"Waste of my time?"
date: January 22, 2003
I have this problem.. when my ears tell me, "na gut, ist ja Rammstein, toll!", my eyes somehow expect violent, beautiful and symbolic imagery to follow not long after. So obviously, if what they see instead is pure shite, tremendous disappointment follows.
Hmm.. I notice many dislike the voice acting in this thing. Well duh? Recording anything requires quality equipment and appropriate surroundings. I have to strain myself to hear what the characters are saying, and what little I hear is so horribly cliche it's almost painful. Bad acting doesn't make the picture any prettier.
Oddly enough some people actually like the graphics? Evil! They're horrible. Anime is a very difficult style to master, and if you don't, just don't try to pretend that you do, ok?
The animation is hardly believable too, except for that half a second when Badly-Drawn Buffy Ripoff does a backflip. For the rest of the movie there's no good use of perspective, no atmosphere, sloooow cutting for an action scene, the characters are all completely rigid while they're being massacred by a girl who keeps changing proportions, etc.
I could go on, but I don't wanna. Just weird that this is on the front page in stead of, like, the Recycle bin where it belongs.
