I love, love Chinese and Japan fantasy-action movies. Love, love, love them, and they are so inspiring, they always manage to get my mind going like a hamster on speed.

So, a few weeks ago I have watched Goemon and, despite questions that were left unanswered and some inconsistency, and main character’s annoying grimaces, I loved it. I’m a sucker for visual effect and symbolism, and that movie has plenty of that, plus it’s full of fights that left me drooling. Yes, yes, I’m a sucker for those too. So it’s no surprise that I also ordered Casshern.

So how do I feel toward Casshern? I can’t decide. I mean the movie’s scenes are rich and layered, just the way I like them, but there is a lack of fighting scenes and even though I understand why the ‘raw’ footage was included and agree that without it the whole message wouldn’t be as powerful as without it, the mesh of it with the rest of the movie isn’t exactly working for me. But I’m impressed with the movie’s plot, very impressed; it’s complicated and messy, but at the end everything becomes a full circle.
