maddoxcruise This was a GREAT movie! I loved every minute of it. Wonderful story telling, unique and great visuals, cool characters. I was really into it. I enjoyed the fight scenes and the humor involved. I rate it 10 stars. I wish there were more good movies like this out there
Osmosis Iron This is by no means a masterpiece, but it's a cool fantasy/action flick with beautiful and cool scenery, interesting characters and cool fight scenes! It has flaws, but if you go in with an open mind and don't expect too much you shall be entertained!
Kirpianuscus old well known story. fight scenes. basic virtues as honor, courage and sacrifice. two cultures. pop art inspiration. memories about "Kill Bill". and few good Romanian actors in small roles. maybe, the last detail is the motif to see, for me, as more than a decent film. because, in essence, it is an embroidery of imagination and a kind of popular philosophy. nothing bad . and , not ignoring Woody Harrelson and Ron Pearlman, the reasonable job of Josh Hartnett and Gackt Camui, it could be an interesting proposition. not real credible but a good visual delight. and this is a good motif to see it.
Mike-DD I read a quick synopsis of the movie and was interested enough to watch this. Besides, it had Woody Harrelson, and I love his acting styles and the characters he's played before.The narration sets you up for what's to come: "there are more ways of killing a man than there is of making bread". I thought the opening sequence was inspired - a cartoonish origami-cum-puppet style that was moderately amusing as well.There are no guns, so there is a lot of close-quarter fighting. The choreography is decent but there was much room for improvement. For a movie that tries to rely on its story and humor but doesn't do a good job, it needs to make sure its fight action is good. The wooden acting is not easily overlooked as well. Harrelson and Hartnett are good actors with excellent resumes - I felt cheated at how the film and cheesy script did not exploit their natural potential. Woody Harrelson has the best lines (relatively speaking), which aren't many, but they are funny. And it is fun seeing how the different assassins are dispatched.I did like the artistic style of the movie though. I found it a cross between Sin City and a live-motion version of Speed Racer. Animation using cutouts are used, some background objects look like stage props, etc.Overall, it is a good story not very well told yet still manages to be sufficient. Those who enjoyed Sin City will enjoy this, just on a lower level.
