Movie Viewing Thread #84 - Chaos Reigns

[MekaGojira3k]

Again, I'm going back to my classic formula of things I have copies of but haven't watched yet.
SO LET'S DECIDE FOR ME, SHALL WE?

[Psycho Soldier]

Well, I guess I haven't watched Pulgasari in a while. I'd also like to see The Last War sometime.

[MekaGojira3k]

I voted Spook Warfare and Death Kappa. I've yet to watch any of the old Yokai Monster movies, and I'm curious about whether Death Kappa is as awful as people say.

i would suffer through Death Kappa again, if i had a guarantee that someone else was suffering as well

Death Kappa is in the lead!

Less than 6 minutes into Death Kappa.... Ughhhhhh

[klen7]

Even with the English dubbing turned on, the american narrator's audio is Japanese. This is apparently a joke.
+ Most Kappa scenes
- Most scenes involving "State Guard"
+ Daikaiju sequences
+ 80 minute runtime
+ Hideki Anno and Shinji Higuchi cameos

Below is my live reaction while watching the movie..so its very spoilery.


2/5 stars.

Almost finished watching Death Kappa. First time I've ever seen it.....and I'm kind of enjoying this....

[klen7]

^ Has anybody heard from Alpha OTS since he made this post? I am afraid he may not have survived the movie! It had clearly begun to affect his mental state already

^ Cool figure.

I did watch the "movie", I'm just trying to find time to write something coherent. Too much crap going on life-wise.

[MekaGojira3k]

So Death Kappa was insane. It felt like it was nearly there....like...strange moments that were almost funny but nope. The kaiju sequences look too much like Ultraman sequences, but for some reason they look worse here. I don't know what it is, this really is as terrible as I had been told. The movie succeeds more at being off putting/weird than it does being humorous/weird.

It's awful and I kind of never want to see it again. Now, I'm wondering if my memories of Monster X Strikes Back are correct, because that seemed funnier.
