The Worst Film Ever

Good concept, poorly executed.

This is a must-see and one of the best documentaries - and films - of this year.

Each character in this movie — down to the smallest one — is an individual rather than a type, prone to spontaneous changes of mood and sometimes amusing outbursts of pettiness or ill humor.

Many years ago, before the existence of YouTube (where you can watch this movie if you really want to see it), I arranged for an Internet buddy of mine to watch my bootleg copy of it, since he really wanted to see it. After he saw it, his comment pretty much sums up my view of the movie: "Painfully dull and mediocre." Yes, you may have heard that the critical consensus at the time of the movie's release was that the movie was incredibly inept a la PLAN 9 FROM OUTER SPACE, but that's not the case. It's just boring for the most part, and unintentional laughs are hard to find. But there's more fault to be found than just that. It's frankly embarrassing at times to view Laurence Olivier, who was at this point far from his prime as well as being miscast. As a matter of fact, the rest of the cast doesn't do much better in giving compelling performances. And while an insane amount of money was spent on production, much of the movie has a made for television look and feel to it. I have a feeling that my comments won't stop people who really want to watch this movie (which as of this date has still not been issued on VHS or DVD) after hearing so many bad things about it over the years. To a degree I can understand this. But all the same, after you watch it, don't say that you weren't warned.

When I first saw all the bad comments of this movie, I thought this must be a boring one, and then Rev. Sun Myung Moon financed it also, it cant be that good.Anyways, I seemed interested in the fact that this was an 50 million dollar movie, so I went on searching for it. I must say it was very hard to find, but I finally found it. Having a critical mind about this movie I set on watching it, and this is the following I have to say:1- This movie is worth while watching, it is very professionally made, and comparing to other trashy movies which have gotten a much higher score this movie is obviously underscored.2- The 50 million dollars weren't for nothing put into this movie, you really get a 50 million dollar movie, tanks explode, airplanes crash, armies of thousands of men combat each other in a very real scene. Nothing compared to cheep crap which is done through computer, this is the real thing.3- Actors and storyline are great, I mean what else do you want, I really got touched.Conclusion: This movie has been obviously discarded by the media, and why, I think this movie could have hit the 1982 top, but rather disappeared as the mist. My guess why this is so? I think the reason for all these bad comments and scores, is only and only because of the person who financed this movie, The Rev. Sun Myung Moon. Religious leaders and media were very strongly opposing Sun Myung Moon in the 80's and logically a 50 million movie wouldn't be welcome.So don't believe all the nonsense written about the movie, watch it yourself and then you will know.

I was an extra in the movie "Inchon" and my unit in Korea supplied all the generators and equip. for it. Instead of getting paid to sit around they cast me as an extra, dressed up as a French, Greek and American soldiers and worked my ass off. I met all the actors and they were pretty cool, Omar Sharif was the nicest. (left the set before shooting) We pushed a staff car up a hill and we weren't sweaty enough so the sprayed up down with water and made us do it again. We had a really cool bar fight, and a bunch of other things. Anyway the movie came out in '79 but when the military found out it was financed by Rev. Moon the took there name off and shelved the movie. It was only out for 3 months.

And I have to thank Rev. Moonie for all of this! Why doesn't Moon just stick to his cult. But thankfully after this stinker, he STOPPED with making movies, since Inchon was a bomb in both North America and Asia (especially South Korea!).Now with the plot. Deals with General Mc Arthur and the US in Korean War ridden South Korea. I also leaves out that Mc Arthur helped out Japan before trying to deal with Korea. Grrrrr.....~_~Okay, the guy who play Mc Arthur may not act, but MANY great Korean actors in this film were wasted and looked really bored throughout the whole film. If fact, I read in an Asian cinema book, that a lot of the Korean actors and actresses deny ever being in this film.Stay away from Inchon! If you want a good WW2/Korean War history lesson, watch some Korean anime based on the events, because at least the Anime characters could act! However, Inchon is fun to do some MST3K-stlyed mocking time with.
