Watched Blood : The Last Vampire last night and the word 'dissapointment' couldn't even express my true feelings. With a good lead actress Gianna Jun (lead actress in korean movie My Sassy Girl) , excellent trailers and nice big posters plastered everywhere, I'd expect more. Once again, movie adaptions of anime goes awry in the wrong hands.
The story goes something like this, bad vamp schoolgirl chick named 'Saya' wants to avenge father and mentor's death, goes on a killing rampage for years, finds the ultimate demon and kills her...that's all there is, I didn't even use more than 2 lines to describe the whole 2 hours. Don't expect more. Movis story is flat and does not do the anime any justice.
Movie sequence started beautifully and artistically but half-way through the story just fell flat. Action scenes are unimaginative and this must be the worst 3D animation I have seen! Think stop-motion clay animation when I say 3D. Gosh! Don't even expect Kill Bill moves, even the blood looks 'bloody' fake. There's even a funny sequence (I swear it's funny!) when she tries to kill the murderer of her mentor and he just runs away like a kid rather than doing some cool dissapearing ninja act.
Poor acting from all casts including Gianna, and if you find it hard to make out Japanese speaking English then don't bother. I would have preferred it if they just spoke Japanese and gave me the subtitles.
YOU WANNA WATCH IT :
- Don't say you haven't been warned for the bad acting and story line
- Try taking treating it like a B-grade Hollywood horror flick and you'll feel much better
- Does not do justice to the anime (DON'T LET IT RUIN THE GOOD IMPRESSION OF THE ANIME)
YOU DON'T WANNA WATCH IT :
- Good choice! Save the money and go for other movies with better effects, storyline, acting, or whatever! It's just a better choice compared to Blood.
