Watch The Admiral: Roaring Currents For Free

One of my all time favorites.

The acting in this movie is really good.

The tone of this movie is interesting -- the stakes are both dramatic and high, but it's balanced with a lot of fun, tongue and cheek dialogue.

Very good movie overall, highly recommended. Most of the negative reviews don't have any merit and are all pollitically based. Give this movie a chance at least, and it might give you a different perspective.

The most impressive film I've seen in a long time! From beginning to end, the film is simply amazing and the action and excitement never ceases. The visuals are incredibly realistic. It is an incredible story of courage and determination, and how a handful of soldiers accomplished the impossible by defeating an army. The destruction of the enemy ships is so good, its mind blowing!! Simply awesome! One of my favorite films!

This is one of the best movies I have ever seen in my life.It is always difficult for Englishmen to admit that Nelson ever had an equal in his profession, but if any man is entitled to be so regarded, it should be this great naval commander of Asiatic race who never knew defeat and died in the presence of the enemy,this one definitely worth a watch,in my opinion this movie deserves 9.0 not 7.2

One of the best war films I've seen in years, The Admiral may take time to get going for those who love CGI crap like 300, but when the final battle kicks off, it's a certain victory! With the Japanese Prime Minister (or the equivalent) eager to conquer Korea before illness takes his life, scores of thousands of men seek to finally crush a nation kept alive almost solely by the genius of its naval Admiral, Yi Sun-Shin. The film begins after Korea's navy had suffered a massive defeat and the nation is on the verge of capture, with 12 ships all that stands in the way of 330 Japanese vessels sailing into the Korean capital of Joseon and wreaking havoc.Faced with an impossible task, the Emporor orders Yi Sun-Shin to disband what remains of the navy and make every man available for a last stand on dry land, but The Admiral knows that this is to invite defeat and devises a way to oppose their enemy...I mentioned that this film may seem slow, but I didn't find it so: with a ruthless villain quickly established, the plight of the nation portrayed dramatically and not via some cheap voice-over, spies building up the tension and facing a potential mutiny, Yi Sun-Shi is brilliantly acted by a Oldboy star, Min-sik Choi, who perfectly captures the stoic suffering of a man who carries the nation's only hope on his shoulders.The film effectively being in two parts: the build-up and the battle - which is edge-of-your-seat stuff full to the brim with emotion - there will be some who'll complain about the first hour, while still rating the film highly because the battle is so damn excellent! Those with more patience, however, will get the most out of the historical epic, and will almost doubtlessly look up Yi Sun-Shin afterwards, as it's just that much of an awe-inspiring flick.

In some parts the depiction of the reactions is a bit over reacted but over all a great depiction of on of the greatest naval battles in history.Great war scenes and a great detail and research in recreating the ships and costumes that could almost be used as a realistic documentary.Epic quotes that characterize the oriental philosophy and overview with special effects and a great intensity all along.An entertaining historic movie that can be watched any time you fell like spearing a couple hours and want to enjoy some well recreated history.
