Solidrariol Am I Missing Something?
Whitech It is not only a funny movie, but it allows a great amount of joy for anyone who watches it.
Patience Watson One of those movie experiences that is so good it makes you realize you've been grading everything else on a curve.
Zlatica One of the worst ways to make a cult movie is to set out to make a cult movie.
mmushrm Kibakichi is one of those movies they screen at Mifnight at those small family own cinemas or on cable TV. If you go watch it with that mindset it is not a bad movie. But if you are into plot, character driven movies with great acting and plot, skip this movie.The movie is OK, not bad but abit slow until the end. The acting is B grade, the monsters are rubber costumes. The fights scenes are not bad, the end was rather good. It takes a lot of athleticism to fight and run and jump in the rubber costumes with explosions going off. (if that sounds good to you then this movie is for you!).While I wont say its a great or even a good movie, it has interested me enough to go look for Kibakichi 2.
dagon256 Wow this movie is great, the very idea of a werewolf samurai is so great, it makes me want to get a US studio to make a werewolf samurai series like this one, but I'm here to review the movie not praise it up its butt, so like my other reviews I going from plot, effects, and finally sound, so here it goes!!!!!!!!!! Plot= OK I will say this the plot is bad, but it does its job.its kind of like a Inuyasha episode only it was made by Quentin Taratino and thats kick all kinds of butt.One thing I will say is that its full of useless filler that could have been cut out for more action scenes but because of its budget it had to, I give the plot a 6 out of 10 not bad but not great.Effects= One of the strengths of this movie is its effects. Its has a power ranger feel because of the cheapness of the monster suits and the fight scenes in said suits. The werewolf suit in this movie is great, Its not too human not to wolf so you get some emotion out of the actor in the suit and that adds a touch of contexts to it. I give the effects 7 out of 10, its good to see the Japanese do what they do best.Sound= one word of this one, bad, its almost nonexistent, but I will say its better then video violence, Nuff said. I give its sound a 3 out of 10, it could better.I with that I proud to rate this movie 7 out of 10, its great to watch with the bros and maybe someone special.
kingismyworld This movie is awesome. yes the special fx are cheap and the monsters horrid but the movie has a good sense of fun and actually a great premise. Kibakichi is a lone samurai who is also a werewolf and roams the countryside. He stops in a small town ruled by Yokai (monsters). The leader has made a pact with the yakuza with promises of a new beginning for the yokai. As Kibakichi unearths a deadly plot to rid the Yokai, his inner beast is unleashed and the finale is one bloody showdown. With guns, swords, blood and gore, this movie delivers. Yes it's slow but the performances are awesome and at 95 minutes moves quickly. I got this for 5 bucks and it's sequel.Enjoy the movie for what it is a fun action-horror film before Hollywood remakes it soon.
voltregalpha If you are going to see this film I highly recommend seeing this movie in the original Japanese with subtitles if at all possible. The movie is an enjoyable experience, almost ruined by one of the most inept dubbing jobs I have ever experienced. Its just that the voices chosen were almost an insult to the original actors. The plot line is intriguing, although I have seen similar before. There is a cheap/campy quality to the special effects, but I rather enjoyed them despite this. The monsters were very creepy but somehow human at the same time, which was one of the more likable qualities of the film. It seems like the crew had a lot of heart and soul invested in the movie but very little budget. Fortunately, the heart and soul won out. I was especially impressed by the lead character's appearance; it's now one of my favorite werewolves(Dog Soldiers being my favorite). The fight scenes were also very over the top, reminiscent of the Lone Wolf and Cub series, but then again I love those films. The entire point of the film is that humans can be more monstrous than the monsters, and it drives the point home well, but a little heavy handed.
