Hammerboy description The Korean feature Hammerboy (2003) was adapted from a popular manhwa (graphic novel) by Youngman Hur. In 2112, Mangchi, a pint-sized hero who's more enthusiastic than bright, lives in a setting that recalls Waterworld: a small colony on an island formed by two ruined skyscrapers. His grandfather forges the hammers Mangchi loves to play with, and instructs him in the "Great Echo," a way of focusing all the body's energy into a yell that serves as a weapon. When Princess Poplar crash lands near the colony, Mangchi has to help her against the power-hungry minister Moonk, who's trying to seize the throne. The filmmakers cram far too much story into 75 minutes, leaving the characters underdeveloped and big chunks of the plot unresolved and unexplained. Like other recent Korean features, Hammerboy borrows heavily from Japanese animation, especially the films of Hayao Miyazaki. Director Taekun An lifts elements from Castle in the Sky, Porco Rosso, and Kiki's Delivery Service, but it's all pastiche. Hammerboy is no deeper than an episode of Digimon. (Rated 13 and older, but suitable for ages 9 and older: minor toilet humor, cartoon violence) --Charles Solomon |
