Movie Reviews of Casshern
Movie Review: meh
Summary: 2 Stars
I purchased this version hoping to see some of the special features with English subs. I have not yet watched the dvd, but I was pretty unhappy when I found that the movie was just 117 minutes long, when the original was 141 minutes long. I don't see how they can take a pretty much perfect movie and mutilate it like that. Don't waste your money on this, find the original version and just live without the special features.Movie Review: Boring
Summary: 2 Stars
I had high hopes for this movie. I thought that if i was patient while watching it, that the action would get better. Well sorta. When the main character gets his powers the fight scenes lasted only a few short, bad edited minutes. It has so much potential because it is has nice visuals and plot build up. But it never pans out. Rent don't buy. You'll be pissed if u do buy.Movie Review: Just missed

Waited a long time to see this movie and I fell asleep. It's not that bad, just started to go all over the place.Movie Review: Indigestible Trash
Summary: 1 Stars
The 2004 move CASSHERN is a live-action derivative of a 1970s
anime series titled CASSHERN, ROBOT HUNTER, involving said
hero, his girlfriend Luma, and cyborg dog Friender engaged in
a war against genocidal robots. The modern movie version tries
to update this scenario for adults, which turns out to be a
bad idea.
I keep thinking that at least some of the glowing reviews I have
seen of CASSHERN are plants because it's hard to believe a
majority of people who saw this movie would praise it.
CASSHERN has a script so incoherent that people would be
confused if they didn't realize that it didn't have a brain and
wasn't worth probing into.
The poor acting doesn't help, but what really kills CASSHERN
is its utter dead seriousness, which is hard to take given
its credibility is less than that of a Saturday morning
cartoon. I will admit some of the visuals are nice, but
they're not enough to save this movie from it fate as a entry
in some future revival of MYSTERY SCIENCE THEATER 3000.
I haven't seen the original anime series, but I would suspect
it would be more entertaining. It could hardly be worse.
Movie Review: Whoever wrote that this film was better than The Matrix needs to be slapped.
Summary: 1 Stars
Going into this film I was extremely open-minded and excited, but was let way down. Everyone is raving about the visual effects, that weren't amazing. It is as if the director and efx crew wanted to throw back to the 80's and even then they did a horrible job.
The plot is unobtainable throughout the movie and the scenes jump so much that it is extremely difficult to grasp what is going on. As for characters, there were too many and I never found myself emotionally attached to any of them.
Casshern himself was completely unbelievable and cannot in anyway be compared to Neo from The Matrix.
The background, visual effects, lack of compelling plot (Frankenstein by the way, just in case you were wondering) and complete loss of character connection with the audience makes this one of the worst films I have ever seen.
I would not recommend this film to anyone I see or meet, not even a bum with a PSP. Whoever wrote that this film was better than The Matrix needs to go back to film school.
I had to give it one star because that is the way the system works, but this movie does not deserve half a star.
Beware watcher and pass this one up.
