Title: loved the 1973 &1994 cartoons, hated this
Product review: I watched with the Japanese audio and subtitles. This movie started out well enough, but quickly stopped being entertaining. A friend who was not familiar with the source material watched it with me and really couldn't follow what was going on. I don't think the film was well written, it's very convoluted. Also, something about the CG and colors used in the movie made my eyes hurt a little. Overall, a huge disappointment.Most of the acting was good, the music was about a 50/50 split for me. The robot designs were also pretty neat, many of them followed the originals pretty closely. I wish they had been featured more prominently.Minor SPOILER ALERT!The BK androids are zombies in this movie. Yeah. But they do command robot armies, so that's... almost OK? Add in a mechanical stone lighting bolt that never gets explained and other subplots completely unrelated to the 1973 original and you've got a disaster.
