While I didn't enjoy this film enough for me to say I'll ever watch it again, I can't refute how good the animation is. The score is also well done, specifically in an earlier scene when the boar first arrives. That particular score is very original and unlike any other I've heard before. I am not a huge fan of much anime but I am a fan of movies in general(hence my intrigue in the film). If you enjoy anime that focus more on story and allegorical meaning(opposed to fighting) then this may just be the film for you. On quality of visuals and score alone I rate it a 7/10 and I didn't enjoy as much as I'm sure alot of you will.
Shamefully this my first cinematic experience involving Kirk Douglas. Hearing him speak reminded me alot of his son(mannerisms, voice tone etc.) Michael who is an accomplished actor in his own right. Kirk was wonderful in this movie with his performance and I believed him every step of the way. This movie is very well shot and paced. The cast as a whole is very good and the villain character in this story is very easy to hate. This film doesn't have a Happy ending and will leave you with a sickly feeling in your stomach at times as the depiction of war is always ugly. I will be looking more into Mr. Douglas' filmography.
Very good film and I would say rewatchable.

Wow what an episode! If you can watch this episode without atleast getting a little teary eyed then you are dead inside. What a performance by Will! The rest is history!
The fact that Tom Hanks was able to keep me engaged for the entirety of this movie is why he makes the big bucks. This movie has little to no action, no mystery, and only a little bit of suspense. However I never found myself bored when watching this film bc of Tom Hanks performance, he is so good as usual! There are only a handful of actors out there with this much command of the screen and the character they are portraying. In summary this a good film to watch if you want to curl up on the couch and watch a simple story with a cute ending.
While I wasn't blown away by any of the performances in this movie, I am however interested to see what this movie would be today. I believe if it were to be remade it would be a much better movie. Overall I thought it was just ok. I like the concept, but the acting wasn't there for me, (however most of them go on to have solid careers of their own, what a cast!)
The only reason I gave this movie a 6 is because of the acting, other than that I don't understand the point in this film.
This episode was the best in the series in my opinion. This is how you end a show and give the fans what they want. Of course like any other castlevania fan I want more seasons, however the quality of the final season has left me content. What an epic conclusion to the show!
This movie is your standard Hollywood blockbuster. It is very, very, very cliche and predictable.
There is just something about the action/adventure/comedy film genre that I adore. I like almost all of the different franchises. It may be the ridiculousness, the desert setting, or the wild and witty characters. I really can't pin point it. All I know is I can come back to them time and time again.
Say what you want about the story line and some of the humans in the movie. It's hard to dislike this movie when the director put so much time in to make sure we got plenty of fights, that all of the monster designs pleased the fans and that we got an epic moment from Godzilla himself. I loved every second!
Its not a bad movie but its not a good Godzilla movie if you know what I mean, and if your leaving reviews on a Godzilla movie from 1969 then you probably get what I'm saying.
This modern day western is one of the best shows I've ever watched. Robert Taylor really conveys the southern simple man to a T. His performance is outstanding and makes me wonder how he hasn't gotten more lead roles. The acting is very good all around from the supporting cast; to the characters with one line. The writing is exceptional in each season and because of that no season pales in comparison to the other. There are alot of dark and emotional episodes that make you feel for the characters and may bring tears to your eyes. One other thing I enjoyed was learning a little more about the Native American community and the differences in laws and such on reservations. The ending of the show will leave you content and satisfied because it all comes full circle in the end. Great show!
This is one of the better post apocalyptic movies of the last few years! The special effects and CGI are phenomenal. The "monsters" are so life like and creepy looking and they will make your skin crawl! There are a few likeable characters and I can see this spawn another sequel or 2!
