Movie Reviews of Casshern
Movie Review: loved the 1973 &1994 cartoons, hated this
Summary: 1 Stars
I watched with the Japanese audio and subtitles. This movie started out well enough, but quickly stopped being entertaining. A friend who was not familiar with the source material watched it with me and really couldn't follow what was going on. I don't think the film was well written, it's very convoluted. Also, something about the CG and colors used in the movie made my eyes hurt a little. Overall, a huge disappointment.
Most of the acting was good, the music was about a 50/50 split for me. The robot designs were also pretty neat, many of them followed the originals pretty closely. I wish they had been featured more prominently.
Minor SPOILER ALERT!
The BK androids are zombies in this movie. Yeah. But they do command robot armies, so that's... almost OK? Add in a mechanical stone lighting bolt that never gets explained and other subplots completely unrelated to the 1973 original and you've got a disaster.
Movie Review: Bloated, convoluted, and ultimately, boring
Summary: 1 Stars
Wow, I have no idea what movie the 5-star reviewer saw but it wasn't Casshern. Absolutely nothing in this movie "makes Neo's battle against the multitude of Agent Smith's from the Matrix Reloaded look like a Sunday school bible meeting." And there is no way any scene qualifies as the "better superhero-style battle ever put on film."
This movie was bloated, convoluted, and ultimately, boring. The character development was pretty weak to start with but becomes even more so when one of the characters you start out empathizing for goes inexplicably bad.
Movie Review: Sorry
Summary: 1 Stars
Bad inconsistant ill concieved messy story line. Cheesie cartoon effects. Cornball acting. Forced darked brooding feel. I don't know if having watched the original cartoon would of helped, or produced contempt of a remake. I usually have a taste for chessie scifi, this one sort of falls flat on its face. One reviewer mentioned this movie a prime canidate for MST3K, wholefully agree. I did notice alot of lot of reviewers went nuts over this movie; glad someone enjoyed it.Movie Review: US version is edited severely
Summary: 1 Stars
Visually amazing but this version is severely truncated. 80 minutes? Just unacceptable for something like this.
Seek out the Asian versions for the full experience -- I'm sure there is a cheap Hong Kong version of the DVD out there as well as the various higher priced Japanese DVDs.
Movie Review: SIGH
Summary: 1 Stars
I watched (Casshan:Robot Hunter) as a little kid when it came on the scifi channel and it was an awesome anime but this live action movie named Casshern just stinks because it's nothing like the anime.There is very little action and the story is a mess...
