YesAsia Editorial Description

Zeze Takahisa's newest offering, Moon Child, may be the work that puts him on the map as a major international talent. Shot in Taiwan, the film is a sleek action thriller starring superstars Hyde, Gackt, and Leehom Wang. It is set in the near future in a fictional Asian city called Maleppa. A hotbed of crime and drugs, the city is the home to Sho (Gackt) and his gang of desperate criminal associates. Into this group comes Kei (Hyde), a pale, young vampire who has deep ties to Sho. Kei joins the group, which now also includes Son (Wang) and his younger sister Yi-che (Zeny Kwok), until a grisly event at once reaffirms the bond between Kei and Sho, but also forces Kei to once again flee Maleppa. Years pass and allegiances are switched, but the worlds of Kei and Sho are on course for one last collision...

　　在2014年，一個罪惡與毒品溫床的無國藉城市，是首領翔（Gackt飾）與他的黨羽及吸血魔童京（Hyde飾）藏身之地。一天，孫天賢（王力宏飾）與妹妹來到此地，與翔等結成好友。可是快樂的日子燦爛而短暫，一段恩仇，將昔日的友情，演變成一幕幕的廝殺。人亦然，魔亦然；友情、愛情和仇恨，是否只能以血劃上句號？

　　In a chaotic, strife-filled city where everything is up for grabs, fate brings four orphans into the life of Kei (Hyde), a man with eternal life – a vampire. The five tough and vulnerable characters struggle to find love and friendship in a world of conflict and horror. Caught in the web of violent times, they end up at war with one another in a bitter sweet mix of love, hate and gun life.

Beautifull Customer Review Rated Bad 8 - 8 out of 10
I found the beginning very funny. The acting is totally different than the American acting. The acting in this movie is to much. But still it was really funny. I am a huge fan of Gackt, and after seeing this movie i love him even more. You shouldn't focus on the acting, but what the movie is about. And don't try to find 1 subject. It's about everything. How the world can really suck, that it is a dangerous place, but that you still have friends, and some things will turn out right. It's romantic, it's hilarious, it's a little bit of action, and it is too cry for.

I really loved this movie. I did get lost in the middle part, because they sometimes jump a few days, months or even some years forward. So I didn't really understand what happened to Kei. But they do say it, that's a blank spot that you have to fill in your self. And you will find those kind of things troughout the whole movie.

So if you are a Gackt fan or a Hyde fan (Hyde really is hot in this movie ;o)
Then you really must watch it !!

hm... Customer Review Rated Bad 10 - 10 out of 10
I must say that I have never experienced a tale of better brotherhood than this film. The plot is thick and the violence is real, but the heart never wavers in this film. HYDE and Gackt played the excellent pair and should be commended for their acting. I was also surprised when I realized that Wang Lee Hom was in the film. ^^

I do believe that when it comes to the viewer, you'll either get it or you won't (hence the mixed reviews from people.) Some say its the worst film while others call it a masterpiece. People also need to realize that this film was made back in 2004. Its really not right to compare the graphics to the current times. For a movie made in its time frame, I thought they did a pretty good job.

Also, if a person doesn't understand the movie, they won't understand the character. There's a connection you feel with each character in the film that really hits you hard near the climax of the movie. It's hard not to shed some tears near the end (well, for a female at least. ^^)

For those who want to try this film, get ready for some serious gun violence. (Not for your 15 and under kid). Also, this is not really a vampire film. The message goes beyond "vampire genre". There's really only 2 in the entire film.

It's good to be a bit open-minded with this movie because there's so much beneath the surface, yet its hidden well to the point where some viewers become frustrated and begin to hate it. The story is amazing. The threads of friendship always stay strong no matter how thin they appear to be.

I didn't really understand it... Customer Review Rated Bad 2 - 2 out of 10
I had previously thought about purchasing this movie a while ago, but when I saw it at my public library, I thought I would rent it and see how much worth it it would be to buy it. Well...let's just say I highly doubt it's worth the $31 you would be paying for it.

Even the beginning of the movie threw me off. I continued watching to see if I could make connections with any of the characters etc. There were a few funny parts at the beginning when I still had a grasp on what was happening. After they left some cafe place...I was lost. I think I fell asleep through most of it, and was so lost by the end that I didn't even bother going back and watching the 1+ hours I had missed.

Acting is not that great, and it surely could have been much better. I was expecting a really great movie from the hype it got from people, but I was not impressed. If you're a big fan of HYDE or Gackt, sure, you can go ahead and try it. I am, too, but I surely didn't like this movie very well. I didn't give it an absolute zero because, well, they tried. Not something I would recommend, though.

 Romancing darkness Customer Review Rated Bad 7 - 7 out of 10
A movie with artistic moments of or bits of everything: action, humor, romance, brotherly bonding, insight, tragedy but not really blossoming into anything spectacular. Somewhere along the way writers block occurred because you feel a lull in everything & the story barely holds together enough to bring you to the conclusion that felt predestined in the writers' minds. The acting...not award winning but adequate. A definate must have for fans of Gackt & Hyde. I loved the fusion of Japanese & Cantonese which offered much of the humorous moments.

Another admiring review Customer Review Rated Bad 9 - 9 out of 10
I have owned Moonchild for quite a while now. It is still one of my favorite movies. Just about everyone that I know has seen it now.

Now, don't think that I am saying good things about this movie because I am a Gackt or Hyde fan. I actually got into the music after watching Moonchild. Before that I had played the PS2 game Bujingai and this made me curious about this Gackt fellow. Moonchild was my next step.

To me, this movie has the feeling of an independent film. One that was made by a group of friends who all got together and said "Hey lets make a movie." Cheesy dialogue and overacting are definately a part of this. It isn't very polished and it really needed either more time in the middle or to have been split into two movies. That is the only complaint that I have about Moonchild. It needed more time to tell the story.

One of the best things about Moonchild is not that it transcends genres, it instead seems to embrace several of them. It is a movie with a vampire in it that isn't a vampire movie. This is extremely rare. I found it refreshing.

Maybe this movie isn't for everyone. However, I have been recommending to my friends for a while now. If you aren't sure, you can always rent it. That's how I saw it the first time.
