Mang lung (2005)
Worst Asian flix EVER made.
Non existent plot, tons of poorly directed / super-cheesy scenes (Snipers / world famous sharpshooters who can't even hit their targets a few feet away? plus what's up with the ending?---> a bunch of law enforcers vandalizing a carnival's shooting gallery? WTH?), technical mistakes (how many bullets can you fit into a magazine of a glock? 100+? These people fire their guns without the need of reloading). The movie is so bad that even senior Hollywood actor like Michael Biehn (Aliens, terminator) can't save this junk.
DO not watch this movie (I realized that I wasted some good 100 minutes of my precious life on this one). Hopefully the director would either stop making movies, or learn more for his next movie.
Casshern (2004)
An excellent movie.
It's About: Wars, Stem-cell research (spare parts for human?), Genocide, Deception.
The look: Very Artistic + Surreal The Universe looks like: Post apocalyptic world of Ozamu tezuka's Atom boy, the movie "blade runner", Sakura wars, steam boy, Final Fantasy 7, Final fantasy 3, Samurai Seven, Akira (all these combined).
The protagonist reminds me of: "gray fox" from Metal Gear Series.
Sounds like: Bleach (you will remember some of the OST from Bleach anime) Some parts are: Laughable by People who study Medicines (i.e. You don't need a surgical mask working in the lab's observation chamber).
PRO: Strong Intro, Interesting plot, Provocating story, Great Musical score CON: Bad translation (some parts) making the movie less comprehensible by English Speaker. Ending can be perplexing. Boring journey to "sector seven." A lot of: Bishonen / Bishoujo / Cool Tokusatsu Poses / Silly Original Manga's robots.
Watch it? Buy it?: BOTH. Watch it here and buy the High Def 3DVD box set.
