Movie Reviews of Sailor Moon S - The Movie
Movie Review: Less Action, More Movie
Summary: 4 Stars
the story is typical sailor moon: evil villain wants to destroy the world for personal benefit. sailor moon & co. stop evil villain in a great action scene with terrific music. love triumphs over all in the end. sailor moon fans have seen it before. the Sailor Moon S movie is a must-see for sailor moon fans, not because of english dub weaknesses (of which there are many; but the dub has its strengths too), or because it's sailor moon, or because it's better than the other two movies (which it is not, in my opinion) but because it contains that great jewel of the sailor moon series: character depth. the whole thing that makes the sailor moon series enjoyable is the fact that the characters are capable of so much emotion that they feel real, despite the fact that they are animated. luna's love for kakeru is poignant, usagi's love for mamoru is heartfelt, the outer senshi make a great addition to the movie, and the music is terrific as usual.
the R movie has a better plot, and the SS movie has a weaker climactic scene, leaving the S movie comfortably ranked among the movies. definitely one for the video (or DVD) collection.
Movie Review: Knights in White Satin
Summary: 4 Stars
Well, let me start off saying the sub is far better than the dub. But, then again, do I really need to say that? Most of the voices were really bad. You can barely make out what Sailor Uranus, Neptune, and Pluto were saying. Sailor Uranus just sorta blurted it out really fast and that was it. The story was ok, although my brother could not make out as to why the Ice Queen sent out those crystals to earth, only to start looking for them again as if they were lost. The animation however was excellent, most of the story is too. I particularly like it when they finally give importance to Luna. She is mostly portrayed really strict. And yet in this one, we finally see the softer side of Sears...err...I mean Luna. In the end their suits turn all white and the sequence is beautiful. I actually gave it more stars than what I thought, mainly because I'm an über moonie. I strongly suggest you buy the sub. Also, Sailor Moon R movie is the best Sailor Moon movie out there. So, I suggest you buy the SMR movie before the SMS one. That one was well made, although some of the dubbing changed the story a little, it remains loyal to the original.Movie Review: Good fun and very cute, but stay away from the dub
Summary: 4 Stars
An intersting film, not as good as it could have been, ie it could have focused a lot more on the outer soldiers, especially the beautiful yet ruthless Haruka. Ive seen all 200 eps of Sailor Moon and this film definatly helped reduce the withdrawal (sic?) symptoms. If your a fan of Sailor Moon and want to see more, them I would recommend all 3 films. A word of warning, make sure you get a subtitled copy. My DVD was bilingual, and after I'd watched it I tried to see what it was like dubbed - oh dear. The dubbed version is so bad that I couldn't bring myself to watch more than about 5 minutes. Seriously, if you thought that DIC made a balls-up of Sailor Moon then you havn't seen Pioneers effort. Bad dubbing aside this is a very nice film and a must see if you like Luna. I would recommend the DVd as it is a good opertunity to compare the two verions.Movie Review: Pretty Good DVD for Moonies, Just Keep it on Japanese
Summary: 4 Stars
Sailormoon S is a strange movie. I didn't think it was all that good the first time I saw it, but it grew on me. I have rewatched it almost as much as the incredible R movie, and it got better with each viewing. Granted, it's still not nearly as good as the R movie. The DVD version is the best bet for moonies with a DVD player. The picture and sound quality is pretty good and the extras, while not nearly as good as some movies, are a nice bonus. Just make sure you KKEP IT ON THE JAPANESE TRACK! Trust me, it is much better that way. BTW, since this review will appear under the other versions (with a note saying this is about the DVD), let me say now that I give the dubbed tape a 1 and a half. So, do yourself a favor and if you like Sailormoon, get the DVD or if you don't have a DVD player, go for the subbed video.Movie Review: Top Reason to See This: Luna as a HUMAN
Summary: 4 Stars
I bought the subbed version through Amazon. Pioneer did a pretty good job and was similar to VKLL too! and VKLL did an awesome job with the R and SuperS movie. The original music was beautiful. Of course being that this is S.M. there were some very funny points in the movie. Usagi and Chibi-Usa's hijinx it made the movie enjoyable. Although there was some humor this was not completely a comedic film. It was mostly a drama with heartfelt pitty on poor Luna who fell in love with Kakeru (an astronomer.) Like the other movies the developement of the characters has been expanded compared to the original japanese version. There is a point in which Luna (while still a cat) cries her sorrows out to Usagi, it makes you feel her pain and suffering as well. In the end your tears will vanish away with smiles.
