A Classic Attempting To Make A Comeback In The 21st Century Of Anime Films…
Its the fifth film of this old Japanese anime (animated) series and its an attempt at rebooting it to our more modern times. With that said its a no go as, wonderful as it is, it exists in a different formula of film making and, is therefore too dated for the 21st century approach to anime.

Its a tale of a protector and his team, as bodyguards/detectives, in a case that was meant to be an easy job…BUT! The rest is the usual formula of most detective style story’s; solve clue’s, find the answers and solve the case. The City Hunter series has its own style (like any other character in any type of story/film) and thus, it has to remain faithful to the recognized formula. Some of the complaints from people of this film are obviously not aware of formula’s attached to film/series characters! You would not change anything about DC/Marvel heroes or they would not be the same people we love! Its a strong and well weaved written story plot that makes a series successful and, although this films story was okay it was too weak to make it great!

If you are not a fan of Japanese Anime you will not like this. If you are the modern generation type who only watches violent, blood & gore animated films etc…you will not like it either. I still think its worth a watch if you want to know what the anime style is like.

Excess of fan service does not help
This review will make more sense if you have been a City Hunter fan for a long time.

All this movie is about sending you back to what City Hunter used to be by pulling all the strings you already know from the series:
* All the situations are too familiar (litterally everything is predictable, from what is going to happen to what the characters are going to say). Love hotel scene, naked bar scene, shower scene, rooftop scene… ask it, you’ll have it.
* The soundtrack reuses old (and great) pieces but in awkward moments. They seem forced on you. Some are also cut in a weird way. The few new musics are very bad and do not fit.
* When you see Cat’s Eye as a guest, you have expectations. Well, don’t. Besides being a taxi for a couple of minutes and putting Umibozu in a “ridiculous Vegeta moment” they are useless…
* The robotic and technology flavor makes the lack of a decent bad guy more obvious. Fighting an army of clone robots was disappointing. Even the “cute” robot was a bother, but I guess every story needs its annoying Jar Jar Binks now…

… There are so many things to say about what went wrong here including CGI that does not blend in, some of the drawings and animation that are not up to standard for a “movie” format…

In short, this movie was a lazy attempt to surf on a long and excellent franchise by forcing ALL of the tricks from the series in 90 minutes. It felt really sad. I cannot recommend this to anyone…
