Talk:Yamato Takeru (1994 film)/@comment-343942-20140309064339

I have some mixed feeling about this one:

The plot isn't really that special, your typical fantasy/adventure stuff, but even typical stuff can be well received if done well. The pacing of this flick is what works against it; it moves along so quickly that there really isn't much room for any defining character development.

On the other hand, I must commend the film for its special effects, which, in my opinion, is some of Toho's best work, with the final battle against Orochi being epic as hell.

Overall, an uneven execution, but if you're a fan of Toho's special effects, it's a great visual treat.
