My Bright Samuria Soul review
Intro: OK, what’s the point of this movie if it not going to make
up for the last film?
Bright Samurai Soul: The movie takes place in 1876 in Japan and Samuria and Orcs are
fighting over an elf who has a magic wand. An elf girl name Sonia manages to escape
and got someone from each side to take her somewhere where she can be safe. So,
the two have to protect her and get to her destination before outside forces
use her to start Armageddon.
This is basically the same movie but with a different look and location. That’s one of many things that let me down about this movie. I thought this being an animated film set in a different location would help but it didn’t. I mean why have these creatures in Japan if they treat them the same way Americans do? The movie also suffers from a lack of world-building, seriously what’s the point of having these different creatures if we don’t get their backstory? I wouldn’t have minded the story being simply if we got character development and if the story wasn’t so bland.
The movie could also use some light-hearted
moments because it feels lifeless. Something happens in the climax that undermines
the tension in the movie. The soundtrack bugs me because it doesn’t match the
setting of the film. The animation is kind of stiff. The movie could have been
about how power corrupts absolute but that didn’t happen. I don’t have much to
say about the characters because the movie hasn’t done much with them. Plus,
they are unlikeable which makes it hard for me to care about the story.
Izon is a lost and broken Ronin and we get flashbacks that explains
why he’s like this.
Raiden is an Orc who looking for a way out of a life of
crime. I like how he and Izon parallel each other because both of them are
looking for redemption.
Sonia is a typical whiny kid.
I like the action scene in the movie and the foreshadowing
in the film. The art style is fine. Overall, this is another failed attempt to
make something out of this I.P.
Rating = Trash
