Well, it's starting to get worse. Maybe i'm just a little burned out when it comes to the Code Geass franchise by now, but this wasn't exactly great. Mind you, none of the previous movies were, but still, the 3rd installment is the worst so far. However, i am almost done with all of it, so i am going to pull through now, my mind is set, so let's talk about what i didn't like and what i liked about the third Akito the exiled movie.
Story: It starts stupid. Like, really, really dumb. Our heroes are broke, cause some idiot in the european army
...
wants to get back at leila and then they get scammed into working for a bunch of old gypsys. Now the question i asked myself the whole time is: Why are they doing that? Just tell them off, don't do...that. Hell, they literally molest both Ayano and Ryo. Yeah, those are our heroic soldiers, what a great statement for the protagonists. At least Akito doesn't participate in all of the madness, but he still gets dressed up and follows their orders. Again, why? Clumsy Leila is kinda cute, but that's such a cliche by now, the sheltered rich girl. The rest of the movie is a subplot handling Lelouch and Suzaku and our main antogonist, Shin. That was okay, everything involving Lelouch is always an upgrade. That's really it though, there is some Geass-stuff as well, but this is all we get. I am not satisfied with that, especially since i don't even like the resolution so far to Lelouchs story. This can only be a 4, no matter how hard i try to find something redeeming.
Art: Nothing new here. I got my Lancelot fight (superhuman Suzaku still makes no sense, but whatever, anime) and that was pretty good. The fanservice is getting really overboard, maybe someone can explain to me why Ayano pulls the zipper of her already revealing, skintight suit to to her belly-button. That wasn't a negative point though, quite the opposite, heh.
Sound: More of the same, however! I will add one point for lelouchs voice, what a great man.
Character: Lelouch and Suzaku, even some C.C. That's it, moving on. Nah, just kidding, but those three certainly help. In setting up the antagonist for example, that one is actually threatening and absolutely ruthless, i guess that's what you want from a villain. Well, a motive would be nice too, but that's probably coming up. I hope so. To the protagonists, i can once again only talk about the attractive females. Do you see what that implies? That they are boring, really, especially Akito. He's Sasuke, that's all he is, it's lame. So i just stare at their bodies and these movies are very generous with showing them, so it all works out. Not really, it could be better, but then again Lelouch. I´ll keep the seven.
Enjoyment: The start made me a little angry, other then that, i enjoyed it as much as the previous movies. But the beginning annoyed me so much, that it costs two points for this category.
So what can i say at the end? Something clever? Hah, no, you're wrong here if this is what you seek. I still want to see the remaining two movies, but i start to think that there will never be any satisfying resolution. So i watch it for the booties. I don't, i'm not that much of a degenerate. Ugh, what is happening to these reviews, i need a timeout. Only two more...only two more. And then we'll see what's next. Something really good would be nice, i just want to fanboy all over a show, that could be fun. But we will see.
