Movie Reviews of Appleseed
Movie Review: Re-visit the 80s.
Summary: 5 Stars
Appleseed is based on the manga - Mankind is trying to make a perfect utopia in the city of Olympus. But is it perfect or just another form of a cage, monitored and controlled by a computer named Gaia. Forces within the city are trying to restore their freedoms. Or are they just trying to bring paradise down to hell?
It is up to Dunan Nats and Buliarous Hekatonecles, with the rest of their fellow officers in the ESWAT Squad, to keep order without breaking the laws themselves.
The voice actors don't seem to appear in anything else, the plot is simple, the themes watered down, English is mis-spelled -Red ALART???-, the music is late 80s (DUH - the anime was MADE in the late 80s) and the F-word is used by everybody. All in just over an hour.
IT is SO PERFECT. Come on, this is the stuff we all watched at one time or another. Terrorists, mecha, explosions. A must for any fan of anime or Masamune Shirow.
Movie Review: One bad Mother... I'm only talkin' about Appleseed
Summary: 5 Stars
This movie is quite the shocker for anyone who's never seen, heard, or read about this anime/manga. First time I saw this was when I was 12 taping it on my VCR infront of my parents and the first real thing they say in the movie is "Mother F***** come out with your F******* hands up you piece of S****....." So you can imagine how I was as shocked as they were except in a good way. This movie at times doesn't make much sense, but it's still good with all the action, swearing, emotion, realism, oh yeah did I mention the swearing. This movie is without a doubt worth getting. Parents can get it for there kids if they want. I mean it contains like no nudity as far as I can remember, and besides your kids are going to be introduced to swearing anyway. So why not teach them how to do it properly and when to do it with this as their guide. I hope this review was helpful.Movie Review: An unintentionally HILARIOUS anime!
Summary: 5 Stars
I bought Appleseed today at some comic book store because they didn't have anything else I was interested in. I wasn't expecting much, but this 68 minute anime is one of the funniest movies I've ever seen. They swear like there's no tomorrow and say degrading things about themselves that I don't think I can repeat here. I've spotted at least five typos (mostly on signs) throughout the movie. ROFLMAO! The animation is fine, but it's irrelevant. Buy Appleseed without hesitation. It's a riot. :) :)Movie Review: READ the comics! Masamune is a genius!
Summary: 4 Stars
Masamune Shirow is a wonderful writer & artist. The appleseed comic series is really wonderful: both intelligent, funny & beautifully drawn, everyone I've lent this to or bought it for has LOVED it..The video is interesting, but might dissapoint. The story is well done, but lacking the details and beautiful art of the comics. It is not as good as his other stories on video (M-66 Black Magic, about escaped battle droids that need to be recaptured) and Ghost in the Shell (about intelligence in the robot and computer systems and what is a soul, anyways?) ...
But: I still recommend this! =)
Movie Review: Appleseed Music Video/Trailer
Summary: 4 Stars
To see a music video style ad for the DVD release of Appleseed (which, oddly is ON the Appleseed DVD), go to the special features menu, scroll down the options until you rerach the bottom of the page where "Play Movie" and "Back" are located. Press right toward the Manga logo but it won't be highlighted. Presse enter to view the egg.
