Laikals The greatest movie ever made..!
SparkMore n my opinion it was a great movie with some interesting elements, even though having some plot holes and the ending probably was just too messy and crammed together, but still fun to watch and not your casual movie that is similar to all other ones.
Aubrey Hackett While it is a pity that the story wasn't told with more visual finesse, this is trivial compared to our real-world problems. It takes a good movie to put that into perspective.
Caryl It is a whirlwind of delight --- attractive actors, stunning couture, spectacular sets and outrageous parties. It's a feast for the eyes. But what really makes this dramedy work is the acting.
GunhoJang Must watch in Blueray. Amazing action sequence. Great Visual. Great Story.
DaRangedTC When the Heavenly Sword game came out, it was at the pinnacle of the PlayStation 3's graphics and even the original graphics from 2007 look better than this movie.The animation, the acting, and the dialogue, everything that made the game brilliant is missing in this film. The characters have little to no facial animation when expressing emotions. No effort has been made to try and match the mouth movements to dialogue. Might as well be watching Team America/Thunderbirds puppets in CGI. Only the backdrops look good... from a distance, because as soon as you get close they blur or pixelate... and I am not even going to get started on the physics are represented.The film also borrows the 2D animated miniseries which preceded the game's release. This is chopped up and used to tell an abridged version of the story, but they have also dubbed the original voice which was much better acted than its replacement, so I cant even give them credit for that.And then... there are the continuity mistakes.. even as bad as to switch King Bohan's scarred eye from left to right and more than once in the opening act!? Unforgivably bad.Not having much to fall back on, there is none of the music from the game which was beautiful, and the story follows some real gagworthy plot clichés.Sorry, in a nutshell.. there are no redeeming qualities, so don't waste your time on money on this.You're much better off watching the Full Cutscene version movie of the game on YouTube, or playing the game on PS3.
pnice87 Graphics was so and so. Close up animation of characters had sharp edges, scenery was beautiful, but the overall feeling was really been letting down by the bad character graphics.Storyline was OK, predictable at many points. Plot was heavely on the difficulty of being of female gender in ancient time. which was surely mention a lot of times. Last, the sword, even though it had huge significance in the story, could have been more awesome.So overall rating of 4 is a combination of: - 1/10 for character animation - 7/10 for scenery - 6/10 for storyline - 3/10 for character voices and identity - 3/10 for the swords awesomeness (or lack of).If you can live with bad animation and have nothing else to watch, this can be recommended.
gerry barnaby Film Reviewer Heavenly Sword is an film animation from the popular game on the PS3 (play-station) about a heroine and her sister, with an unbreakable bond, that set off on a journey to to find their long lost brother chosen by fate to wield a sword of the the Gods. The story concept of this film is an extraordinary story, specially taken from a games own storyline, but sadly this animated film has a lot of flaws which lets this film down. The voice acting is good but Some of the animation lets this down. Any one that has played this game will know this story all to well only Problem is i cant give any thing else about this film that good because there are just so many things wrong with it it just a let down, some may like it where other wont.Dislikes : The physics of the animation was off at times and things were sometimes way to fast for what they ought to be, but i think this was down to rendering, The animation is pretty poor for this film, which suggest a very low budget as the film feels like Long game cut scenes movie between game play. I feel the C.G.I could have been done better specially with the fight scenes i feel if you going to have blood in a scene at least show like the person is been cut & not just have blood spurt out, it shows no realism in this film, sadly for an animation of this storyline this was a big let down, which ruined the film for me.
