Bright: Samurai Soul

I really do not understand the rating on this one. It's a simple good vs. bad story that starts in one end and ends in the other without many complications. There is nothing wrong with that in my opinion.

I think the 3D animation looks pretty minimalistic and there isn't much about it to dislike except some strange camera movement every once in a while, the fight scenes are as simple and pleasant as the rest of the movie.

The movie is quite short - as such certain character developments need to be a bit fast-forwarded, which - repeating myself once again, isn't really bad I ... think.

I noticed the music and sound design in particular is quite funky, though I note it does not tonally fit at all, I still liked it.

It's an experience as simple, pleasant and digestible as milk and cookies.

3DCG is not overal not bad. But the camera movement ruined the experience. They should recognize that making 360 degree or zoom in zoom out movement continuously didn’t make the scene better at all. They make color and line art like 2D animation then more fixed camera is more suitable. Even a 3D animation movie doesn’t use camera movement like that.

Music is not match at all, it is too cyberpunkesque. I think folk music style or using traditional instruments is better choice.

I don’t watch original movie yet but I think the plot is quite simple, not so much hype, and the end is really lame. ... Characters are also a bit flat too.

TDLR: Movie feels like it was written by a bunch of 12 years olds for school project.

Story: 20 minutes into the movie and i still have zero clue what is this thing even about. Ok, we have some humans fighting against each other and there are not only humans but other races also like elves, orcs, goblins. The only thing I know after 20 minutes is that they fight about something. Don't know what yet because movie didn't bother to tell you what it's gonna be about.

Only later we find out it's about good guys vs. bad guys fighting over some magical rod ... and magical elf that can handle the magical rod to it's full potential. Whatever, nobody cares at this point - should have told me that before both sides started to fight, maybe then i would care a little.

Art: CGI. A bad CGI to be precise. Movie had maybe like 1 or 2 moments when i wasn't feeling like vormitting.

Sound: Soundtrack would be good if it wasn't used in this movie, lol. Very unfitting in 90% of scenes.

Character: So we have 3 main characters. The very first one is some samurai dude that has a flashbacks about loosing his eye every 5 minutes. Second main character is some goody goody good orc whose character design is a copy paste of other baddy baddy bad orcs. There is also an annoying elf that screams and bites people whenever we can see her on screen. We also have 2 main bad characters that are baddy baddy bad guys. Pretty much all the characters in the movie are one dimensional and boring af. As for the NPC's that are slaughtered by our main trio - they're literally a copy-paste of each other. I've seen same dude dying over 4 times, lol.

Enjoyment: There is no enjoyment. Don't watch this.
