I don’t think they’re bad, so much as bland. There is no real jeopardy, no real emotional connection. It’s a sequence of flashy vignettes held together by a loose plot device.

This has been the case for blockbusters and action movies for decades. Superhero movies have just taken the fun out of the action sequences and made them an empty spectacle.

Bro on right went from Dutch to English.

The anime is great. The recent remake is flashy but lacks the souls of the original. It wasn’t as bad as some critical and box office perform made out, but when a remake is worse than the original, what’s the point?
