when i first read the story and i think it would be fun to see an ordinary thief change into a legendary general . but what i have see be more than just a comedy . it be truly an epic on small scale . and a comment on the political situation of north and south korea . the excellent combination of humor and drama and a little bit of science fiction and a lot of action make this a movie not to miss . the cast be great and the story be wonderful . it never get boring . before you know it the movie be over . the beautiful cinematography and some nice cgi effect make the viewing experience even more intense and pleasurable . i know that some viewer will be put off by the time travel aspect in the story . it be only use a a tool . the focus be on the character and their action . the spectacular finale be truly a heroic bloodshed . i enjoy heaven soldier immensely and i think that it certainly deserve a high rating than it get . trust me this be an amazing movie .
