Matialth Good concept, poorly executed.

filippaberry84 I think this is a new genre that they're all sort of working their way through it and haven't got all the kinks worked out yet but it's a genre that works for me.
Aneesa Wardle The story, direction, characters, and writing/dialogue is akin to taking a tranquilizer shot to the neck, but everything else was so well done.
bbickley13-921-58664 What I liked about the movie is that the movie has the feel of a B-action movie more than a drama that I think they were trying for. Possibly has a lot to do with the English dubbed that gives the feel of a Full moon entertainment movie without the Sci-Fi theme. Other than reminding me of a B-Action film, the movie has very little action in it. The hour long feature has the main character, Golgo 13 hired to assassinate a woman who calls herself Queen Bee, who acts more like the main character as the movie's concept is for Golgo to built a profile on her before he kills her, so we get to live a day in the life of the Queen Bee, which could have been more exciting than they chose to make it. I'm sure I would have loved this movie more if it was not animated. It was an interesting story, but not the best use of animation. Not even the animated boobs and sex scenes could have saved this movie and the animated violence like the stuff scene in the professional is absent. Watch something else.
Scars_Remain I just got finished watching Golgo 13: Queen Bee and I'm pretty let down. It's a fun movie with some great scenes but it is no where near as good as it's amazing predecessor. I feel like it could have had a lot more and I waited for it to get better but it never seemed to get to the level it could have.There is some great gore and the story is interesting enough to keep the viewer watching but it doesn't do much else. I think my biggest problem was that the story barely focused on Golgo 13 at all. It seems a bit silly to me because it's named after the guy. Instead, it focuses a lot more on the Queen Bee's character. But other than those cons, it has some really fun action sequences that fans of the first film will be pleased with. See it if you liked The Professional but don't expect a movie that is equal.
onionmorph This is one of a few anime movies that I have actually turned off while watching it. Usually I can at least get some humor out of an anime; this one wasn't even kind enough to offer that. It might have had an excellent story line; but I wouldn't know, as I only saw the first 15-20 minutes of it. That time alone made me not even care if there was a story to back it. The plot that I had gathered was "sex sex sex sex sex, kill somebody, sex sex sex." I didn't care about anyone in the movie. This was a disappointment, and I would recommend many, many other titles over this one. Golgo 13 is an anime worth passing over; I assure you that your time could be better spent.
buyjesus i can't help thinking there are plenty of japanese anime films that get made just so a bunch of animators can sit in a room and draw boobs all day long. I rented this because I loved the video game counterpart on NES 8-bit. I never knew there was a cartoon or even another plot to go along with it. But this film makes Duke Togo out to be some superhero stud James Bond wannabee while the quiet, daring, supercool mofo that I grew to love in the Top Secret Agent video game was nowhere to be seen. There were some neat things but nothing to really keep me awake while watching it at 3 a.m..
