May and June were a time for all-American heroes in the nation's movie theaters. Every kind has been represented: from super secret agent Ethan Hunt in "Mission: Impossible III" (Tom Cruise), via Storm, who can kick up a typhoon in "X-Men: The Last Stand" (Halle Berry), to the triumphal return of Superman (Brandon Routh). With their super- or at least preternatural powers, they saved the world and made a killing at the box office in the process. But in the first week of July with the release of "Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Man's Chest", the Hollywood superheroes handed the baton to the homegrown variety. "Hanbando (The Korean Peninsula)" signaled the entry of the more ordinary Korean heroes, with their more human flaws. The outsider historian Minjae (Jo Jae-hyeon) in "Handbando", monster-battling Gang-doo (Song Kang-ho) and family in "The Host", to Ga-pil (Lee Moon-sik) from the film "Fly Daddy" who endures special ops training and the violent gang lifestyle for his family.
