Hokuto no Ken Movie

Following a cataclysmic nuclear war, the world teeters on the brink of complete destruction. Civilization is polarized into a degenerate society where opposing packs of marauding scavengers prey on helpless, homeless nomads. For those who are lucky enough to survive the constant brutality and danger, it is a bleak existence. Life an death blur into abstractions. The only hope left for mankind is to find a hero worthy of becoming the next "Fist of the North Star" - an enlightened warrior - who is capable of leading those with the will to survive out of this barrenness into a new world. But in this savage no-man's land of shifting loyalties and power-hungry demi-gods, heroes are in short supply.

this is really good movie... but just lack of "omae wa mou shinderu " line...
this movie can short my time from watching all episode to understand what Hokuto no ken all about...
after watching this movie you can jump to movie the remake...(raoh verse ) ...
i enjoy the story...
the fight is cool..
the chatacter is cool too..
if you never watch hokuto no ken.. this can be a good first try... but remember.. some scene in this movie is different with manga/ anime series

Mixed Feelings

Look call me a weenie or whatever but i just cannot recommend this movie, and here is why.
This movie is what's called a recap movie, it hopes to condense the whole series into this 2 hour package, in order to make it easier for people to get into the series, but that's where it ultimately fails. You see, this movie is structured like one of those youtube "best of" video's, it's a constant barrage of event's that feel barely connected, if you haven't seen the series before you will get lost real fucking fast, and that kinda defeat's the purpose of a recap movie. ... If you are a fan of the series you have no reason to watch this, since you already know what's gonna happen, and if you are not a fan, you will be better off just watching the original series, since you are not gonna understand shit. There isn't much they could do to improve this really, maybe they could produce multiple movies, but with the animation budget they had, i can't really see that happening.
Here is the TL;DR if you wanna watch Ken, watch the original series, if you already watched Ken, don't bother with this.

Not Recommended

After watching "Hokuto no Ken" and "Hokuto no Ken 2", I decided to watch this movie which tries to cram the story covered in multiple manga issues and series episodes into a hour and fifty minutes long movie. If you watched the series, this movie is downgrade in almost every way except in animation, which is good and the first battle with Raoh, which is more impressive in this version.

In almost every other way, this is a bad product. Gone is the iconic music (though there are two notable tracks in the movie), character development is almost completely butchered and Kenshiro is like some ... sort of demigod who is unstoppable all the way until the final fight with Raoh. The movie features more violence, but only manages to be more grotesque instead of cool. Stylistic depiction of violence was in my opinion much better than this. It is sacreligious how the tragedy and sacrifice of the original story is turned into a mindless violence spree.

While I was at the university, I wanted to watch this movie with my friend who never watched anime before. I'm glad I didn't watch this with him, because he would have thought that animes are trash. This is neither a good movie nor a good adaptation of Kenshiro's story and only way you can like this movie is if this is your first contact with the series or you are such a hardcore "Hokuto no Ken" fan that you adore everything done with the series.

As far as I'm concerned, while the movie is definitely not unwatchable, I don't like it and I don't recommend it. 4/10!
