Heavenly Sword (2014)

Very disappointing...

Easily the biggest piece of Right wing non sense propaganda I ever saw.

Great example of an old-fashioned, pure-at-heart escapist event movie that doesn't pretend to be anything that it's not and has boat loads of fun being its own ludicrous self.

Each character in this movie — down to the smallest one — is an individual rather than a type, prone to spontaneous changes of mood and sometimes amusing outbursts of pettiness or ill humor.

I don't get the bad reviews, half of what I've read of them aren't even true. The animation, for one. It's excellent. The textures are crisp and the backgrounds/characters are very detailed. I played the game to death and it was kind of cool to see a scene or 2 that made its way into this film from the game...with updated graphics. If whoever had a problem with pixelation, that goes away when you actually watch the real version as opposed to a crap downloaded copy. The story has been changed slightly, with some ...odd revelations. I won't spoil those however. The movie is just a retelling of the game. Unfortunately, they didn't have Andy Serkis for Bohan, but Bohan himself doesn't take up much screen time anyway. They did have Anna Torv (who I adore in any incarnation) Kai (Lydia Baksh) is back & a little more bold than she was in the game. Sadly, they didn't have the originals for Whiptail, Roach or Flying Fox. I hated Thomas Jane's character, who didn't exist in the game and the movie could have done quite well without him. Nariko is and always was, the "Chosen One" and she wields the sword as such, with none of those foul demon henchmen walking away from any confrontations with her.I'm probably a little biased as the game is what made me go out and buy a Playstation 3, I'm amazed the disc still plays after how much time I spent on it lol. But it's the story that fascinates me, this girl, this beautiful girl is what stands between her people and Bohan. And she prevails, but not without an extremely high price. Bottom line, watch it for yourself and make up your own mind...

Must watch in Blueray. Amazing action sequence. Great Visual. Great Story.

The movie is great and graphics are really amazing.See it in FULL HD blu-ray on the best TV led are very impressive.I don't know how others saw this movie and saw bad graphics...the texture and expression or modeling was amazing,stunning.Only one thing was bad...the physics of the animation,speed-movement of characters was fast with bad accomplished but...still, it's a movie made it after a game, so what? I never play it Heavenly Sword and now i really want to play this game.The story are strong and dramatic and memorable prime character, Nariko.Of course, Kay are second and maybe forthcoming heroine...I strongly recommend this movie, without great expectations but with some powerful pleasures...Goodbye Nariko, peace be with with you!

Graphics was so and so. Close up animation of characters had sharp edges, scenery was beautiful, but the overall feeling was really been letting down by the bad character graphics.Storyline was OK, predictable at many points. Plot was heavely on the difficulty of being of female gender in ancient time. which was surely mention a lot of times. Last, the sword, even though it had huge significance in the story, could have been more awesome.So overall rating of 4 is a combination of: - 1/10 for character animation - 7/10 for scenery - 6/10 for storyline - 3/10 for character voices and identity - 3/10 for the swords awesomeness (or lack of).If you can live with bad animation and have nothing else to watch, this can be recommended.
