 "One word........... bad!"I love the series but the movie..... how can I put this in words, I know it sucks, big time. The only reason I'm giving this a 2 is because the art is lovely. Even though you will see alot of red.(blood)Their trying to put so much in 100 min. It's just dumb. The only thing I could get out of the stroy was that their is a battle between two sides. And some guy (not the guy on th cover) was after some sword in a girls body, and the only way to get the sword is to kill her. Did I forget to say that they are bother and sister!!! (danm, talk about faimly problems) So just don't be foold by the preety face it's a bad moive. And two more things, I rented this, and get the series it's much better.  "R, please I see worse thing in Lord of the Rings."This Movie is awesome, but the rating ticks me off. R, please, lord of the rings is rated 14A and 18A, and it's live action, some things i see in this movie that deserve an R rating are seen only once or twice in this movie, yet you see similar things 4 or 5 times in Lord of the rings. anyway back to the movie. i've read some other reviews, and i have to say i'm not very pleased with them, for instance, somepeolpe say it's terrible for how some of their favourite characters die right in the beginning, others don't really explain the movie, so heres the review that will tell you what its about. The Movie X {like Escaflowne The movie} is basically a replay of the T.V. Series. It starts off with Kamui seeing his mothers death, which is very tragic, just after she tells him to return to Tokyo city and join the Dragons that will save man kind and he is the Chosen one to fight on Gods behalf. He returns to Tokyo and meets up with his beloved childhood Friend Kotori{prounounced "coat tory"} and her older brother {Also considered like an older brother to Kamui, thow they aren't related} Fuuma {prounounced "Fu ma"} Monou. all of a sudden two Dragons of Earth {Bad Guys}, Show up and try to get Kamui to go with them, Kamui refuses and the three start to fight, just as things start getting topugh for Kamui, The Dragons of Heaven {Good Guys} shopw up to help, the other two Dragons run away and Fuuma and Kotori are taken Prisoners. the Dragons of heaven Convince Kamui {thats prenounced "Cam Way"} to come with them to meet princess Hinoto {Hin o toe} who Kamui has seen in a dream/vision before. She reveals to him that the one who kidnapped his friends was her sister Kanui {"Can a way"} and that right now she iis convincing Fuuma to become a dragon of the earth. She then show kamui what will happen to hie beloved Kotori if he choses to be a dragon of the earth, she show him killing her. Kamui is furiuous, but because he loves Kotori and his mother who asked him to become a dragon of heaven, he chooses the side of Heaven. One by one the Dragons of the Earth and Heaven Die, soon only Kamui and two other dragons are alive, Kotori runs away from the Dragons of earth when Fuuma tries to take the sword of the Earth form her body, she somehow gets to Kamui's hideout and keeps running, Kamui runs for her but Fuuma catche her and kills her taking the sword that belongs to him, He kills Hinoto's sister and the other tweo Dragons of Heaven. Kamui and Fuuma remeet at Tokyo Tower. There the two Dragons fight, at first Kamui tries to convince Fuuma that he is Fuuma and Not Fuuma, but Fuuma clams his old self to be dead. Kamui has no other choice but to fight, he calls forth the sword of heaven and with one final slash. sorry you'll have to watch the movie to see who wins. hope this wasn't too much of a good review, and hope this didn't spoil anything, just to let you know a few of the things i said in this review are somewhat false, and i didn't mention a couple of good things. Hope you get this movie, it's really good. "X rules. Love it, can't watch it though till i'm 15."X is great but because it's rated R i'm keeping I locked up until i turn 15 or i'm 14 and it's 2006. I olove this movie so much it's so cool, but if your 12 or 13 or 14, don't buy if your parents are the type who don't allow you to watch R rated movies then wait till your 15 or 16. but it's really good, but you see i don't understand why it's rated R because there is only one scene of nudity, but you only see the breast, then the rest is all bloody violence, theres no sexual anything, theres no swearing that i've heard, so it's seems more 18A then R.  "horrible ending"the movie stinks. my favorite character of the series dies in the VERY BEGINNING. Hmph. and the way the people died were just horrible (especially Kotori's death). poor Kamui. he's the only main character even alive at the end, which totally sucks. the movie was pretty sad, though it really sucked. like others said, they shouldn't try to fit a manga series of 18+ volumes into a 90 minute movie. the reason i give it a three, it because i started to read the manga, X/1999 and it's pretty good. also, the graphics were pretty good. i hope that the anime series is much better than this.  "Good Movie!!!"I don't see why people dont like it. The art is amazing! But the story line sucks... Im a HUGE fan of X/1999 and I liked the movie. But compared to the books it has no chance. It's not possible to fit the story into 90 mins when it has over 18 manga! Any way the story is different but the arts good and if your a fan of X/1999, you should at least see it. |
