Hola amigos || Hello friends
I think many of you will agree with me when I say that reliving the 90s remembering the zodiac knights is something extremely emotional. Remembering those hours of classes lost to be at home on time, turning on the TV, preparing a jar of milk with serial and then tuning in to the new chapter of Saint Seiya The Knights of the Zodiac was normal for all kids or at least for me it was.
I have been able to enjoy almost all the history of this great saga and I have found very good movies in comic format and they have really been very good. I was never a lover of Dragon ball. In fact I was very nostalgic when the zodiac knights series was cancelled. Yes, it's true that it was getting a bit annoying because they only got to the 12 house season and reset it. In other words, we would go back to the beginning of everything. Once we got to Asgard and they did the same thing to us. Still, I find zodiac knights more interesting than dragon ball.
I had known for some time that they were talking about the adaptation in real format and well, it really sounded very interesting, especially because of the evolution that technology has undergone. My head exploded with thousands of ideas or rather doubts about the result of this adaptation. I thought that once again it would only be words and promises but a few days ago I got it on the home page of HBO Max and I did not hesitate for a second to prepare myself something to eat and then play it and enjoy this long awaited movie with popcorn.
Empecemos: - Let's get started:
At the beginning everything was going well until a moment so fast I could realize that the story was not the one I knew. In some adaptations it's normal to have a change but I think in this kind of story that has already been marked for a decade, making some change should be something more than great. But we will be facing another Japanese-American production wanting to squeeze a story that already works. For a moment I thought, well, there are free adaptations that end up being a success, right?
The battles look like those Chinese fighting movies my dad used to watch every Sunday when I was a kid. To me, as I mentioned at the beginning, it's indisputable the technological advancement that exists today. That said, there are ways in which these battles could have been epic. Although well, there was only one battle between knights. Something I also consider a big mistake. I'm sure for many fans it must have been a huge disappointment.
The movie lacks a lot to give not only in story but in everything that a production entails. And I'm no expert, but it's clear that they missed those real ones. In my opinion there are many inconsistencies, to start with the failed approach to the world of Seiya, Athena and the zodiac knights. A story that was created with immense affection and with a fascinating original story. Its mistake, wanting to change the story.
As I have said in previous posts, I do not intend to make a spoiler. This is just my humble opinion. If you want and like, you can watch it so we can share some opinions about this new cinematic failure.
