I just watched the live action Gatchaman film form 2013 and wow, it's like someone hired the Japanese equivalent of Zack Snyder to turn Gatchaman into a soul less, deadpan serious, grim dark for the sake of grim dark, joyless, borefest. Did the person behind this film even watch the original series? If you want to see Gatchaman done right in live action, watch Jetman. If you need to cure your insomnia from a plot that makes absolutely no sense with actors who either forgot how to act or just don't know how to in the first place, this is the film for you. None of the villains received any sort of development at all, in fact, it looked like the production team just decided to rip off Kojima's Beauty and the Beast Corp with the villains of this thing. Not to mention the villains went from being a terrorist organization headed by an alien to some virus turning you into monsters bulls***. Oh, and where the hell were all of the mecha? It's hard to believe that this movie starred Shinken Red, Ultraman Geed, and the Spider Orphenoch. I can not believe the Japanese were willing to watch this piece of s***. Not only is it worst than last year's Ghost in the Shell adaptation, but it's on the same levels as Dragonball Evolution and Netflix's Death Note film.
