It’s cliché. So what?
Yes, it’s cliché. So what? Have you seen many Japanese live action adaptations of powered superheroes in the last twenty years? Then I rest my case. Cliché is practically a genre unto itself. But there are a few surprises here, and the moments ripped directly from the series will (perhaps shamefully, but it’s dark in the cinema so no-one will see you) have you clapping your hands like a kid again.Sadly, the story was cheesy. It was too melodramatic. The plot saves were sloppy and the dialog was groan-inducing. In the hands of the Japanese equivalent of Joss Whedon (if he even exists), Gatchaman could have been something magnificent, but instead what you get is pretty much exactly what’s described on the box, except with real actors and sometimes sub-par special effects. If you have complaints about this, then perhaps you should just think about the number of live action adaptations film-makers outside of Japan have been responsible for that have ruined your childhood for you. I could make a list. It would start with the Thunderbirds, and it wouldn’t end there.
Surprisingly enjoyable…
Okay, well first of all I can’t claim to be familiar with the “Gacchaman” franchise in any form or manner. I happened to get a chance to sit down and watch this 2013 movie from director Tôya Satô here in 2020. And being an avid fan of Asian cinema, of course I did sit down to watch it.Granted, with no knowledge of what I was getting into here, I had no expectations to the movie, nor any prior lore of the franchise or anything to compare this movie to.
And I must say that I was entertained. Sure, this was geeky in a manner that only the Japanese cinema can produce, but it was oddly enjoyable nonetheless.
The movie’s storyline was entertaining, albeit very straight forward and generic, to the point of being very predictable. But luckily enough the characters, costumes and special effects drew the attention away from the generic storyline, so the focus point was shifted in favor of the movie.
Now, I wasn’t particularly familiar with the cast ensemble that portrayed the various characters and roles in this movie. But I will say that they actually had put together a good cast list, because the actors and actresses were doing good jobs.
I was genuinely entertained by this 2013 movie, and as such I am rating it a six out of ten stars.
