- No, its not all I want in entertainment. But a little would have given the
- film new life. :) Besides, it was a joke in the first place.
-
- I don't know, but maybe watching this and "The Last Boy Scout" in one sitting
- made The Guyver look pale. I don't know, but its just that the acting was
- bad, and the costumes were, well, about Disney/Six Flags grade, and it was
- in the Sci-Fi section, and well, the anime was good.....but this? Well, this
- is a prime candidate for Elivira's or MST3K. :)
-
- Not that silliness can't be entertaining. I mean, I really like NG Knight
- Lamune and 40EX. But at least that made no pretentions of being serious
- stuff. The Guyver was packaged as serious Sci-Fi, and was made from an
- anime of fairly good stock. I was just disappointed, is all.
