Title: Pretty Damn Cool
Review: Ok. I'm going to be as honest as I can be. I've always had a fascination with Japanese culture. This movie is set in Heian Japan, and is a fantasy movie. It's sort of like Harry Potter set in ancient Japan, but with adult protagonists. As some other reviewers have said, it can have a B-movie quality at times. In fact, for the first 15 minutes, i burst out laughing multiple times because of this. But, once you get used to it, it's a great movie. The costumes, the culture...it really is a cool movie once you acclimate yourself to it. If you are interested in ancient Japanese culture and myths, this movie is really worth it. And as I was watching it, I thought this would really be a fun movie for kids to see....BUT, it does have some pretty gruesome depictions of death, such as a corpse laying in a riverbed, that would not be suitable for children under 12.
Is the review positive or negative?
