 Other than the gorgeous scenery, the merits of this movie are few and far between:
Gone are Naoto Takenaka who lend tremendous credibility to this series (especially #3)and the lack of dialogue which allowed the camera to do all the talking, with incredible effect, in earlier titles in this series, has been replaced with choking amounts of dialog, yelling and screaming, together with surreal violence and 'suspiciously close-up' female body parts.
It's not all that bad a movie, though seriously limping. It just has no place in alongside the earlier ones, and gore violence and obvious 'plastic surgeon body parts' and female crutch shots does not make up for the fact that Naoto Takenaka is sadly missed. This one has lost its' credibility, as far as the series goes, but if you have never watched any of the others in the series, I suppose you will never notice. |
