Member daisho2004 Posted June 15, 2012 Member Share Posted June 15, 2012 Has anyone seen this new movie Wild 7? Below is the link to one of the guys who I buy from on eBay. With the trailer it looks really good. http://www.ebay.com/itm/WILD-7-2011-Eiichiro-Hasumi-Live-Action-Movie-DVD-Eng-Sub-/360466325519?pt=US_DVD_HD_DVD_Blu_ray&hash=item53ed77a00f Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Member jmungus Posted July 6, 2012 Member Share Posted July 6, 2012 action: very decent. none of it reaches a particular high or low. the one aspect of the movie that can be taken seriously. everything else: bleh, tired, generic, not well developed (most likely they didnt exactly mean to) and while it is all of the above, its not as bad as it sounds. it also has a superslick look if s/o cares and nice production values. to sum it up- a generic action thriller with the appeal of a bruckheimer production directed by john woo the 90s version, off a script that originated in the realms of manga/anime. gettin good as long as they fight or chase one another and otherwise movin along in a so so manner without gettin me too involved. my main gripes: the lackluster love affair (redundant); the absence of a credible threat (bio-terrorism doesnt have a face; sure theres lots of henchmen & a main baddie one can guess quickly, but theres no good movies without good baddies) & the fact they take their time (30, 35 mins) to seriously start setting up the plot of the flick. double bummer we have to wait that long and what we get is s/t way lukewarm. 6.3/10. mildly recommended for fans of the genre.

Member 66 Mantis Posted July 12, 2012 Member Share Posted July 12, 2012 Looks just O.K. from what I can tell by the trailer. I'm a fan of the original 70s T.V. series and assume the movie is based on the same manga. I'm a little leery of Japanese reboots, so I've stayed away from it up 'till this point.
