GOEMON IS AWESOME!!! [movie review]
I watched this movie today and it was BETTER than I had expected it to be:
Director Kazuaki Kiriya sure has come along way since Casshern (one of my top 10); while being outlandishly live-action-manga-like, Goemon manages to feel grounded in reality (jumping ninjas aside). The script is witty, swordplay cool and the CGI is greatly improved in Goemon as well as the characters. They are more complex, all with fleshed out pasts that intertwine with one another throughout the picture, and being a visual spectacle with a run time of 128minutes, everything just works and is the perfect film for the fearless Kazuaki Kiriya. I funking loved it!
If it comes to a film festival near you, definitely try to catch this. (Only $11)

Couldn’t agree more! We just saw watched Goemon and we’re obsessed! We had no idea that Goemon was by the same person who made Casshern, also one of our favorites.
There’s something magical about Goemon’s “obviously epic” style. Simply amazing!
