ScoobyWell Great visuals, story delivers no surprises

CommentsXp Best movie ever!

SteinMo What a freaking movie. So many twists and turns. Absolutely intense from start to finish.

Whitech It is not only a funny movie, but it allows a great amount of joy for anyone who watches it.

SpottedZebra Sometimes viewers like to read all kinds of meanings and metaphors into what is essentially just a hodge-podge mess of ideas that a director stitched together with the flimsiest of story-lines. Yakuza Apocalypse is one of such films. Having watched 13 Assassins, I came into this movie with high expectations. And it started off...rather well. A yakuza boss who also happens to be a vampire is killed but he manages to transfer(?) his powers to his underling who then is out for revenge. Unfortunately it is not as simple and straightforward as it seems. Throw in a couple of twists and soon this movie becomes weirder than a lizard wearing a sombrero and dancing the flamengo with a stuffed teddy wearing an eye-patch and smoking a Cuban. A severed head that bites, a woman whose brains literally leak out from her ears, a bi-polar, psychotic, axe-wielding kid, a man in a frog mask wearing a frog party costume, vampires who don't seem to be affected by sunlight, a priest with a mini-coffin on his back...There were some genuinely ridiculous and funny moments but in the end, this movie is just a mess. And the ending doesn't tie up anything, nor does it answer any questions you might have. In the end, some will like it, and try to justify their fascination with unintended metaphors and meanings which I am sure the director never really intended in the first place. Others, like me, will wonder why they didn't stop at 13 Assassins, and try to find mental soap to wash away the cluttered images that are going to stick around in our minds for a while. My goodness this movie is weird.

Bram Veneman This movie is from Takashi Miike so its on the weird side. That said, if you like slow paced Japan style logic and if you like action; this movie delivers in the most pure form. Combining the crazy and absurd." Like Sukiyaki Western, but not a western and way better! "Story 9/10 Action:8/10 Romance: 7/10 (there is) Acting:10/10 Cinematography:10/10The story line is insane but also good if you think about it. If you think there are gaps, you need to let go and just take it and move on. There are mysteries in life too and these gaps were put there purposefully. Thats the difference. Fights are well fought, and the final fight is the essence of fighting: brutal. Its a stupid fight but isn't all fighting meant to be stupid. You can argue, but fights don't decide whose right, just whose left.Visual aspect is whats most surprising. I watched Full HD. Selected scenes are portrayed in such a cheap way, its almost nostalgic. Reminded me of watching stuff like Power Rangers or Teletubbies. And still it was good.

Daniel Rodrigues This movie is a poorly attempt to create a stylish vampire/mob movie. It has some stupid elements, in an other poorly attempt to create comedy, perhaps trying to appeal to more than one type of viewers... To bad that didn't work. I was hoping, that, when I saw Yayan Ruhian in the cast, that the movie would have been more competent in the action scenes... even though the excellent work of Yayan Ruhian, the movie went down the drain very fast...Takeshi Miike was always connected to excellent film-making, but this is awful and boring... Some once told me that From Dusk Till Dawn 2 was stupid, because there was no logic, on having vampires steal a bank... I enjoyed that one... but this one is a mess... not worth watching it.

David Tjahyadi This is pure crap, I expect a stylish dark toned movie from Takashi Miike, he could have made this a simple revenge flick with a tragic ending and a nice fight along the way.But for the love of god a frog man? Gavanesgue monster with exploding volcanoes? This is utterly crap even for Japanese weird comedy standard, the fight scene are terrible, and Yayan is wasted in this putrid garbage.There's no drama, no character development, not even logical comedy (if there's any), it's just pure 2 hours of horse manure, and at least give us a f**** showdown we paid our money for, not you throw punch i throw punch kinds of crap.Seems like Miike is trying so hard to make an abstract garbage which is really garbage and none of the abstract. I want my money back
