X - The Movie 2001 Horror Movie Review
Horror movies Review
Tokyo is the city where the final battle between the Dragon of Earth and the Dragon of Heaven will take place in the Japanese anime film X, directed by Rintaro (a.k.a. TarĂ´ Rin; Astro Boy, Kimba the White Lion) and written by the all-woman writing team Clamp. The Dragon of Earth wants to wipe out humankind because of the damage people have inflicted on the Earth, while the Dragon of Heaven is fighting to protect civilization. At the center of all this is Kamui, the chosen one, who must pick a dragon to fight for.
Full of dreams and flashbacks that pop up out of nowhere, the structure of X could be considered confusing and needlessly complex—if the story weren’t so simple. Obviously, we’re supposed to root for the Dragon of Heaven to win and save mankind, but the funny thing is, the Dragon of Earth has the better argument. If it were a debate, humanity would lose. But it’s not a debate, it’s an action film, and many of Tokyo’s most famous buildings get destroyed in the battles. As with most anime, the women are either girlishly cute or [**]ty, but luckily in X, there are no graphic rapes; the love interest is merely crucified three or four times. It may not be the greatest anime film out there, but at least it’s never boring. —Andy Spletzer
