Negative Positive
Title: Disappointing
Review: When I was a kid, me and the neighbor kids got together and decided to make a movie one day. We used a camcorder that their parents owned, and used their back yard as our set. Ketchup was blood. Ikari is several orders of magnitude better than what we produced. That does not mean that this is a good film, however. The narrative is not bad. The rest is. I am a fan of anime, and in the context of anime, this doesn't measure up, despite the creators' best intentions. I feel like I could have done something better with the eighty or so minutes I spent watching. Sorry, I had high hopes. Fans of anime looking for a live action approach should try the subtitled version of Kung Fu Hustle. Yes, it's produced by a big studio with a lot of money, not a noble indie film maker. The fact remains that Kung Fu Hustle is a good movie, and Ikari isn't.
Is the review positive or negative?
