It has some crazy cool style, and such an interesting blend of costuming and era, and just some good fun.
But it was like watching the anime movie without having watched any of the individual seasons: I really felt like things were missing. And not just in a "figure it out yourself" kinda way, but in all the ways that someone who'd seen everything/read the book/loved the comics would take for granted.
Wasn't even really Nic Cage at his most Cageiest. And he really shouldn't do action scenes that require dexterity, because it looked clunky.
Overall, I didn't think it was too bad. But I also didn't think it was that great. Maybe in another day or so, I'll want this to actually be only 3 or 4 stars. But for now, it's okay.
Not for everyone, and your life won't have a huge hole in it if you never see this. But also not something to hunt down and watch.
