Stolen Review: Elle Márjá Eira makes an attempt at creating a story revolving Sámi people of Sweden.
Not enough marketing in my opinion.
Good, now hopefully Hollywood will stay away from adapting anime movies while simultaneously taking a huge dump on it's fans.. looking at you whoever thinks it would be a good idea to adapt Akira. Funny thing is, it's actually a decent popcorn sci fi movies, the average movie goer would probably enjoy it. The problem though is they took a deep intelligent cult classic and reduced it to being a movie which is about as smart as your average Michael Bay film.
It could have been better executed but at fundamentally it was still a good movie.
Yeah I expected more but then again most movie goers these days just prefer to sit there and have everything handed to them like they are just passengers.
Damn. I was hoping this was good. The trailer actually gave me hope but I guess it turned out to a decent action sci fi movie but with none of the deep philosophy that made you still think about it decades later. It would be hard for a remake to have that sort of profound effect like the first time you saw the Matrix.
Hmm, I still want to see it but Ill go in to watch it for what it is, popcorn fluff, not what I wanted it to be, a brilliant tribute to a bonafide classic.
Hollywood is nothing but a ghost in the shell of its former self. Its time to turn the page on the American film industry.
