Here’s an early review of live action ‘Blood: The Last Vampire‘ over at Ain’t It Cool News:
An Early Look at the Live Action Blood: The Last Vampire
– The film is directed by Chris Nahon who also directed Empire of the Wolves, and Kiss of the Dragon. It stars Gianna in the title role of Saya, whom you might remember from the korean movie My Sassy Girl who actually does a really good Saya. I think they made a conscious choice not to sexualize Saya or make her cute because she is dressed as a Japanese school girl and it think it pays off, because it makes that fact that she does the things she does a bit more believable.
What do you think?
Sounds like it may actually be good, it doesn’t seem like they have watered down and Americanized the movie which is so annoying
I just watched it. It turned out to be an entertaining 2 hours, if not a good movie as well. However, I wish they would have spent a little more time on character development (and plot) and perhaps a little less time on the battle scenes (or a longer movie…). The fight scenes were fairly epic in my opinion, although her last fight is a let down compared to her early battle against an entire town full of Chiroptera (basically). Anyways I recommend it, although if you are huge fan of blood+ be prepared to watch this movie with an open mind
We have it at home, but haven’t watched it yet. Did you see the anime? If so, how does it compare?
