I kind of liked the Casshern movie well enough to have bought the dvd (yep, I did such a thing!) Only complaint I had really was the length and the overstuffing of themes. There were actually some great dialogue and some good scenes, though I can't say the same for film in its entirety. Visually, though, it's pretty epic.
I can't wait to see the remake. It sounds ace. |
