IMPACT!!!

The opening was better.

 

[Stinkles]

Goemon is the Japanese equivalent of Robin Hood. The Konami game and lots of other media are based on that legend.

 

[Veidt]

Wow this looks great.

 

[fortified_concept]

Casshern's story was non-nonsensical but the art in both movies is amazing. How on earth can you people not see that the CG were created on purpose that way?

 

[Dresden]

Well, fuck, I thought you guys were talking about the Casshern--anime--director, not the live action movie one.

Don't want.

Saw this listing when I was trawling through imdb.com the other day.

Who the heck greenlit this shit? No idea why anyone cares about it for. The director destroyed any semblance of Casshern when he did the movie, and he looks set to do the same with an original product? Japanese filmmakers cannot create a decent epic action flick (that doesn't involve period samurai or yakuza) to save their lives.

HEY!!!, Japan Sinks was watchable :lol

Wow this looks great.

Don't get your hopes up

 

[Veidt]

Don't get your hopes up

Ah shit.

 

[harSon]

Ah shit.

I haven't seen it yet, just saying, this director's trailers tend to be 873893738739637356x better than his actual movies. Could be good but I would keep your hopes down a bit.

 

[Deku]

really bad CG

Edit: If you guys want to see how much better Cashern is from every other anime adaption, check out Yatterman from Takashi Miike: http://twitchfilm.net/site/view/full-theatrical-trailer-for-miikes-yatterman-brings-the-madness/ Stick to low budget crime films bro!

WTF? I thought Yatterman was absolutely brilliant. Much better than any of the Dead Or Alive films.

What exactly was wrong with it in your opinion?

Like I said in an other thread: Everyone who liked Speed Racer needs to see Yatterman.

That post was made before the movie came out, still haven't seen it and I'm not sure I ever will, I'm not exactly emotionally connected to the IP and I can't bring myself to watch a Miike family film

 

[Count Dookkake]

Coming from someone who has seen it (and in a theater) the Yatterman movie is spectacular fun. Amazing special FX, good jokes, hot chicks. Its only problem is that it is a bit too long.

Casshern looked pretty good considering it had a $6 million budget.

This just looks like a bunch of PS1 era CGI cutscenes. A lot of scenes look like Casshern shot for shot.

 

[BlazingDarkness]

looks fantastic visually

casshern was good but it was edited really badly, none of the fight sequences had any impact because the camera would cut away whenever anyone threw a punch

will watch goemon

 

[Krev]

Casshern's action had no impact because the effect of watching one of the scenes is numbing. A lot of the ideas should theoretically be visually spectacular, but when the battles are just one long string of those moments they quickly become totally uninteresting.

Also, the pacing was horrendous.

Nobody seems to think that Goemon was an improvement, so I'm not exactly in a rush to see it.

 

[Anasui Kishibe]

Japan and CGI is still a weird mix I see

meh, at least it doesn't look as bad as the Starblazer one

Saw the first 15 mins of Goemon it looks bad... no more like it looks very fake, you can tell they film it using the green screen, everything looks so fake.

Some of it just looks like it was reskinned to fit the new art change :lol

 

[I AM JOHN!]

Ah fuck you all, I liked Casshern. Maybe it's because I have no knowledge of the original, but whatever. It's nothing amazing, but it was still pretty damn cool. This, though... oh man. Jocchan's got it right - it looks like they put actors on top of pre-rendered PS1 CG cutscenes. This makes the CG in G.I. Joe look good.

 

[teiresias]

Where the hell is Kobun Cat?

 

[Troidal]

I saw it in theaters when it came out. I didn't like Casshern, but this one was awesome. It's the same CG quality and cinematics, but far more entertaining imo. It also helps I like most of the actors and actress in it :-D
