Dragonball Evolution (2009)
Wow..... Just...Wow.
I finished watching this movie... I must admit i didn't legally watch this movie. This is a mockery to every single aspect of what is probably the most influential manga/anime series ever. This is NOT Dragonball. It's Spider man with Dragon ball characters... scratch that characters with dragonball names in it. The story is incredibly simple. It's the type of script where nothing but a piece of paper on a desk and someone just took a dump on it and BAM you have DBE. The Director seemed to put less effort in this movie than a fart and the acting was so weird. It's not that the acting was bad (it wasn't good either) it's just they weren't portraying the characters they where supposed to.
Goku, the strongest character in any series and the most happy-go-lucky man-child into a teen aged idiot who seems to be more awkward that the one kid in the corner with a pocket protector, glasses and a inhaler with no friends. This is just sad. I saw the preview and I knew Goku wasn't going to be like Goku but a Gohan but i was wrong... He's a Peter Parker only even more awkward and even less interesting. Bulma is TRYING to be smart and pulls really crappy Puns. It's just not funny. Just stay away from this Movie. Enough sequels Get someone new that knows how to direct, and PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE don't pay to watch this movie. I don't want fox to earn a dime off of butchering my favorite childhood show.
Trinity Blood (2005)
Very interesting and amazing story which is even bigger in the novels.
This show exceeded my expectations. People on here say the story is a bit cliché....ehhhhh, not really. It did have some cliché themes in anime such as brother hating brother and stuff which i thought at first was just stupid until the story progressed and I found out they actually have a REASON to hate one another. Over all the story seriously dropped my jaw.
Characters: The character development in the show is VERY well done. I was amazed at the differences and mysteries surrounding each and every character. Abel Nightroad seems like a goofy idiot(which is entertaining) yet when he transforms becomes Serious,brutal, vicious, yet warm in it's own way. Esther's character i have to say was better developed in the novels but I'm not complaining since I like her story in both. The other characters.... you'll just have to see for your self.
Art/Animation: The Art and animation is incredible. The detailed landscapes and settings are eye candy and so pretty to look at. The character designs are amazing as well and have fine little details that truly amaze me. The Crusniks' designs are truly beautiful and creepy in it's own way.
Story/plot: I remember when I first heard of the show being about Vampires (methuselas) I was afraid it was going to turn out like a Twilight rip off in anime form. I was sorely mistaken. This story reinvents the entire concept of Vampires. The political turmoil and cold war that takes place in the series is amazing but the real mystery is the back story of the main character Ax Agent Abel Nightroad Code Name Crusnik. If you watch the story. The main question you will ask your self is "What is a Crusnik." Well you'll find out soon enough if you watch it.
Action: This is a show that doesn't rely on over the top gore and massacres to be scary. The action it self is rather tame compared to other animes. Don't be fooled. Just because the action is tamer doesn't mean it's not as good or creepy. Whenever the Crusnik appears it keeps you on the edge of your seat. The first time he appears will leave you saying "What the hell just happened?!"
overall: I love this show.. It's amazing. Check it out it's really worth the watch. It's short yeah but good news. If you watch the entire show and still wanna learn more about it skip the manga(it's not really that interesting) and Go read the Novels. They're sold in normal bookstores. One more thing. Those who only watch the anime only know half the story ;)
The Ninth Gate (1999)
an OK film i guess.
I rented this movie because I have a thing for supernatural films or anything dealing with the paranormal. I read the synopsis on the back of the cover and I thought it was going to be a wonderful film. I was Sorely disappointed. This film was OK. it wasn't anything spectacular and the story is hardly implied. The ending was a bit unusual, the score for the film was completely terrible and did not match the scenes the scores where composed for. Dialog is vague at times and the acting was a bit mediocre. I Don't recommend anyone to see this film if you don't want to be bored for an hour and a half. Though it's just my opinion if you Don't believe me go watch it your self.
AVPR: Aliens vs Predator - Requiem (2007)
it actually wasn't that damn bad
This movie actually wasn't so bad. Look, people, this is supposed to be a fun movie not nessacarly (not sure if i spelled it right if not excuse my spelling) an Oscar film. I didn't go to the movie to see superb acting or a Super interesting plot or storyline. I came to see what the name suggests Alien Vs Predator. I was impressed as well. Not saying this is the greatest flick in the world. But in my opinion go buy the DVDs and watch it with your buddies while having a few beers or just hanging out ya know?. It's an entertaining movie,very faced paced, and action packed. i mean I'm a sci-fi geek and this was actually a pretty cool movie. I'd give it a 6.5 out of ten.
