Initial D the Movie

- The Path you Choose Will Be Your Destiny -

Well, after catching the show and my verdict? 3 stars out of a possible 5...and here's the reasons...

The movie is about 70 ~ 75% close to the animation or comic...everything from Stage 1 to Stage 2 of the animation is crammed into a 2 hour plus movie plus distortions of various sorts...so if one is not a true Initial D fan, the movie might just very well be better than most CGI car flicks...this one is definitely one of the better Asian racing flicks...

But then again true Initial D fans might think the movie is not that impressive as they tend to compare it with the animation which obviously is really hard to replicate everything into a 2 hour movie...

A couple of laughs here and there and most races are done in real life and not CGI generated but certain distortions really spoils the originals as they tends to deviate far from the real stuffs...simple things like a cup of clear water from the actual animation is replicated with some puke-looking murky liquid in the movie...*sigh*

Oh yeah I've got a comment from Amithyst...thanks anyway but how's War of the Worlds? Is it good? Seriously I haven't seen the original black and white one...hehe but I think those classic black and white shows like Frankenstein and The Invisible Man is really nice and not to mention Kurosawa's Japanese classics...hehe

Okay nothing much today except that I went out for Japanese lessons and watched Initial D after that...
