Pocket movie reviews
Jul. 13th, 2008 12:01 amResident Evil: Extinction: Ouch, the suck.
Casshern: Whee! The suck!
Which, I guess, goes to show that you don't have to have a major franchise or a big star or make any damn sense to be fun. RE:E is so obviously edited down for certificate that it's insulting, and has about one-fifth the content you'd expect in an actual movie. Was the director one of these music-video guys? Casshern's director was one of those guys, which is probably why the first half is baffling hyper-kinetic manga nonsense and the second half wobbling, confused exposition, but it's damn refreshing. The big fight between our hero and the neoroid with delusions of Magneto is a hoot. Yay live-action anime! Yay pretty-boy goons with purple fur stoles! Boo vapid franchise Umbrella Are Eeevil Cos They Are nonsense and cheeseball powers and unscary zombies (though yay BMW touring bike and yay Claire).
