Review of Casshern (2004) by Bonnie I — 01 Apr 2008
That was the most drawn out, pretentious, over done piece of crap I have seen. Ok maybe one of... It was enough to put me to sleep and in fact almost did. Think I would have had more enjoyment watching grass grow.
I'm a bit pissed off, can you tell? I just wasted over two hours of my existence trying to stay awake. Sure I loved the imagery, some of it was fantastic but after watching it for awhile that's pretty much all it was.
An excuse to have a string of great imagery put together along with melodrama and dialogue that amounted to drivel. Drawn out drivel!
In the beginning it was a tad confusing and pretty slow but when the Neo Sapiens proclaimed themselves I thought maybe it was going to turn around.
Boy was I disappointed. I spent the rest of the time rolling my eyes and yawning. I had to mute the sound half way through because, although the soundtrack could have been great, it only added to making it feel like it was going on for ever and didn't even seem to match the movie. It started to drive me nuts.
The story line wasn't too bad though it's just if they had of cut a lot of it out and made it tighter then it may have been easier to watch but as it was it was just scene after scene of drawn out bull.
Basically more real action (not whimsical action) was needed & less melodrama. Pretentious try hards...
