Knights of the Zodiac

Post by takenoko »

Just watched it. It's not a great movie, but I had some fun with the fights and special effects. I liked the banter between Mackenyu and Athena's actress. The whole thing felt very Power Rangeresque, so if you're here, you might like it too

I liked it but despite its length, it felt like a teaser instead of a full feature. I hope to see more but with its limited theatrical release, I don’t think it’ll have a large enough audience.

I haven’t watched the anime, so I can’t compare. But really I think it’s best to enjoy an adaptation as exactly that instead of comparing it to another version.
I’m the one nightmares are afraid of.

Kouga! How've you been?!

Exactly! It's fun to see how a medium adapts to modernize/fit a live action setting. It's sad this probably won't get a sequel to expand on the potential here, but I had a pretty good time with it
