 "WARNING:Miike does not deliver..."After having seen Audition, Ichi the Killer, Dead or Alive, City of Lost Solus, etc etc. And trusting Miike to always deliver an amazing display of action, gore and very intense scripts I blindly bought FMY only to discover that even great minds are also affected by a lapse of unimaginative stupidity, a total lack of sense for storyline, characters that aren't even worthy of appearing with Sponge Bob Square Pants and semi-special effects that WILL(Yes I really mean it)MAKE YOU CRY. This movie isn't even worth the plastic it came wrapped in and if you want to still consider Miike as a good director save yourself the trouble of watching this very very very very very painful experience. I expect that someday in the future Miike makes a public appearance apologizing for this gruesome, ill-conceived, pest infested worthless thing he so boldly decided to call a movie.....  "not what i was expecting"having recently become a takashi miike fan i thought id give this one a spin, and while it wasn't a total disappointment, it did leave something to be desired. i was expecting something that would stimulate me on both a visceral level and an intellectual level as well. sadly it did neither. it had neither the amount of gore or the level of wit and symbolism ive come to expect from miike. all in all worth a rent, but im glad i didnt blindly buy it. |
