Review of Casshern

Casshern (2004)
7/10
A film I must definitely see again
10 August 2007
I consider Casshern (2004) to be hugely underrated. It is a thoughtful film which borrows heavily from anime techniques and the blend is awesome, giving the film some sort of a 3D-feeling - without getting too cliché while I am at it but the mix between animation and real pictures gives the film a new dimension.

As for the plot, it is original and keeps the suspense great. I was never bored or looking at the clock to find out how much time it was left (noteworthy is that the film after all is 141 minutes). The film keeps the suspense in a way that I could never guess what was coming next which in other words mean that the plot of the film was pretty unpredictable. Furthermore, the action had a decent mix between thoughtful dialogues and scenes of violence, so there is not any brain-dead violence which lacks purposes. I cannot really make any elaborate comments on the plot. Again, I consider it to be original and I advise the reader of this comment to give this film a try and find it out yourself - it is well-worth it, I think.

At any rate, I must definitely see Casshern again. 7/10 from my side.
