BUNRAKU micro review





it's not often that i'm this conflicted about a movie. on one hand it has some of the most innovative visuals i've ever seen, a great cast, good action scenes and an interesting premise. on the other hand.... IT'S TOO DAMN LONG!!! and the pacing is all over the place. if this had been tightened up by about 30 minutes it could have been great, as it is I find it difficult to sit through some of its (exorbitant) 2hr running time. though i will say, when this movie is good, it's amazing!


Such a good cast, such a cool concept, such a visual spectacle....
how did it end up so damned boring???

it's worth it to check it out on netflix instant view if for nothing else than the amazing visual story telling. just be sure to bring a book for when the movie slows to a crawl every so often lol.
