Kiddish-no nostalgia involved Customer Review Rated Bad 4 - 4 out of 10

I guess this would only make sense if you are familiar with some Japanese folklore & the cartoon "Gegege No Kitaro". There were some freaky monstrosities created in the anime, Final Fantasy fashion but the story, what there is of one, falls apart & all is resolved in the form of an azuki red-bean? The FF games have more structure than this...maybe you have to 8years old or younger to understand or at least enjoy the thrill of this particular adventure. If you want closure...watch a Power Ranger episode.

The Great Yokai War Single disc, Widescreen DTS Customer Review Rated Bad 6 - 6 out of 10

As far as the one I ordered I can assure that there IS indeed working English subtitles.

The film itself is a little mad (in a Tim Burton kind of way....kind of). The story centered around a young boy, ambles along in a fairly pre determined way. Reality, fantasy, spirits (in a muppet/Labyrinth kind of way....sort of) & if you get to the happy near end, I will just say What the bean!??.

In trying to incorporate a mix of theme & styles it kind of reminded me I hesitate to say, of Casshern. Where as I love Cassherns magical blend of style & story which I consider very successfully done for the film. The Great Yokai War left me a little flat & incomplete; some will perhaps (like my friend) get a little lost.

Not viewed seriously it can be fun (mostly I guess, for the kids who understand Japanese) & bizzarly interesting.

If you thought the spirits in Ghiblis Spirited Away strange, the range of spirits/deamons (Yokai) in this film get truly odd.

Not too bad, it certainly was different; but if you are after a good film for all & have not seen Spirited Away (totally different, & a class far above in my opinion Great Animation) try this first.

If you are after something different & have not seen Casshern then I would say watch this first (again totally different & a class far above taste wise it is perhaps a bit Film, Manga, Final Fantasy).

Happy hunting.

A Great Kid's Film - A Defective DVD Customer Review Rated Bad 5 - 5 out of 10

This DVD does NOT have English subtitles. There is an 'en' subtitle stream on the DVD, but it has Chinese characters!! The disc is defective, or the packaging and substream ID's are intentionally misleading. You decide.

A decent kid's film. Customer Review Rated Bad 7 - 7 out of 10

I'm a fan of Takeshi Miike and was excitedly looking forward to his latest movie. The special effects for the yokai in this movie were CGI, full body costume, make-up, or sock puppets. Very funny, very strange. Although definitely a film for children, adults could enjoy it too. Overall, I thought this movie was pretty cute, maybe a little violent for some kids at times, but cute.
