Devilman

Description

Best friends Akira and Ryo (played by real life twins Hisato and Yusuke Izaki) are your average high school students, that is, until they learn that Ryo's scientist father stationed in Antarctica has accidentally unleashed a horde of demons upon the earth! The demons spread like a virus throughout the world, possessing ordinary people and turning them violently against each other. (It sounds all too familiar in 2020!) When Akira becomes possessed, he becomes the one and only Devilman, an all-powerful demonic entity who somehow retains his humanity. It's up to Devilman to wage cosmic war against the destructive demons, now led by Ryo who possesses equally opposing evil super powers! Prepare for an apocalyptic showdown that will shake the very heavens above! Based on the ever popular manga by Go Nagai (Cutie Honey & Kekko Kamen). The Izaki Twins are brothers who appear in films such as Crows Zero and Crows Zero 2 and they are J-pop singers. Review: Devilman - this is a awesome movie. a new breed of supernatural superhero is born. when a kid's father accidently releases demons from the beyond the demons poses and take over humans and one boy is taken over by a demon but he still has his humanity and when threatened he changes into Devilman. This is a Japanese movie and it is dubbed in English. the acting in this film is great and the story is great. great movie. this movie is based on a Japanese comic book. if you have not seen this movie then i recommend you do Review: Not a good movie critically speaking, but not the worst Manga LA Movie ever - This Movie's reputation is infamous for being THE Worst, but honestly this was not that bad. It's not a good movie though when looking at it with a Critical perspective, the CGI is Terrible even in the context of the time it was made and the Storyline is incredibly rushed considering it tries to cram the Entire story (Which consists of 5 Volumes btw) into a 2 Hour movie. But, what was here i feel was Alright. I'm retivally new to the Devilman franchise, Only having seen the 80s OVAs at the time of writing this, but i feel that this movie did have some effort put into it and wasn't just a cheap cash grab with No Soul or Heart put into it, Like one YT Review Claims. This movie does have some unintentionally Funny moments in it also which did help relieve some of the more Darker moments of the story, even if it was not intended. The movie i feel really picks up near the end, it's VERY Depressing so if your not in the right state of mind to watch this sort of thing, go watch something else. Overall, I feel this movie was Okay. It's reputation is VERY overblown like a lot of Things are Online, but it's nothing that is worth watching more than once. As for the Blu-Ray itself, It's a good release. The Video Quality was Pretty decent, like a 3.5/5. It looks to be a transfer of a 35mm Film Print and not using any of the Original Film Negatives, Dirt can be seen throughout the entire Runtime, but it's not distracting. This does not even have a Blu-Ray in Japan so this is possibly the best we will ever get. the AQ and Special Features also get a 4/5 For me. Overall, If your a fan of Devilman i say this is worth checking out at least once.
