 | JonTheMan (27) 11/28/2003 | I would so desperately love to give this film a five. Really I would but the plotholes inherent in its structure (or are we just supposed to work them out) are to overbearing to cope with. There was very little explanation on what happened giving us little space to hypothesize upon the outcome. Apparently the 1000 page manga was better at explaining it so perhaps this film was too condensed. Anyway on the other hand its candy for the eyes, ears and general dark noir of its epic structure. This is one of those films that you have to watch a couple times to understand, I think.

 | LadyShark4534 (12) 11/04/2003 | A good, interesting film that landmarked the start of Anime fandom.
Plot: Vicious Biker kid Tetsuo gets kidnapped by the government and tortured and given deadly psychic powers....Ones that can blow people to pieces and others just as bad.
Pros: Good storyline, well developed character detail, Realistic voice acting,
Good animation
Cons: A few meaningless characters and a couple of plotholes.
