Wild cinematic thrill-ride
|
"Sword of Alexander" is crazy, action-packed, hilarious, rollicking fun. The story involves three objects that have hurtled to earth from outer space which have unstoppable powers when used together. Abe Hiroshi plays Genkuro, a heroic larger-and-stinkier-than-life character who possesses one of the three objects, the Sword of Alexander. Genkuro uses the mighty blade to rescue Princess Mai (Hasegawa Kyoko), who happens to be possessed by a weird liquid space creature. Kuroki Meisa plays an impossibly beautiful swordsman who occasionally intervenes with mysterious, but apparently noble, motives. The cast includes a wide assortment of ninja warriors possessing outlandish abilities and mythical beasts unlike anything I've seen before. In short, "Sword of Alexander" is a gloriously chaotic film in which the filmmakers' imaginations simply were allowed to run wild. However, the movie, as presented on this DVD, has two significant flaws. First, it has been badly chopped into a full-screen format; this movie definitely should have been presented in widescreen. Second, because it is based upon an open-ended novel -- a novel which has no end -- the makers of this movie had to concoct their own ending. Unfortunately, the ending they chose is a terrible anticlimax. Nonetheless, I recommend the film very highly for those, like me, who are thrilled to revel in its outlandish story, goofy sense of humor, bizarre characters, and cheesy special effects. "Sword of Alexander" is a hoot! |
