Moon Child Audience Reviews

Redwarmin This movie is the proof that the world is becoming a sick and dumb place
GazerRise Fantastic!
Voxitype Good films always raise compelling questions, whether the format is fiction or documentary fact.
Bob 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.
hemiller-156-369791 In 2014, Japan's economy is in ruins. In the slums, orphan boys meet up with an injured man, who then saves them from a victim of their robberies. Learning he is a vampire who says he has no reason to live, they accept him as one of their own and spend years together climbing the Japanese gang ladder. Adventure and thrills are the only things these men live on. However, when one of them falls in love with a girl whose brother also has gang ties, tensions rise between now brother-in-laws and only . So when all the former orphan boys start dying from rivals, the question is how to band together and whether living life immortal is worth living at all.
L D I've never really been a big fan of Gackt and Hyde (correction, i hate Gackt) so when me and my friends found out he made a movie and did everything himself, we where we got to see that. Preparing ourself for the worst kind there was. But we got pretty surprised. The story was pretty impressive, Gackt was a pretty good actor. There where pretty fun moments in the movie to, so even if you don't like Gackt, you can spend your time with watching him fall all the time and other stuff and some Yaoi moments. Other then that the flying fish and the drugged pizza's from Toshi (played by the same guy that did Shogo Kawada in Battle Royale) and humoristic situations during the battle scenes was also good. the only thing that really bugged me was the time skips all the time..
Edenknight I'm a fan of both actors/singers especially Gackt and when I first discover this movie and watch the trailer,I just think this is a silly one.After a long waiting time,I watched it at last and here's my comment...I consider everyone knows the storyline and not going to mention about it,instead of it my first applause goes to acting,generally that Japanese movies hasn't got brilliant and acting.Yet in MoonChild's all cast is simply wonderful and got into it,especially Gackt reflects his characters emotions and changes pretty well,I like many of his scenes both dramatic and humorous ones,as for HYDE part,his acting is good but he deliberately staying in background as an actor,respectively as his character do,throughout the movie.I didn't like some cinematography especially lighting and some colors but due to small budget,it still has brilliant moments,but the real jewel of the film is story.It has some cheesy moments but it's OK for me,and the friendship theme of the movie is really well developed and touching at sometimes,on the other hand story points out a cruel world which no ones life guaranteed and with some memorable death scenes it reflects this theme to the visuals.An interesting note aside,this movie has some similarities with excellent vampire movie Interwiew with the Vampire which is also played by the most beautiful(not handsome,beautiful)actors of American cinema,actually Moon Child is somehow can be seen as brother with Interwiew,yet original on it's own.Only problem that MoonChild is it's a bit slow sometimes,I'm a Japanese movie fan and I used to that but it's not change MoonChild has some useless scenes or characters.But all in all;this movie is really good and very emotional sometimes,as for actors/singers duo I hope to see their other movies in future,and I recommend this to everyone who likes vampire-action-sci-fiction and romance films 8/10
raidynzgirl Vampires, sexy guys, guns and some blood. Who could ask for more? Moon Child delivers it all in one nicely packaged flick! Gackt is the innocent Sho - who befriends a Vampire Kei (HYDE), their relationship grows with time but as Sho ages, Kei's immortality breaks his heart. It doesn't help that they both fall in love with the same woman. The special effects are pretty good considering the small budget. It's a touching story ripe with human emotions. You will laugh, cry, laugh, then cry some more. Even if you are not a fan of their music, SEE THIS FILM. It works great as a stand alone Vampire movie.9 out of 10
