have never read the manga but let me say, without 10 minutes, I could not stop watching. The story was riveting. Beware, it can get a little gruesome at times. But I thouroughly enjoyed it. Ninomiya Kazunari, I had seen before in Ryusei no Kizuna before. Matsuyama Kenichi was in Norwegian Wood. So I was familiar with the lead males. The story does go quickly and a lot of details are shown so don't turn away for a minute. Some things are not explained but I guess that would be the disadvantage of not reading the manga. An interesting story for any Sci-Fi fan.

Do not take this movie seriously, it was just full of fiction, reminded me of secret garden stunt scenes. The music was awsome I need to find out who the rappers were. I dint undertand the end, I mean who did she end up with. Acting was ok but the music was good. This is a movie to pass time. Shin min ah did a good job keeping up with the fight scenes and the motorbike guy was hundsome but he had cougar issues.

The theme of a break up attracted me to this movie. Almost everyone has experienced a break up and can relate. I especially can relate to the break up experienced by the main character in this movie.

It was really interesting to see how the MC worked out her feelings after a period of time with the help of many people. It was touching to see how the relationship between the main characters developed and how they started caring for each other.

The music was OK & the cast was nice. I would watch this movie again.

This movie was cute. Moon geun young is one of my favorite actress and she is awsome in all in shows. The gist of the story mayb outrageous for a 15 year old to marry but when u watch the show u can understand the manipulation process. That female teacher was a fox, she just put her claws on him and wouldn't leave. The two were cute together and the grandfather is a trip

Story::

Yes its robo-human love. But its darn good. The story was really well done. There is a time travel aspect to the story which is written up and done very very well. The story leads you in one direction but the ending twists the story well, I didn't expect it and was happy.

Characters/Actors::

Really awesome acting by the actors. The characters however.. meh. The main male lead didn't do that fantastic of a job. BUT everyone else did everything so well, that I ended up loving one of the side characters(the teacher). Damn, the robot is legit!


Music:

Perfectly fitting.


Overall: 9/10
