So... is the movie any good?

Thank You!

So how's the movie? Any good?

I can't wait to see this movie.

I dont do hype unfortunately, never watched Avatar (or Lord of the ring!) might watch it for KSH though, kid's going places with that talent ; )

I've been pretty much salivating for this movie since I heard about it months ago. This would be the perfect time to: A.) acquire free plane tickets to Korea B.) be able to 100% understand spoken Korean. FML.

If anyone can give me a link as to where I can watch this movie, I would be so thankful!

And on a side note, with such an A-list cast who wouldn't watch this?

well, apart from it being a good movie, perhaps there are a lot of girls rushing to see it hoping that they can watch it while riding on KSH's back... http://www.allkpop.com/2012/07/kim-soo-hyun-strikes-a-silly-deal-with-the-thieves-audience

That's awesomely insane! Congrats my man Kim Soo Hyun!! That is funny, beating out your own film. It just show how good you are in your field!!

Chukahaeyo! Good for them -- more box office receipts means that we have a better chance of seeing this flick appear in the States soon!! ::fingers crossed::

Maybe another reason for the high turnout is because it's been BLOODY SCORCHING HOT in SK (36º C!!) the past few weeks. Nothin' like heading to the theatres to cool yourself down... although seeing KSH on a large screen in front of me would do nothing of the kind!! :D

I will probably watch this once its out as bad-ass good looking thieves are always worth a watch!

I saw this the week it opened in Seoul and the only way I could was to go to an out of the way movie theater cuz all the tickets were sold out elsewhere unless you wanted to sit on the first row and count nose hairs throughout the movie. I must admit, for a Korean movie it's pretty decent. When people first compared it to oceans eleven it was only cuz of the heist. This band of thieves are pretty different. Some plot lines were predictable and you could see it coming a mile away, but there were some surprises that made you sit up and take notice. Overall it's a really great movie so there is no way anyone will hate this. The plus side is the ending makes it seem like this story could continue in a sequel. Who knows maybe they will make another one if this fares well and becomes a hit. One extra juicy tidbit of plot info about KSH- that kiss with Jeon Ji Hyun lived up to all the hype and those few seconds alone merit watching this twice, but he has another kiss scene most people want to forget about which was LOL hilarious. Maybe cuz KSH told people Thieves is worth watching twice, they listened. some of us feel like we need to cuz there are like a gazillion different languages in this film so unless you are fluent in all of them, for some scenes you have to do some guesswork. I only understood spoken Korean and couldn't read the subtitles so I need to rewatch this when it comes out with with subs.

Ocean's 11 was a good movie (though I can't say the same for Ocean's 12 or 13), and I have a feeling The Thieves will also be a good movie. At first I thought it might not be worth the hype, but JB says it was directed by Choi Dong Hun. I enjoyed Tazza, so here's to hoping The Thieves will be even better~~

I actually watched this on my trip to Korea (it was a family reunion of sorts). It was...alright. The ocean's 11 comparisons are apt because that's essentially what they're trying to do, with their own twist. And twist on twist on twist.... Basically, at the end, they were trying too hard and it got too complicated (and too crazy-to-be-believable) for its own good. I will say that the acting was solid, and KSH is shirtless, and ~Gianna~ Jun is fabulous (and ridiculous).

One more thing: the movie is over two hours long, and it feels long, which isn't a good thing. :T

Just came back from seeing the movie. I surprisingly liked it and understand why it's such a smash hit here in Korea (and not just because it's an A-list cast...plenty of Korean movies with comparable names on the roster flunked). The only drawback for me was that it was difficult to keep track of all the names and characters and, as someone else mentioned, the languages--Korean, Mandarin, Cantonese, English, Japanese.

Without giving away any spoilers I'll just say this. This is a classically Korean film in that it bends genres. I went in expecting to see a Korean version of Ocean's Eleven and realised halfway through that I was in fact watching a revenge thriller with a healthy dose of 1980s Hong Kong action film noir.
