 "movies like this make me long for a zero star rating"horrendous. this is a glaring example of why any Manga that lasts over 100 pages should be made into a series and not a movie (Akira nonwithstanding). you can see that the characters all have traits and personalities, but we dont get a chance to really know any of them before they are all promptly killed off. and yes, i do mean ALL killed off. one, count em, one main character survives this convoluted debacle. i cant wait to see what they do with the series, cause they certainly cant do any worse.  "excellent"I don't understand why people would say this isn't an amazing anime, i think it is one of the best out there, i saw it on Cable and I am going to buy it this weekend...the art in it is phenomenal and it doesn't get boring at all "A True Crapsterpiece"This has no plot, no emotion, and no character development. Buy the Series its way better than this piece of garbage. They tried to squeeze and epic story into 100 minutes and its just not enough time to show the compexity of the characters and let the conclusion build up. I hear the Manga is great too but I havent read it.  "Not great"Well, let's just say that X:The Movie was a little less then hoped for. For starters...my favorite character died at the very BEGINNING! My friend got this for me as a Christmas present b/c I told him that I wanted to see it (considering that I'm a fan of X). Well, it kinda turned out to be a disappointment, but of course I already knew about the ending b/c some of my friends had already seen it. But, there was just no plot to it. Sure, Kamui comes back to Tokyo to protect Fuma and Kotori...wel, you'd think that that'd be good, but all of the characters die in the stupidest ways. I mean, Karen getting hit by a train?! Ok... The animation is all good, but I'm usually more interested in the storyline first and graphics come next. Of course, it's not like I'd never EVER watch this DVD again. It's good in it's own way, but you don't learn much about any of the characters; not even Kamui. But, X:The Movie does deserve at least 3 stars from me b/c I like X. Word of advice--do NOT watch X the series before watching the movie. The series is 10x better and I recommend it to anyone out there. <~Aiko-otaku~>  "The Series is better"This movie is a waste of your time. I saw X in the theater and was horrified by the bad dubbing. The series is a much better pick. You get to know the characters more and the story is more interesting. Trying to cram so much info (or leaving lots out, whichever you prefer) in two hours was a waste of money and time. |
