So how is the movie?


Ive been waiting awhile to see this movie from Takashi Miike and im wondering how people who have seen it already liked it?

Im almost tempted to order the japanese copy of the dvd and just watch it on my computer instead of dvd player.

Fairly calm and straightforward for a Miike movie. But I found Sukiyaki Western to also be calm and straight unlike his previous stuff too. Very watchable and enjoyable. The japanese dvd does not have eng subs if yu thinking bout it...
Oh yeah and the soundtrack is cool.

the movie is great. its action packed and keeps you interested.

reply

Didn't even know it was a Miike, ain't much of a Miike-expert anyway. Really enjoyed it and the soundtrack really rocked. Hope, I'll find it somewhere.

I got the Malaysian version which has English subs. Get Thee Michelle Gun Ellephant if you enjoyed the soundtrack. Similar sound.

reply

i just got the Malaysian version, shame the subs were a little off language wise (made me laugh sometimes) but its a highly enjoyable movie!

reply

It was alright, not too great. The comedy worked really well, its got quite a bit of laughs in it. Kinda ends on a cliffhanger, but then again Episode 2 is already in the works so it shouldn't be too long of a wait...

reminded me of Volcano High, very tame for a Miike film, but enjoyable

reply

You guys do know that Miike has many "calm" movies right? He DOES make other kinds of movies as well.


I found the film very enjoyable its kind of like a hyper-kinetic high school version of The Warriors or something.

Definately worth picking up if you are a fan of Miikes body of work.

It was quite good, and yet another proof that Miike can develope solid and well fleshed characters.

Is this better than Volcano High? I hope so, I thought that film was rubbish.

P.S. Having trouble finding this on DVD, any tips?
Cheers

You can polish a turd...It's called CGI.

Fear not, this is the total opposite of something like Volcano High.

Did you watch the original or the American version? lol

I find it a cool film. Maybe because of the characters that are enjoyable to watch.

The only thing I didn't like is the girl...
