Viewing Notes

Ugh. But still not the second worst thing to happen to Japan in this decade. (really ignorant remark)

I can get past the English dialogue from a nearly all Japanese cast but the fantasy elements detract from the story and movie. Unneeded and mostly silly. Disappointing to see but clearly they want to appeal to a western audience with flashy bullshit FX. Ah well.
