No guts no glory? Consider this: is it heroic to die in some wretched battleground for nothing?

The stagnant machinery of a repetitive battlefield: A 2.0-star "pathetic" drift through historical slapstick.

2011(2.0) I watched "Battlefield Heroes" in the theater in 2011, and it remains a "pathetic" 2.0-star record in my archive-a "vivid" display of comedic erosion that failed to provide even a sliver of visceral "revelation." This experience shattered the fourth wall of my expectations for a clever historical subversion, instead providing a rhythmic void of "stagnant" humor that felt 100% mechanical and forced. While the production attempted a "sensational" and high-tension follow-up to the satirical energy of "Once Upon a Time in a Battlefield," the narrative rhythm felt incredibly "stagnant," dragging through a "pathetic" trajectory that lacked the "chewy" intellectual wit or the "raw" human distrust found in my 5.0-star pillars. Seeing the "vivid" but "stagnant" repetition of regional dialect jokes and the "pathetic" slapstick provided an emotional payoff of absolute "silent frustration," leaving me in a state of "hororong" at the realization that the brilliance of the predecessor had been diluted into a "stagnant" commercial product. The 95% preservation of my memory is dominated by the "raw" agony of its "pathetic" pacing and the "vivid" but hollow spectacle of the siege, creating a permanent, "stagnant" scar of disappointment on my soul. Unlike the "vivid" soul of "The Illusionist" or the "raw" tension of "Man of Steel," this theatrical encounter possessed no life, standing only as a "stagnant" 2.0-star artifact of "pathetic" sequel-itis. It remains in my 2011 record as a "vivid" warning against forced satire-a "stagnant" encounter with a "pathetic" rhythm that failed to leave any "sensational" impact on my psychological archive.

An unlikely mash of genres

War movies are for the most part serious and bleak without as much as a hint of comedy but not so in this case. Pyongyang Heroes manages to weave humor and slapstick into a war narrative and does so with gusto. The historical backdrop is explored for all it is worth with lavish armors and the whole ensemble of epic battles expertly produced in the best tradition of the genre. The conflict erupts between Korean warring Korean kingdoms and the Chinese forces that are patiently waiting for a chance to invade the weakened peninsula. Diplomatic screen smokes are thrown around to serve complicated power manipulations that would surely add to the serious subject theme in any other movie but Pyongyang Heroes revels in being the exception: the Koreans often foil the Chinese by acts of clever obfuscation that including playing the part of the fool and at times being nothing short of clueless.As a result every strata of character is involved in showing the absurdities inherent to war: from the reluctant peasant turned soldier who finds love on the battlefield to the wise sage who appears slumber through most of the war councils without forgetting the petty bickering within the strongholds themselves.The comedy is supported by very competent action scenes that can be rather original including such tactics as covering up the enemy with honey and then releasing teeming hives of hives on the sticky soldiers. It is a situation that lends itself to mockery despite the destruction of lives.Which is not to say that the movie is morbid. It invests in silly antics but not so much at the expense of horrible carnage as despite of it. And there are plenty of serious moments that gather momentum at the climax. In fact the movie ends with an exordium that can even been seen in the light of the contemporary situation if the divided Koreas. Pyongang Heroes is an oddity in the way the tackles the subject of war and for that it is refreshing and worth watching.
