I'm pretty sure it came out in japan already, but it's being released today.

I'm having seond guesses about watching this.

EDIT: Hey isn't that the Teacher from Battle Royale?

 

[sprsk]

yes it is.

I have a feeling alot of people wont like the ending. It was a good try but it wasnt developed enough. (the ending i mean)

 

[Wario64]

Yes he is. And uhh, apparantly my bro got the VCD somehow

I probably won't watch it though

 

[neptunes]

thank you sp0rks.

I'll watch this over DodgeBall (I'll see that some other time)

Anyone know if they touched up the bad CG? Some of it was just so... off.

I liked the movie, but I can see a lot of people grousing about it... the pacing is pretty slow, but if you've seen other Beat Takeshi movies, you'll know what to expect.

hehe

He's Takeshi Kitano and he's a major star. He's directed tons of amazing films, including Zatoichi and starred in and creating dozens of television shows.

I loved him in Battle Royale

 

[RiZ III]

It was ok. Plot was lame imo.
Minor minor spoiler:

Loved the dance/music sequence at the very end.

 

[nitewulf]

you ppl suck...

 

[fart]

good stuff. go see it.

 

[Nos_G]

Everyone that watches SpikeTV knows him as (Count Takeshi) Vic Romano...

MXC/Takeshi's Castle

I wonder if he is getting royalties for MXC...

 

[soakrates]

I thought it was excellent; liked it better than Kill Bill Vol. 1 myself. Sp0rks has a point about the ending, though. It's a little rushed, but not enough to really subtract any enjoyment from the film overall.

that part was amazing... i felt so pumped up just watching that, that i wanted to get out of my seat and just dance

 

[mrkapawutzis]

The CG blood was kind of distracting

 

[Bebpo]

which country is it being released in today?

US release seems like July 24th?

 

[Draff]

It's out in Canada.

 

[neptunes]

Yeah that's what I meant, It's out in canada.

 

[Die Squirrel Die]

It came out in the UK a few months ago.

I enjoyed it, but I think you'll get more out of it if you don't judge it too much as a cohesive film, but instead just enjoy each scene for what it is.

 

[sefskillz]

Very slow paced, but most of his stuff is. I liked it, but at the time I saw it I felt it was a bit overrated. It seems the hype has calmed a bit.

I wish it would have worked out where Miike would have directed it as planned.

 

[ourumov]

I saw the original version on a small cinema of Barcelona on the time it was released (on cinemas). I enjoyed it a lot, it's a different pace as some others say but you can see a bit of Kurosawa influence coupled with nowadays techniques...
Great film.

I think the US release dates are up in the air. We're dealing with Miramax after all.
