 |  | This movie lost me a third of the way into it. |  |
Scientist found a way to regenerate body parts, but the body parts had minds of their own and created a new race. And wanted to take over the earth and run things their way. That's when I got lost. I thought it was hard to follow, maybe I'll try to watch it again another time and figure it out. Maybe not.
October 20, 2008 | | Great film, but do not buy this truncated American dvd version | |
Casshern is a great flim, that really probably requires 3 viewings to truly appreciate. (My first viewing I thought it was really cool, the second time I wasn't sure what I thought about the movie, then the third time (perhaps the first time on a wide-screen tv) I thought it was great.) So why, now, would the American release of the film cut out a full 18 minutes out of the film?! The movie can be difficult for new viewers to understand at first viewing and this vastly truncated release does not help understanding the story at all. The correct running time for this film is 135 minutes. At any rate, a film with great visuals, cool characters, an interesting storyline. Basically a very well done superhero movie.
October 18, 2008Strange, imaginative, and mesmerizing, Casshern is like nothing else on film. Science fiction? fantasy? this futuristic film grabs you with its imagery, color, stylized action, and catapaults you to another world in its depiction of good and evil, science vs humanism, and the ultimate redemptive climax will leave you breathless. Powerful, hypnotic, engrossing, Casshern is one to add to your collection.

This movie has interesting visuals but the story is an unoriginal mess. You simply don't care about the characters and the action is nowhere near constant enough to make up for it.
August 13, 2008| | | astonishing stunning mythic visual | |
this is the best movie i have seen in a long time. now i love classic cyberpunk in the neuromancer/snow crash mode & philip k dick type virtual reality science fiction, so if you don't enjoy these styles as much as i do then you might not like this as much, but anybody who likes futuristic, surreal visuals will love this. there is more to it than that, though, including a mythic storyline that refers to many classic themes & will remind one of certain religious figures. the nearest references would be "blade runner," "tron" & "metropolis," but this really goes beyond any of these visually & stylistically. you will see fight scenes between mythic, godlike figures that will blow you away, but most of all you will be enchanted by constantly beautiful visuals that are often moving & add up to a stunning & astonishing art film.
