Too much of everything

This is one of the few movies I've ever seen where the whole audience broke into spontaneous, loud applause a third of the way in.
One of the most extraordinary films you will see this year. Take that as you want.
CYBORG ASSASSIN is a comic strip movie brought to the big screen, although it's actually condensed down from a TV series so it feels more than a little choppy. I was surprised by the basic quality of the animation, which simply isn't very animated and looks like your normal web series. The plot mixes the historical with the futuristic and sees the titular hero battling a demonic overlord. It's heavily influenced by Japanese anime, but nowhere near as good.
2014 comic strip film edited down from a 2011 TV comic strip series "Space Ninja". There is nothing new, same feudal culture and violence. The animation is relatively poor quality. Editing down the space opera quality (though not high) of the TV series reduces any pretense of "art" to comic stripped.
