I was really only watching it cause I was told it was 'awesome, you need to see this!' and they brought it over. It's not like it was something I sought out, but the friend that brought it over wasn't really wrong about other anime so I gave it a go.Vausch said:I guess I don't fully understand why you wouldn't find them interesting, but then again I've seen all 3 versions of Akira at least a dozen times and written papers on them for school, so I guess I was looking harder.Lunar Templar said:Would help if there was any one in the movie to actually interesting enough pre super-power abuse to make any of that matter, sadly, there is not. For me, it felt like a chore to sit though, and any movie I'm sitting there going 'is it over yet' isn't gonna get a favorable write up.Vausch said:Yeah, I mean what's interesting about a person discovering power that no man should possess as they gradually learn to control and abuse it, eventually alienating all those that he called friends since childhood to form a dictatorship as his former best friend works with the people that created him to put a stop to his reign as he gradually loses control over his own body as the metaphor of an all consuming but childish nature personifies itself as a huge, all consuming mess of flesh resembling a fetus?
If that comes across as antagonistic, I swear it's unintentional. Just couldn't think of a better way to word it.
So there's nothing to figure out, I just didn't enjoy the movie. It's really just that simple.
