The Admiral was aura farming during the entire last third.
Some super sick moments constantly undercut by character reactions that linger for far too long and a few questionable narrative choices; longest 2 hours I’ve felt in a minute.

Literally, I'll literally defend Choi Min-sik with literally my own life.
ALSO, how majestic was that long take onboard the flagship seriously @Hollywood - step the fuck up Kyle!!
This movie is near perfect, if not for the portrayal of the Japanese fleet. Everything else is absolutely impeccable. Kim Han-min continues to annihilate my entire existence.
As the kids these days say, I'M SHOOK TO MY FUCKING CORE.
