Movie Reviews of Initial D
Movie Review: The one that raised the bar
Summary: 5 Stars
The is hands down the best car film. The innovative camera angles, mounted far shots right on the front bumper, to the deep and engaging storyline. Like most people, I bought this live action flick because I'm a huge fan of Initial D Manga and Anime. I was intrigued as to how they would be able to film and tell this story, mostly because it has a massive original story, to encompass that into 2 hours is most difficult. I believe the way it turned is excellent considering they had to change the storyline slightly from the original to have appeal as a standalone film. From beginning to end, this HK car flick is full of beauty, class, and professionalism, something not seen a whole lot in HK car flicks. Everything has a sense of artistic view, be it from mountain and Lake Akina shots, to the intense downhill battles, to the character dialogue. The camera work is absolutly stunning, and raises the bar not only for HK films, but the way they should be done here aswell.Movie Review: excellent
Summary: 5 Stars
I have read many of the reviews, and I realize that this movie is a condensed form of the anime series, however, I have to admit that this movie was excellent. Try comparing this movie to the first two incarnations of Fast and Furious (especially #2), I would have to say that Initial D is by far the superior.
The storyline is basic but enjoyable, with the main characters getting a decent amount of screen time. However, what sets the movie apart is the cars! I am a car nut, and I love the way the cars, ranging from the RX-7 to the Trueno, were cleanly built and well crafted to fit the mold from the anime. The drifting sequences were breath-taking, including the final racing sequence (I'll let you watch that).
Please remember that this is geared mainly for those that enjoy cars and drifting, then I highly recommend this.
Movie Review: D rocks
Summary: 5 Stars
Guys look I know that by the reviews that the movie is not like the manga anime series but for what it is the movie is a fun action comedy that you can enjoy. Aleast you don't have to dramatize it into a life or death situaition like the Fast and Furious series has beeen doing. This has cool racing scenes and sweet cars doing the best drifting i've ever seen. And not to mention the comidic side of this story works and Anthony Wong is the man. If you hate this movie just because it did not stay true to the anime then you are being unfair to this movie. This is a fun film to watch and you will find it refreshing to see as Initial D will take you to the wildest drift of your life.Movie Review: The ultimate anime turned live action adaptation ever.
Summary: 5 Stars
This is a good example of a anime series turned live action movie is done right. It is amazing how Tai Seng Entertainment were able to stay true to the manga and anime series. It truly the movie that shows the world the new racing phenomenon known as Drifting. The only other movie I think of that comes close to this is The Fast & The Furious: Tokyo Drift. If you want an anime series turned live action movie done right, look no further than to Initial D to see.Movie Review: good drift movie
Summary: 5 Stars
I never watched the animated series. I saw this movie a few years ago, my cousin had it and i loved the movie. One day I randomly decided to have a copy of my own and at $5 it was well worth it. If you like movies about racing, more specifically about drifting, im sure you will enjoy this movie.
*originally in japanese but dubbed in english and also includes the option for subtitles
