Review of Space Pirate Captain Harlock (2013) by Nico B — 26 Dec 2015

"I want to do this!" "No! "Ok, nevermind." This sums up most of the dialogues of the movie. I'm a fan of the original character and I really wanted to like this movie, it ended to be one of my biggest cinema disappointments ever.

The visuals are really amazing and (from the visual point of view) it makes Matsumoto characters come to life, but it soon turns in a collection of cool scenes and nothing else. The characters keep changing their minds in a couple of minute, things happen and it's impossible to understand how (even with the suspension of disbelief of a sci fi movie, I couldn't understand how some things happening were possible or even why they were happening) and I really hated the fact that Harlock and Yama seemed the same character.
