Unlimited Blade Works...
There's not really much to say here, but I'm going to give it an honest critique's shot.
Originally I thought it was going to be great! So many people kept telling me how awesome it was, and that I should really watch it; unfortunately, I listened to them.
Currently I am still finding people who think it was good and I'm honestly surprised. So now I have to weigh the pros (somehow find those) and the cons.
Pro: There's a ton of action.
Con: The action is OVERKILL (literally)
Pro: Different pov from awesome anime!
Con: Messed up original story (which was a winning story)
Con: Messed up original story (which was a winning story)
(And some people like the following while others can't stand it)
BLOOD! EVERYWHERE!
Little girl is killed gruesomely.
This massive gory murder gives Elfen Lied a run for its money!
Just about everyone dies a horrible death.
I'm so serious. Now that I know what Fate Zero is going to be like, there's not a chance that I'm going to watch it.
If you like this movie, and try to defend it saying "The plot was dynamic!" Then you should actually be watching Fate/Stay Night. The only good you'll find in this was taken from Fate/Stay Night, but this should to no degree be a substitute for the anime.
Unlimited Blade Works was like a corrupt version of the anime that tried to jam pack 24 episodes (while totally messing them up and changing crap) into one movie. The result was very bad.
Then you also might say "But there were interesting new twists" Yes, yes there were. But does this make the movie worth watching? Not a chance. That's like getting hit by a car and getting a stick of gum for compensation. Not only are you left a little bit dead on the inside, but you also wasted 144 minutes of your life.
Alright I'm just saying, I watched this movie, and even if it weren't for the insane amount of blood and murder, I still wouldn't have liked it. The story was way too rushed and the events that happened were just ridiculous and didn't seem thought through at all. The story lacked so much, and you might say "Well you needed to watch the anime first!" But in fact, it's a different point of view, so you shouldn't have to. It's not a sequel nor is it a prequel. It's a movie and it should be able to stand by itself.
Overall Rating: (1/10)
That's the realistic score. Otherwise I'd put 0, or something in the negatives.
I'm disappointed in where most humans are today. Enjoying the suffering of others in movies. Call it fake if you want, but this has a strong effect on your subconscious mind. The more of this you watch, the more corrupt it becomes.
If you feel like there shouldn't be so much violence and hate in the world, understand that it should be started by avoiding watching movies such as these which promote those two vices.
If you try to say your reason of watching this is "But it has (an) awesome ____!" Then that's just a pathetic excuse to justify watching something so psychopathic.
That's my review. Thanks for reading.
Don't look forward to more on this movie.
