Review of Lady Death (2004) by Jess B — 06 May 2009

Whats that saying? Hell hath no furry like a Woman scorned?

Im pretty sure they were talkin bout her.

Lady Death was pretty fricken sweet. This movie rocked of hardcore brutal death,and despairage.There was skull bashing,head slicing and blood splattering, all the things you love in a movie right? Not to mention Lady Death has some killer big ***s.

Anyway if you're a fan of Barbarian epics, I think you'll like this. Yeah it coulda been more brutal, there should have been a gigantic fire breathing dragon or something but, it still kicked a$$.

As great as the Wonder Woman movie was, this was much better in terms of action, but im afraid that WW had this beat in terms of story and presentation. Although this had some really nice visuals, besides Lady Death's massive chest.

Anyway where was I ? Oh yah , I think this movie should be granted a sequel. I'd totaly say it's on par if not better than the cult film Heavy Metal.(another death metal homage). So If dark anime is your thing, you gotta check this out.

Think about this, what kind of a statement is it when Satan is your father and you visciously murder him with no regret? I think thats pretty bold.

What other characters can actualy say that? I mean she overcame the mass armies of hell itself ( with a little help of course ).

The movie is a tad anticlimatic. You'd think the ruler of all evil and darkness would be just a little more powerful but nawww. Turns out he can get his head chopped off and die fairly easily.

I cant say for sure how well it stacks up compared to the comics, but Im betting they missed a few things. I read from the creator that he is quite disatisfied with this release, so there is much need for improvement.

I'd love to see Lady Death get more attention, she is just as badass as Spawn ( well not quite thats cutting it a bit close ), and definetly more badass than He-man ever was or will be. I also like that shes not a very mainstream character. Theres no badder b*tch around as far as im concerned not even the Witchblde holds a candle to LD.

Any comic buff or sci fi fan should check this out no questions asked just pick it up, put it in and enjoy. Its not the holy covenant of animation spectaculars but, you could do far worse.
