Megamind To all those who have watched it: I hope you enjoyed it as much as I do.

Kaydan Christian A terrific literary drama and character piece that shows how the process of creating art can be seen differently by those doing it and those looking at it from the outside.

Kimball Exactly the movie you think it is, but not the movie you want it to be.

jephiachantharath This movie was introduced to me when I saw Paprika a while back,it was one of the previews before the movie. I thought it looked imaginative and interesting, but when I watched it I was somewhat disappointed. I still find it enjoyable, but it's completely different from what I thought it was about. So apparently it's about these two orphans named Black and White, who make up a gang called the cats who run the city of treasure island. With that I thought it was unconvincing that just two kids could be so dangerous, but when we get into the jumping scenes it's not all completely unbelievable, and it happens right away so that's good. Another thing to note is the animation style, it's definitely different from most anime's I've seen, luckily it's not the detriment to the film in anyway, and if anything it adds to it. The themes that this movie tries to convey is what irritates me, for them being so bluntly obvious. The characters names: Black and white, seriously? Your going to the basics of thematic righting? Black being the absence of emotions the chaos if you will, and white the purity the innocence. Even later when Black has a yin-yang on his shirt, they couldn't have made it so blatantly obvious what they're trying to say: that one can't exist without the other. I guess this wouldn't be as bad if I felt for these kids, but they're aren't that interesting. I mean white acts like a special child; which suppose to mean he sees good within the rubble, and Black is so depressing and pathetic. There are moments where I do like them, for instances when they play around and fight those other kids in the beginning of the film, they looked happy and I felt that. The supporting cast is not all that great either, there's a yakuza member who has no real point to having a story arc; although the scene with his boss is really good, which by the way the mob boss is one of the few characters I liked. The cops: pointless, the old man: why? That purple guy named snake: well he was essentially to the plot and his minions were cool in action. Finally the scene with the demon black is really pretentious, I mean it an evil inside him; hasn't that become a cliché long before this movie? Talking to Black about how he'd be so much better without white, and I already know how's this is going to end so it's watch watching at this point, and then it finally ends somehow with the two at the beach like White always wanted. So overall, this is an average anime film, but a not so great film in general. Please note I wanted to like this film; and I do to an extent, but the overall obvious thematic elements and lack of interesting characters makes this not anything special.

Andy Steel A very interesting style to the animation; quite simplistic in a way, some of the cityscapes reminded me a little of the work of the artist L. S. Lowry. Still, great to look at and also quite a complex plot; maybe complex is the wrong word here, let's say I found it quite complex but that may be because I was following it via the subtitles (never all that easy with a very wordy script). Performance-wise, I know it's quite hard to tell in a foreign language, but I'll give honourable mentions to the voice talents of; Kazunari Ninomiya as Kuro / Itachi, Yû Aoi as Shiro, Yûsuke Iseya as Kimura, Kankurô Kudô as Sawada and Min Tanaka as Suzuki.Having read a few reviews I've noticed that several reviewers struggled to get into this one. I had no problem, although I did find some of the plot a little too far-fetched. Yes, it's obviously set in a different world to our own but its roots seem very grounded here; the 'flying men' were (maybe) a step too far (for me). Having said that, I still found it quite satisfying and highly enjoyable! Certainly one I would watch again at some point; if just for the fantastic 'minator' sequence.SteelMonster's verdict: RECOMMENDED.My Score 7.3/10IMDb Score: 7.5/10 (based on 4,507 votes at the time of going to press).MetaScore: 65/100: (Based on 9 critic reviews provided by Metacritic.com at the time of going to press).Rotten Tomatoes 'Tomatometer' Score: 72/100 (based on 18 reviews counted at the time of going to press).Rotten Tomatoes 'Audience' Score: 32/100 'Want To See' (based on 7,335 user ratings counted at the time of going to press).You can find an expanded version of this review on my blog: Thoughts of a SteelMonster.

KingdomSora This movie is quite something, I didn't know what to expect when i bought the DVD online, But i did make the mistake of allowing my 8 year old little sister to watch it with me without first watching the movie myself, Not that she didn't enjoy it but some scenes were inappropriate with sexual references, Gore and Disturbing Scenes. But luckily she was too young to understand most of it. (the UK age rating is 12 but i would disagree and bump it up to a 15)Anyway, This movie was quite a beautiful movie, with stunning scenes which are very detailed, The English Dub is surprisingly great (Most dubbed anime tend to be quite bad) The music is beautiful, So beautiful in fact, that i felt compelled to buy the soundtrack. The story is Gripping and Emotional and sometimes a bit confusing but once you think about it then you get to understand it easy. The characters are very likable (especially the younger brother, White) The animation style is unusual but it has a certain "je ne sais quoi" =DAll in all this is a very attractive movie and a Moving one too, every time i see it i really feel emotion and at one part (you will see when you see it)it actually makes me well up with tears.I highly recommend this to everyone over the age of 12 (but i suggest parents to watch it before letting your children watch it XD)

juanjevz Graphically and wonderfully made, it lacks of some nice guide just for you to follow the story. So it's kind of mixed up and has things you can't understand at all, even when you have had the opportunity of seeing other anime movies or anime in general. With a beautiful scenario, animation and and very wonderful score and soundtrack (which actually I liked more than the movie itself) Its an enjoyable movie but it has something in the plot and the way they create the movie that made it hard to watch. We have to consider that this movie was planned to be a series but it end up being a movie. That's why it is a little messy. And not to mention the annoying always moving camera which is something that has to be managed very carefully and with this movie they simply didn't care. Sometimes it was wonderful to fly over the city, however many times they abused of the camera movements and that's something I really hate. (besides being obviously annoying and dizzying) However, the overall movie was quite good and watch-able, recommended for people who has seen anime before though.
