My Mighty Princess

My Mighty Princess is a 2008 south korean film about a college girl who is a master of martial arts and has super human strength. She finds herself being ridiculed by her peers all the time, so she decides to give up on her abilities and try to live a normal life. She is the only child in her family and the only one to carry on the family traditions, so her dad gets mad that she is getting worse and giving up on her training. He then gets her childhood friend who is also gifted with the martial arts abilities to start pushing her back into practice again.
Meanwhile there is an evil martial arts villan guy who wants to kill everyone else and become the top martial artist guy...He brings his war to the girl's father and nearly kills him. He is left in the hospital in critical condition, so she decides to train again and learn her deceased mother's super martial arts skills to get revenge.

Filled with action, drama, great fighting sequences, this movie is most definately a comedy, but has a juicy plot. I found myself laughing a whole lot throughout the movie. Even my sister who isn't as into asian films as I am was laughing at moments! Every charecter is very likeable and the actors are really good. The main girl's actions and expressions are hillarious. The movie kind of ran on the longer side, but that could also be because I was tired when I was watching it. The ending kind of left some things unsolved, especially the love interest between the main girl, her friend from her hockey team, and her hockey team's much older police-woman crush. This story is very entertaining to watch, but none of it has any conclusion in the end. The ending also can hint at a possible sequel, although I heard that this movie was actually finished 2 years prior to it's theatrical release due to delays of some sort. I don't know if that means anything.

This movie is another 5/5 for me. I have a feeling every movie I review will have this rating Haha. At least most of them anyway. This movie is awesome!
