Excellent adaptation.

This is one of the best movies I’ve seen in a very long time. You have to go and see this on the big screen.

This is one of my favourite films ever. When I first started watching it, I thought it was rubbish, I was shocked by how bad the GCI and everything looked. Just in terms of how unrealistic it looked like its using really old technology. For the first 30 minutes or so of the film I thought it was just going to be a completely rubbish film. However gradually I started to appreciate some of the truly beautiful moments of the film, the way the GCI and everything is used is very artistic, there are some more abstract messages in the film, there is a lot of symbolism and beautiful messages portrayed in an artistic way. By the end of the film I thought it was so beautiful. It is definitely worth watching to the end.

the history of film is full of entries that have more style than substance, but rarely has the divide between the visuals and the content been this wide. casshern is a unique, dazzling visual spectacle, but otherwise its deeply flawed.lets talk about those flaws first. casshern makes the classic sci-fi nerd mistake of wrapping an undercooked idea in an overcooked plot. the resulting story is boringly simplistic and incomprehensibly convoluted at once. at its core, casshern is an anti-war movie, but not only does it have nothing interesting to say other than "war is eeeevil", but it contradicts itself by fetishizing violence, and clutters its main message further with a vague anti-bio-engineering stance that seems completely unfounded. add some outrageously dated gender roles, a sluggish pace, unclear character motivations, lots of heavy-handed melodrama, and a plot so byzantine its all but incomprehensible on first viewing, and you have... a hot mess.however, for those who are patient and bring some good-will, some of those problems become less pronounced on second viewing. once the plot more or less clicks, the story shows a little more depth than it initially seemed.but the one thing that makes this movie worth watching - and make no mistake, it IS worth watching - is its visuals. words can not describe what a gorgeous steam-punk sci-fi animé masterpiece this is. every minute is brimming with dazzling pictures, from the eye-popping landscapes, to the head-spinning battle scenes, to the terrifying flashes of war-memories. really, I'm not gonna go further into this, because whats the point? just go and see it. you will probably find the story acceptable at best, terribly boring at worst, but the visuals will make sure that you wont regret a single second of it.

While I watched several good animes, this movie has all of the bad features of the genre. First of all, the story told makes no sense whatsoever; it is full of holes and flaws and different pieces are much more eager to run away in all directions than come together. This could perhaps be mitigated by nice graphics- if we lived ten years ago. However impressive the pictures might be, they are no art and not worth watching on their own.What really put me off was prolonged, pointless monologues (or pseudo-dialogs, pseudo as the speakers never listen to each other and just say whatever they want) explaining the most obvious feelings of the characters to the viewer in the most cheesy, pompous way possible. It was also terribly painful to listen to endless tirades that repeated over and over again, claiming truisms like 'war is bad' or 'love is nice'.I definitely did not gain anything by watching this movie, apart from a potential excuse from watching an anime next time.

First off, I found this film to be the best movie I've seen in my life, I'm not a Japanese fan of some sort, I'm just the movie-watching guy who likes cinema. I went into this film expecting to watch amazing battles and visual effects that would blow my mind, and indeed I found them, but I came up realizing it was much more than just that, but a film that encompasses every aspect of war, and not just that but also about human behavior and a theory on the creation of life. The film combines everything: action, drama, beautiful photography, Sci-Fi and a solid storyline you must watch several times to fully understand this marvel of film.The best movie I've seen in my entire life...a film that will stay in your mind forever, 'cause if Casshern doesn't do it, who will?
