If this movie was an original creation, i would understand why at moments it would look like one of those 'youtube fan movies'.
But, the source material is right there, - is rich, is vast, is deep, it has heart - and to come up with another B movie, is really sad.
Take the anime tv show from the 80s, you don't have to go to the manga, just the first episode has more soul than this. Take episodes 1-7 right until Phoenix steals the gold armor, and you have your first movie, with great stories, good character development with background depth, several heroes with rich, diverse origins, strong roots and clear purpose within the story.
It's a shame to have good and talented actors like Sean Bean, Famke Janssen and Mark Dacascos, limited by a poorly adapted and a lazy executed project.
