Funny, brainless, cool

Reviewed in the United States on June 30, 2002

Verified Purchase

Let me first say this: There are many different kinds of films in the world of anime.
There's slow paced thought provoking dramas like Jin-roh, psycological mind-bending thrillers like Perfect Blue and visually impressive adrenalin rushes of action like Akira where the only moral seems to be "with great power comes great responsibility" and then the audience is treated to hours of explosions and psycic powers and imploding body parts and splat-gore-mutant-blood-screaming actionpacked fun to emphasize this point.
Spriggan is another one of these.
And as long as you realize that, before sitting down to watch it, you'll be okay with that beacause it does it really well. The action and the animation really IS impressive, and you will be entertained the whole way through as long as you don't expect the story to make sense, the characters to have more dimensions than the sheet of paper they were drawn on and the audience to walk away with any profound insight or valuable morale.
Spriggan is just not that kind of flick.
It is merely there to entertain. And it's not like it even pretends to attempt to go any deeper than that. So I'm cool with it.

I love this classic

Reviewed in the United States on February 1, 2013

Verified Purchase

I have been waiting a long time to get this feature and it was well worth the wait. The story, while not bad, may not be to everyones liking, but was totally enjoyable to me. The reason to get this movie is because it was made for the big screen. No, not the one in your house but actual movie theaters, so the animation as well as the voice acting is just simply mind blowing! Unexpectedly, it also came with the movie soundtrack which is just as involving as everything else in this masterpiece. Plus there are commentaries that do what commentaries are supposed to do, inform on all aspects of the feature making process. All in all, this edition is well worth the money paid. Get it! You won't be unhappy!

Lots of fun. Nothing too deep

A+ spy/action anime. Lots of fun. Nothing too deep. Think Jason Borne with cyborgs and some sort of dinosaur cave. And a French guy who is actually pretty cool.

This is a really cool film, and the fight scenes are sweet. I hear the animator or creator of this was the one who did Akira too. You can definitely see this because the main character at the end seems similar to the kids in the Akira film. I just wonder if there are any other films with these kids (blue kids) in them?

Pretty good anime title.

Reviewed in the United States on May 3, 2003

Verified Purchase

This movie can best be summarized as Akira meets Universal Soldier meets Raiders of the Lost Ark. The basic plot is that one group has located Noah's Ark. Another group wants it. Both groups have elite soldiers who fight it out for possession of the Ark. The animation is this movie is pretty high quality, and the added in computer graphic effects are very well done. Bottom line: Good movie for anime fans.

Not the greatest but you could do worse even if you could also do a lot better

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on June 28, 2016

I got a copy of this on the recommendation of a friend but our tastes must be way different in anime.
Its OK, there's good action and the animations good, but...

the main twist as to the ...origins shall we say of the main hero aren't the most original.

So, not bad, but not worth paying full whack for. There's a lot better out there even of the same age as this!
