Movie Reviews of Versus (Director's Cut)
Movie Review: a little Ichi the Killer and a little Izo, with a dash of cheese
Summary: 5 Stars
whoa, what a fun movie, for fans of Takashi Miike's stuff, or over the top Asian cinema in general should check this one out. essentially it follows an escaped convict trying to initially cut a deal with the mob to aid his escape, but when things go wrong and people start getting shot, things get weird. the first dead body stands back up, only to be filled with about 50 bullets before falling back to the ground.
the chaos begins when our main character, a feminist, was introduced to the female hostage. after multiple warnings the gangsters wouldnt release her. after all hell breaks loose, the chase through the forest begins, and gradually our hero and the girl begin to regain their memory, and their place in a much bigger picture.
acting wasnt horrible, although pretty over the top. camera work was decent. the gore effects were awsome for the most part. the story was interesting but could've been explained much better. basically, if you want a non stop blood bath of carnage with too many guns, samurai swords, and body parts to count, then check out this movie immediately!
Movie Review: what if Yuen Wo-Ping did this movie??? hmmmmmm
Summary: 5 Stars
Prisoner KSC2-303 escapes with a fellow inmate and flees to an anonymous forest to a rendezvous with a group of men who will lead them to a safer place. When the men ultimately arrive with a female hostage in tow and with fueled by more sinister intentions, they kill his partner and KSC2-303 flees with the girl into the woods, which turn out to be the legendary "Forest Of Resurrection", one of 666 portals to "the other side". It's then a non-stop battle against the living dead and cunning assassins to simply stay alive, let alone find freedom.Although this movie showed about 20 or so minutes of zombie action (if you're expecting this to be a zombie film), it is still a very awsome movie. A very good plot, great effects, tight gore, great fight scenes and, everything you expect from a movie. Better than any Hollywood movie in my fact. Get it on DVD. This movie is a cross between EVIL DEAD and BLADE. BUY IT NOW!

Movie Review: This is the greatest movie ever made.
Summary: 5 Stars
Actually, describing this as the best movie ever made is not enough. This is not mere cinema, but a true life changing event. Forget descriptions of the plot - it is pointless. But that is the true Nietzschean beauty of "Versus": it is the visual expression of creating meaning out of the meaninglessness void of existence through the artistic creation of personal style. And what style! Actually, everything Nietzsche wrote about is in here. Rejection of rules put in place by slave mentality? It's in here! The uberman overcoming regular man? It's in here! The pleasure and humor of the savage hero expressing his skill? It's in here! Eternal return? No one knows what the heck eternal return is, but it's in here anyway!
After watching this epiphany on aluminized plastic disk, the sky will look a little bluer and every blade of grass will be in sharp focus. You will look for a mountain to climb, and when you reach the peak you will scream to the world that you are alive! Alive!! Yes, it is that good.
Movie Review: 5 stars
Summary: 5 Stars
Versus was a movie that kept my attention the whole way through. Very graphic and full of wit and humour, Versus is an over the top type of movie. Every aspect seemed to be filmed and portrayed in a manner which exploited all charactors and situations in there most intense essence. It was almost a cross between Kill bill, Terminator 2, and Fist of The Northstar(the series). Many comparisons have been made to the Evil Dead movies, Versus is similar in that you walk away from it with a similar excitement. Versus is defitley a dvd I will watch numerous times without getting bored with it.Movie Review: Must have!!!
Summary: 5 Stars
What can be said that hasn't already been said about Versus?
Altough you have to check your brain at the door, this film is non stop action and in my opinon possibly the best action film from Japan in many years. Directed by Ryuei Kitamura, who recently directed Godzilla Final Wars. This was his first film with a budget, and also his best. Very recommened. This Tokyo Shock 2 disc set is also fantastic. Thank you Tokyo Shock for treating this film right!
