Tacticalin An absolute waste of money

Kirandeep Yoder The joyful confection is coated in a sparkly gloss, bright enough to gleam from the darkest, most cynical corners.

Rosie Searle It's the kind of movie you'll want to see a second time with someone who hasn't seen it yet, to remember what it was like to watch it for the first time.

Scarlet The film never slows down or bores, plunging from one harrowing sequence to the next.

rubn0 This movie is very good in its production and in impressing the viewer with deepness of things and mystery and tantalizing emotions and so on... just, like some other reviewers wrote, like Akira. However, there are some things so wrong with it, I could not agree less with the praise in total. For me, this movie was a waste of time. This is why: - It's sci-fi, but it doesn't apply to its own rules of reality. For example: whenever there is no solution for the good guys to win, something miraculous happens around which the story clearly put boundaries before (like sudden loss of enemy abilities without reason), just to make the good guys win. Actually not even miraculous at all, right? Clearly an example of lack of imagination or time put in the movie. - It's the typical movie where shooting goes on in all directions and everyone is shot except the main characters (good and bad), which could happen with super-strong powers, but suddenly when the main characters fight, they need to protect their faces and weak spots, some even get killed with weapons from the "weak troops" before, only now held by the hero. These sacrificial troops obviously couldn't even shoot a target with 50 to 1 men ratio... Wow, they must have hired the worst soldiers ever! Wait, maybe that was also in the plot and all planned by the bad guys? Yeah, right.). - The story and the ethics don't make any sense if you pay attention. It's as if the writers forgot how good they were and just copied their former stories, only without consistency. Well, maybe the target audience are children, but still..

cyberbat I saw this on my dvd. The people were too quiet and the sound effects too loud so I was continually fiddling with the remote.The animation is ok, but not worth gushing over.Story was not really all that interesting to me, I wasn't expecting a war epic like gasaraki.But a solid bit of work none the less. 7 out of 10.music was good.

Grail_Plus This movie is a roller coaster ride of awesome action sequences, fantastic characters and visually stunning animation.The movie is based around an elite International peace keeping force known as ARCUM, who has a special agent in every country, Spriggans. The story revolves around Spriggan Japan, Yu, who's past demons resurface to challenge him in a race to find an ancient artifact.Part Akira, part Indiana Jones, Spriggan is non stop action but with a great story. Unbelievably entertaining...

ranma9362 While most stand-alone big-gun anime films(such as "Akira" and "Ghost in the Shell")rely extensively on confusing plot elements,"Spriggan" breaks this unwritten rule and is loaded with action sequences and a rather understandable,but not bland,plot.The bottom line,however,is that "Spriggan" was clearly the better movie.Each instance that I watched "Akira,""Ghost in the Shell,"and to an extent "Metropolis,"I was saying "What the (censored beep)?" at the end.Not so with this movie,even when the ending suggests the "to be continued in a sequel" possibility.To me,"Spriggan" is a modernized version of another good anime movie,"Ninja Scroll."It was satisfying from beginning to end...
