Knights of the Zodiac
Movies watched in 2023
Knights of the Zodiac (2023, USA/Japan)
Director: Tomek Bagi艅ski
Writers: Josh Campbell, Matt Stuecken & Kiel Murray (based on the manga by Masami Kurumada)
Mini-review:
This isn't as bad as some people say, but it isn't good either, that's for sure. The whole time I was watching it, I kept thinking it would have made a pretty good TV show. However, with a runtime of less than 2 hours, both the plot and the character arcs felt completely rushed and undeserving of their final resolutions. It also doesn't help that the movie takes itself way too seriously. But there are good things too. All the action scenes are impressive and the CGI is pretty solid, considering it didn't have a super huge budget or anything. And most importantly, the cast does a great job, and its obvious these actors elevate the material and save it from disaster. Mackenyu is as charming and charismatic as always, and he makes it clear once again that he was born to be an action movie star. And of course, Famke Janssen and Sean Bean deliver the quality anyone would expect from veterans like them. To sum up, Knights of the Zodiac has its strengths, but it left me feeling like it couldn't even begin to tap into its potential.
