it meets its self-indulgent decadent goal

Rating: Null/10 (21 August 2007)

There is a reason why currently over 141,000 males and 14,000 females have rated this movie-- it's very much a macho-movie. Lots of decadence, self-indulgent exploitations and graphic gore.
This is the perfect made-for-video-game movie. In fact, the movie borrows quite a lot from video game effects and styles.
Yes, it's a graphic fantasy of wonderfully-done photo-anime' scenes, complete with fast-stop-fast speed variations.
Is it worth watching? If I've already made you think twice and wonder whether you ought to watch, it's still interesting. Still, you'll have to deal with the excessive gore, the excessively done and unnecessary sexual scenes, and the self-indulgent decadent flamboyance of this post-western-civilization celebration.
