Pleasantly surprised
I started this movie with a little to no expectations as the plot didn’t seem to wow me. However, I weirdly really got into it and enjoyed how the plot was structured. It passes time amazingly as I somehow enjoyed it and was kind of upset that it was over.All the characters were really amazing and I loved the mix of personalities they had in the group with all an element of fun/playful nature. All of the main characters are likeable + the hint of romance was unnecessary but was really cute aswell.
The music choice and when it was added amused me as it was so random, added to it’s comedic effect.

Now, most of the screentime is filled with peculiar side-characters. They are supposed to be funny, I'm sure.
Okay... To name something positive about this movie, the music is good (being E-san) and Tono is a good actor. He's really wasting his super dramatic facial expressions here, though. I wish to see him in another 'Fatal Destiny' kind of movie (yeah, movie would be better than another series). This way we're watching musical sequences with camera whirling wildly (to the point to make you nauseous) while filming a completely static scene where nothing major happens.
All in all this movie bored me and haven't stirred at least mild interest in me.

Fun movie
This was a fun, easy to watch, movie. It was silly and campy, perfect for an hour or so of mindless entertainment. The actors all did a good job. The premise was good and there were a couple of things that actually surprised me. I would have to say that I especially loved the familial relationships - the relationship between the husband and wife, and their love for their daughter. Then, the comedy - what fun. The running gags throughout: the guy that slept through the whole thing, the man that everyone sat on, etc. I'm not usually one for slapstick comedy, but it worked here because it was in smaller doses, interspersed with some action.Was this review helpful to you?
The team in shambles, but at the end, they are the Pirate Sentai. My only complain is I wished we have more fight scenes, to be specific, the Marvelous vs. 100 Heroes scene. It felt like they could use some more key (heh) heroes that impacted Marvelous' journey, not just Black Condor.
P.S. Movie has a lot of Easter Eggs for the ones paying attention to Gokaiger and in Super Sentai in general.

Very gray and slightly depressing
This movie is most certainly not a feel good type of thing, but it was the perfect little break form happy fluffy stuff I needed. To be honest it was a bit slow so the entertainment value is not very high but the story itself is pretty interesting, showing a slightly different side to having a spouse badly injured in an accident... When finding out the spouse is injured is followed by, was having an affair and may or may not have been the driver of the car that was responsible for the accident and killed someone... And well this movie does a great job showing the different thoughts and stages the spouses left behind to take care of the mess their cheating "##¤#¤%% of spouse left for them to handle..." At firs I wished I could take her place" this sentence was never finished but we all know he probably changed his mind on that one..,,
The mild sexual content was tasteful and beautifully filmed, as well as was there for a purpose not just for thirsty eyes.
All in all a pretty okay movie, even if it was slightly depressing at times.

Fresh and a unique plot!
I was lucky enough to be able to catch the movie premiere of this show in my country, I've just gotten home, opened up my computer and here I am.[Alert: The movie has quite a few sexual references [7/10 spicy] so do take note!]
Summary:
FUNNY, CUTE, LOVELY, AND A TEAR JERKER. WORTH THE WATCH! AND IM GONNA WATCH IT AGAIN KEKE
PS: These scene description are not considered as spoilers. Its just briefly how the movie starts and how it will start developing
This is the MOST unique and newest storyline I have ever watched! There are ML, FL [Pinky] and FL [XiaoMi/XM]. Before death, ML and XM were the best of friends for years and yay they got into a relationship, and engaged just for a short while before his death. When he was down in the underworld, and after some "You're Dead" process, he decided to be tested to be the God of Love, Yue Lao [an actual god in history and also the chinese name of the movie] and ding ding ding, he passed! And shockers! His partner is Pinky! I wont talk about their past or the major spoilers but wow if I wasnt watching the movie with my mum, I WOULD BE BAWLING!! The romance line was SUPER WELL WRITTEN!! Visual Effects were done SO WELL that they won an award at the Golden Horse Film Awards alongside with other segments. I can't describe much about the movie because theres content and new information every minute and of course it wasn't draggy at all, it grabbed your attention every second and every minute. Other than the romance line, there's a evil plot as well but again, it isnt like what we expect, not your typical stupid revenge plot. Really worth the watch!! Even the after credits scenes were like "OH WHAT?" I am definitely going back to the cinema for this movie soon after its public screening! 10/10 superb!

Good Story Line
This movie had a really good story line, but unfortunately for me it didn't come across, it was poorly excuted.The thing I liked the most is that I watched it solely for the romance factor but it turned out to be so much more than just that.
Where i felt let down was the timeline just didn't seem to flow and as we nearing the end it felt like it was being rushed, the begining of this movie started off a really good foot, and it definately touched on issues that are most likely happening today, but when it came down to it, it just seemed to have been rushed over.
Nagisa, he's the cutest character and his relationship with his daughter, you could feel the love he had for his daughter and how he wanted to be with her, and see the carreer mom, who is caught betweeen to loving her kid but also wanting to progress in life, the thing that I disliked the most was the fact, yes she was hurt by what transpired and possibly felt betrayed or lied too, but it just seemed that she wanted to get back at her husband for lieing to her by using the child, and unfortunately that is the very case in today society and all around us. she allowed her grudge to come between a father and daughter, and her mom who was not really present but seemed to have a lot to say.
Overall: This is a good movie, for me though I just felt there were important things that they should have expanded on and have more of understanding, as it did touch on some serious issues such as rights to raising a child.

It's a weird set up and has so many kinks that really need to be worked out.
What annoyed me most was lack of story. What was there was a promising storyline BUT because the movie seemed to start like we were supposed to already know everyone and the plot seemed to be in the middle or better yet, a whole second movie, I had to keep checking to make sure this was even a standalone. I hate when movies do that. It makes me not even want to bother getting to know the characters because I don't get to see them develop.
Yet... there was something about this movie that once it hit the midway mark, despite my annoyances, it got interesting. Still plot holes from hell-- but interesting.
It's a bittersweet ending. I wish it would kinda explain more on that. Like, I can't be mad. But... I have way to many questions than I have answers.
So, no. I didn't hate this movie and enjoyed it a bit, oddly enough. Is it something I would tell my friends they needed to watch? Absolutely not. But will it help you pass the time? Yes. The only time I'll say you should watch this is if you want to feed more into your nine tailed fox addiction. Lol

Beautiful and conflicting movie
I don’t know why this movie doesn’t have a higher score. To me it was visually such a beautiful film, but beautiful and heart-warming with its story as well. There’s such an interesting contrast between how this movie makes me feel, and what I logically know is actually happening. Beyond the carefree and found family surface is ultimately a crime film, so there’s an underlying current of intensity.The acting was excellent. It’s no surprise that Yoo Ah In delivered an amazing performance, totally using his expressions and no words. But the child actors were also very realistic and talented.
After watching this film I really didn’t know how to feel, and I had a lot of conflicting thoughts and emotions. But I really enjoyed it and wouldn’t change a thing.

This movie gave bits and pieces of what could have been a badass story line..... buuuuut the execution was so awful. If there was a point to the movie, i clearly missed it. It was pretty much just action driven with forced random romance? If you can even call it romance.
If you don't like spiders, dodge this movie completely. I didn't understand the point of all of them, honestly. I felt like Ron from Harry Potter when he found out he was going to have to follow the spiders. Lol ugh it gives me the heebiejeebies.
None of this movie made clear sense to me. If anyone has a clue, I'm totally open to hearing theories or whatever will help shed light on this. Till then, it'll sit at 3 stars and that's just me being nice. I'd give it 1. Lol

Watch for the Zombies Only
****I tried to include as few spoilers as possible!****I came into this initially excited and ready for some action as a zombie lover. Instead, I was mostly disappointed.
Firstly, why did this movie have so much potential? From the very beginning, I knew that this movie could have gone in an interesting direction compared to other zombie films. The zombies looked and acted quite different and new to how they usually are depicted (you know, just a regular human face with maybe some blood and wounds that walk mindlessly). They also included a half-zombie, which isn't something seen usually in the "zombie world".
However, that's pretty much as unique as it got. The storyline quickly got boring and fell victim to the typical tiresome tropes of the zombie genre. I couldn't care less about any of the characters and the half-zombie ends up doing nothing for the rest of the movie (a huge waste of potential).
I truly tried to enjoy this movie, but the only redeemable part of this movie is the zombies. If you want a quick movie to skip through for the zombie scenes, this is for you.

Waste of time
Plot: I undestand the plot and the need to portray very harsh scenes to give the overall image of the prostitution world, but something was really unecessary.. the guy with the goat's fetish? I can't really think of a reason why put all this back-story to a passer-by character! So we have this kind of story but not the twisted final ending??? I get the first one, but the last one? Can't find a reason why sensei has to be so.. cruel? Overbearing in the most twisted way? He knew everything and above all he was plotting all along the guy's life? I can't even think of a insanely, passionate love, because he was always watching him with other men.. so why is all that?Acting: didn't see a good chemistry between the leads, but i appreciated Yuri more
Music: nothing to say about it!
Rewatch: no reason to do it.
If you are looking for a good one i'd suggest: pornographer (+ spring life) or cherry magic.

good!
I felt bad to discover this movie almost 10 years later. The story is pretty good. The actors are amazing. I think they do a great job, the last scene was... speechless.... The beginning is good but It's not so easy to go inside and understand everything, what is understandable, It's because they head are such a mess, but this movie is so good, It's the type of perfect movie to watch in the sunset, It's short and complete, I really hope 10 years later they do a second movie, I know they deserve a more long movie and I'd love to watch their story with the guy in college or even working.Was this review helpful to you?
