Didn't like the Casshern Movie!

Casshern Movie - Definitely not the next Matrix.

The Casshern DVD box says it is better than "Both Matrix sequels put together." I don't think so. The movie seemed disjointed and hopped around without making a lot of sense. The point of the movie is supposed to be that war is bad, which I agree with, but the movie was just so bizarre and filled with plot holes it didn't do a good job of making any point.

Check out the "Best Casshern Review" below for my favorite review of Casshern. I wish I'd read it before watching the movie.

Best Casshern Review

This Casshern Review hits the nail on the head!

"Big, loud, sloppy and dumb, Casshern rates among the worst attempts ever to re-invent a classic comic character. When an entire movie can be stolen by the cameo appearance of a helmet (the original Casshern's, retro-cool headpiece), you know something is horribly awry. "

@Michael, the best review hit the nail on the head. I like a good foreign film or a film that makes me think, but Casshern, a concept movie from a comic that I wanted to like, just wasn't very good.

@Wolfey: I did pay attention and it was one of the worst movies I've ever seen. Glad you liked it though. Sorry you don't like that I made this page :) Squidoo had just come out with SquidFlix where you can make a page about the best and worst movies and I had just watched this and thought it was one of the worst movies... you are welcome to make a page on why you like the movie. Free speech is a good thing and it would be boring if everyone agreed on everything.

I rented Casshern because of the picture and the review that promised "better then both Matrix sequels combined. Starting the movie I realized that it was in Japanese. My brother and I got past that surprise relatively easily and thought that for a 2 hour action flick like this, it wouldn't really matter. Could we have been more wrong? As the story began we just sat back in amazement with an occasional, "WTF?!" We just kept telling ourselves that it would get better, as soon as the action started. The story was ridiculous and made no sense. It came from giant pillars of metal falling from the sky shooting purple lighting into a pool of life-extending neo-cells to an army of neo-human zombies making an army of robots. WTF WAS THIS MOVIE!? By the time there was half an hour left we resigned ourselves to the understanding that this movie was incredibly terrible and just decided to finish. When the movie ended by this guy shooting his daughter, (or something like that it really didn't make any sense...) we just sat there. I turned to him and said, "I hate you for renting this movie." If you want to watch it, you might as well rent it and throw it in the microwave for a minute and enjoy the sparks because that will be one thousand times more entertaining then that piece of shit. 0 stars for this movie, which is the worst ever made.

Casshern is one of the worst, along with Mortal Kombat 2, and Once Upon a Time in Mexico.

Are you kidding? Casshern was not that bad.

デイヴ says:

this movie is a metaphor about existance.
This movie is very symbolic. once you have broken down all the points of the film. such as color,light and everything else that you see on teh screen. its all there to resemble something. This film was produced by an intelligent mind.
The intention of the film is not to present a normal drama or action film. The message found in this movie are of those you would find in breat works on paper

I belive that the only peole who disslike a movie like this are the ones who can not read subtitles. Possbly there is a Disney movie out that you can watch instead, but stay clear of "Bambi", that on will scare you!
If you think a movie is confusing, watch it again. Casshern is a masterpeice and deserves an Oscar, if only Americans wern't so narrowminded...

It's a good movie, don't like it? Then go listen to crap like Sisterhood of the traveling pants. I don't care if you don't like Casshern, but you start a page against this movie when there is movie about a pants?
I actually never saw that panty movie but i'm sure it suck more than Casshern. what it look like?
Pants: C'mon party, C'mon party
Girls: oooouuuu a talking pants, let's go party
These kind of movie are boring. But Casshern, there's something special in it.

Michael says:

your probably the thickest people in the history of human kind if you didn't get the plot line and as for the best review, please go back to watching your american junk movies which i can only describe as "one dimentional". It's a concept movie from a comic, have an open mind when watching and maybe you would enjoy it, if you like movies where you don't have to think then fair enough but i think you couldn't be more wrong about the Movie.

I watched Casshern, it made enough sense to me. I don't tend to like subtitled films but I did like this one. I don't think you payed enough attencion to it or maybe it's just not your thing. Either way I don't see why you felt it nessersary to make a page about why you can't apperciate someones own take on a classic comic character.

I personally liked Casshern. No, it wasn't a GOOD movie, but I enjoyed it. It was pretty to look at, and fun to watch, despite being rather confusing and convoluted.

I can see why some people don't like it. I think it is a masterpiece of sorts. One of my favourite things was the sound track. It is incredible and fits with the storyline so perfectly. I dont see why people say the storyline is hard to get...i thought it was quite simple really....or maybe i didnt get it lol. Anyway, i think to get this movie you need to watch it in a totally different way to most other movies. Got to say again...the soundtrack is what makes this phenominal. Its the best movie soundtrack - soundtrack not great in its own right but together with the video - - - - it owns.

It would take a lot more to make Casshern one of the worst films ever made. I think people familiar with Japanese story-telling and movies would have a better time with it than those who aren't as knowledgeable.

casshern was a masterpiece of a movie. it was not intended to be strongly action based. the movie is deeply rooted with symbolism of past wars and religious meanings. did you see the american or the japanese release? if you picked casshern up at blockbuster, what you saw was shit. the american dreamworks release cut out 30 minutes of footage that developed the plot and the american subtitles were not correct at all. if you buy the japanese release, you see the tre greatness of the film. it is my favorite movie of all time.

I personally think that Casshern is one of the best movies I've ever seen!
It seems like you just didn't get the point of the movie, like most people!
You can't compare the movie with Once upon a time in Mexico and MK2...it are different things.
You should watch the movie once again..and think while watching it.
