Very very predictable, including the post credit scene !!!

Self-important, over-dramatic, uninspired.

I like Black Panther, but I didn't like this movie.

At first rather annoying in its heavy emphasis on reenactments, this movie ultimately proves fascinating, simply because the complicated, highly dramatic tale it tells still almost defies belief.

Truly one of the greatest things ever created. The plot is revealed as the story goes deeper. The viewer discovers reasons and meanings as they are revealed to Renton. By the end of the series the viewer is able to understand things from the beginning that were a mystery. Psalms of the Planets Eureka Seven has excellent character development. I was moved to love all the characters and their final stages of development. I bought all 12 volumes before i was finished watching the series, and i can say now that that was a decision i won't regret. I am really looking forward to the movie Pocketful of Rainbows. This series is 1250 minutes of your life NOT wasted. check it out.

The first time I learned about Eureka 7 was as I was watching Adult Swim one or two years back. I didn't find it all to great because of the English voices and some other things. Now after some amount of time I got back to the series and from then on, it just grabbed a hold of me.Renton Thurston, the main protagonist, is fourteen, he is not liked by many of his school mates, both his parents are dead, and the one thing he likes to do is slipping from his grasp. Throughout the series, he not only meets and very quickly loves Eureka, a very unemotional and aloof girl, but gradually develops from being a kid to an adult. Eureka is Renton's (one would say) girlfriend. She is not human, she belongs to the Gekko- Go (An anti military group) and the military is trying to destroy her kind which is attempting to co-exist with the humans. She knows nothing about human affection so she has no idea for the first 20 episodes how much she loves Renton and vice versa. The members of the Gekko-Go are very unwelcoming to Renton and often make him do most of the chores around the large ship. Holland, the worst of the crew members, is the captain and usually beats Renton up for no reason, eventually driving him out of Gekko-State. Yet as the story progresses, you begin to appreciate Holland for what he does and for treating Renton respectfully.The entire series had its moments of laughing, crying when something bad happened, crying when something good happened, astonishment, and so on and so forth. This series is one of the best anime shows I have ever watched so far and if anyone has any suggestions for another, please do tell me.

As everyone else has already said, the first 10 episodes you hate Renton, because he says obscenely stupid things. Yet after that, you see him start to change, and how everyone else changes as well. This is what makes this anime so great, its like Inuyasha if things actually progressed, and they have only around 2 episodes of filler, and they weren't really filler, but oddly done mini-plots. After the last episode,I felt as if my life was over, with that creeping sorrow that you experience after losing anyone important to you. Yes, it truly was that good. I bought the series(Japanese: Subbed not dubbed) and am currently watching it for a 4th time, after being dissatisfied with Blood Plus, Fullmetal Alchemist, and many other animes that don't really seem to work, as they have the weird anime expressions that seem so unnecessary now.

Most Americans are conditioned from birth to think "animation=cartoons=kidstuff." Those who know better won't even need this review, but for those who are just discovering that animation can carry dramatic and imaginative themes as well as any other medium, I'm going to make a few observations about Eureka 7 -- a somewhat underrated gem even within its own genre.To begin with, this is no kiddie show. Yes, it's told from the standpoint of an adolescent protagonist, but then, so are Kidnapped, Catcher in the Rye and Oliver Twist. Renton's journey from naive and somewhat bratty boy to mature young man is gradual, entirely plausible, ultimately engaging and just as full of hard knocks as Real Life.And it's certainly not kid stuff. There's deadly violence aplenty, real emotional conflict and (in the fansubbed version I saw, anyway) enough foul language to fill an army barracks. The gritty world of Eureka 7 is no jolly romp, either for Renton or for the crew of the renegade airship he falls in with.Nor does the crew of the Gekkostate -- itself stolen from the militaristic Federation -- bear any resemblance to Robin Hood's Merry Men. They're a gang of moody misfits, all of them nursing some personal grudge against the world and all too often ready to take it out on the new kid who can't fight back. And as if young Renton doesn't have enough trouble fitting in with this surly pirate crew, there's the enigmatic Eureka, beautiful but distant and inarticulate. She's surrounded by mystery, and as we gradually find out, it's nothing simple, either. Renton is fascinated by Eureka and utterly devoted to her, and in spite of her flaws, it's not hard to see why. She's both hard-as-nails tough and at the same time utterly vulnerable, and hence irresistible to a romantic like Renton. If any fictional heroine was worthy of the emotional and physical hard knocks that poor Renton endures, it's Eureka.Don't expect to be pulled into Eureka 7 by watching one or two episodes, any more than you'd judge a Dickens novel by the first few pages. Give it a chance and let the epic-length (50 chapters) story weave itself around you. Once the complex characters and their interlocking motivations begin to spin themselves out, you'll be hooked. Eureka 7 is like a richly textured book that well rewards the reader for entering its world.Oh, and don't be put off by the "giant robots," either. The mecha are roughly the equivalent of a combination tank and fighter plane in Eureka 7's world, and they have a humanoid shape for a very good reason, as you'll see.For gorgeous animation, beautiful music (I recommend listening to it with a good pair of stereo headphones), three-dimensional characters and a genuinely moving story, you just can't beat Eureka 7. Anyone who can overcome a deep-seated prejudice against "cartoons" is going to be introduced to a whole new world with this series.And by the way, let's also clear up the common stereotype that Japanese anime is only for the high-school set. I'm 59 and I find Princess Mononoke and Steamboy to be among the best movies ever made in any medium. And Eureka 7 hooked me from the start.Eureka 7 is addictive, and rightfully so. Get your fix now, and find out what you're missing.
