if you mess up hot girls + weapons + sand worms, WHAT GOOD ARE YOU?
on my twitter feed, came across the Golden Rock review of Assault Girls, and it was not good at all.
@GoldenRock
"Assault Girls terrible and terribly slow, even for Oshii, who can make a 70-minute movie with three girls with weapons feel boring."
emphasis mine - seriously, Japan. HOW IS THAT POSSIBLE. I mean America has churned out its fair share of CGI-heavy brain-melting head scratchers, but generally it's entertaining crap. I'm a fan of the Golden Rock (he's in my links list) and trust his reporting for the most part, so I'm really disappointed that Assault Girls has delivered MEH instead of OH MY GOD AWESOME as I was hoping. Because while it didn't look 'good' (in a you know, plot and story sense) it looked entertaining.
And now I hear it's BORING?
WTF JAPAN. HIRE ME TO WRITE A BAD MOVIE. I WILL USE NINJAS.
