neutral · AI labelView post →9.) COMPLETE - Knights of the Zodiac (2023) This movie is fucking weird because when it actually adapts Saint Seiya, it's pretty okay. But it feels like the script got mixed up with a standard Hollywood sci-fi action movie, and the result is wildly inconsistent. Cool action scenes though.
neutral · AI labelView post →If the whole movie was as good as the Seiya and Marin training sequences in live action Knights of the Zodiac, it could have been a real all-timer.
neutral · AI labelView post →Finally watched the live-action Knights of the Zodiac movie just now and... I don't hate it. I don't think it's amazing or anything like that, but I can see that they, at the very least, gave it an actual, earnest go with it. Leagues better than Dragonball Evolution, for sure.
neutral · AI labelView post →3. Knights of the Zodiac This movie is an anomaly, like half of it is like a faithful mid-budget fan film with like some decent fights scenes, and then the other kinda is just some meandering sci-fi story that accidentally got mixed into the script. 🐴🪽/10
neutral · AI labelView post →6. Knights of the Zodiac (2023 movie) ive never seen a movie oscillate so much between a 4 and a 5
neutral · AI labelView post →For April Fools' Day last year I pit Dragonball Evolution against the live-action Knights of the Zodiac movie, thinking "This should be an amusingly silly concept, because there's no way one is handily better than the other" KotZ trounced DBE so hard that I seriously considered using the mercy rule
positive · AI labelView post →Screenapped for posterity people trying to argue with me after I said during a discussion of something else, that Saint Seiya doesn't have traction in English markets. Their examples of popularity were the old Knights of the Zodiac dub, and the live action movie. So... wow.

neutral · AI labelView post →#34. Knights of the Zodiac - 6/10 Watching this with absolutely zero experience with Saint Seiya probably helped a lot for me to appreciate this as a cool action movie, even if it's a generic one.

neutral · AI labelView post →I'll give Knights of the Zodiac 2023 this: if you want to sell the concept of the franchise to non-fans and casual viewers, starting the film off with two Golden Knights battling in the sky while Sean Bean narrates how they were so powerful their fists cracked the heavens is a good choice.
positive · AI labelView post →Bluesky y'all gotta start allowing videos in here so I can talk up the sick action scenes of Saint Seiya aka Knights of the Zodiac live action film
positive · AI labelView post →There's an awful live action movie of Knights of the Zodiac (or Saint Seiya) that came out recently.
negative · AI labelView post →Looking at "Knights of the Zodiac", a live-action movie based on the Japanese manga "Saint Seiya" and which word should not be used to describe it: www.youtube.com/watch?v=mcgZ...
neutral · AI labelView post →Why do I like the Knights Of The Zodiac movie even though it's practically nothing like the manga? No reason... 👀
positive · AI labelView post →Watching #KnightsOfTheZodiac felt like white noise. Despite a good director, decent CGI and performances, the script it's weak as hell and it completely destroys any potential this film could have. FULL REVIEW: mydramalist.com/profile/namj...
negative · AI labelView post →Every now and then I randomly think about the live action Knights of the Zodiac movie that came out like 2 years ago. Saw it in an empty theater except for two women who were pointing out comparisons to the source material to each other.
neutral · AI labelView post →Now Watching: Knights of the Zodiac Anything to keep a controller out of my hands that will inevitably have me queue up again. It's about time to see if they did my dear Saint Seiya any justice. On my knees praying right now.
neutral · AI labelView post →I've committed to watching the Knights of the Zodiac live action movie. My childhood had a crisp, 4 frames a second animation. Wow me, movie.
neutral · AI labelView post →Crazy how similar I felt Legend of the White Dragon was to the live action Knights of the Zodiac from a few years back. Both have very similar vibes and styles of acting, both set up for sequels that will never happen, and both have Mark Dacascos. Of the two, Zodiac is the better film imo.
positive · AI labelView post →Knights of the Zodiac The fight scenes are good but that's the only thing this movie has going for it. It was funny watching the bitrate die every 5 minutes. 5/10
neutral · AI labelView post →Oh yeah forgot to mention I'm also gonna start posting F/Os other than Zoro, esp since I've added a few recently!! Like my new boyfriend Seiya from Knights of the Zodiac (the 2023 movie) Imma be frank I'm OC-ifying tf out of him because I didn't like the movie. (1/2)
negative · AI labelView post →i just learned there was a live action Knights of the Zodiac film with Sean Bean?? excuse me
neutral · AI labelView post →It was a mixed media piece (something i used to do A LOT back in the day). The drawing was made with pencil in A3 paper and, then, scanned and painted over in photoshop. I took inspiration for the torture on a scene from the Knights of the Zodiac movie that shocked me as a kid (back in the 90's)
neutral · AI labelView post →Knights of the Zodiac 2023 doesn’t have any of the Knights in the film call their attacks like the anime but still has Seiya comment that Marin’s attack (that’s clearly meant to be the Meteor Punch) looks “like a meteor shower.” Look closely and you can see the writers winking.
neutral · AI labelView post →12 year old me would have been obsessed with this fucking movie. Now Watching: 'Knights of the Zodiac' (2023) 📽️ #filmsky
positive · AI labelView post →Watching Knights of the Zodiac, and I can see why this film isn't as well received as it is. It's comparable to Dragon Ball Evolution in that there's only about 20% is very faithful to Saint Seiya, & the rest is typical Hollywood changes that's nothing like the series.
negative · AI labelView post →If you loved Saint Seiya growing up, there is a new LIVE ACTION movie based on it "Knights of the Zodiac" on Netflix. It didn't suck!
positive · AI labelView post →It has flesh-and-blood actors (and competent ones, too, like Sean Bean, Famke Janssen, Nick Stahl, and Mark Dacascos), but Knights of the Zodiac somehow manages to be more of a cartoon than the mid-to-late 80s anime based on the same intellectual property. #KnightsoftheZodiac #MovieReview #Fantasy #Action #Movie https://ninetypercentcrapmoviereviews.wordpress.com/2023/08/09/knights-of-the-zodiac/

neutral · AI labelView post →Watching 2023 Knights of the Zodiac It’s well acted, well directed, poorly written movie. Solid vfx work. Good, but fruity, fight choreography. I am only half hour in and the dialogue is so much worse than the paper thin plot.
neutral · AI labelView post →Surprisingly enough, the Knights of the Zodiac movie was actually co-produced by Toei Animation themselves (having previously produced both Saint Seiya anime series in 1986 and 2019) The rest of your statement is spot-on, BTW
neutral · AI labelView post →Watching Knights of the Zodiac Live Action, and its not THAT bad... There are parts that are cringe, yes, but I have seen way more worst xD. That Marin part TwT... That scene made the whole movie for me.
neutral · AI labelView post →Knights of the Zodiac (Prime Video). A few decent scenes (Marin with the mall's costume), but every minute it gets worst, knights are superheros with powerups, and at the end Athena basically tells Seiya to get the X-men together (hysterical laughs, Famke Janssen is in the movie) #MovieReview
negative · AI labelView post →Just turned on the movie "Knights of the Zodiac" to rest my weary mind with something that I can zone out with for a couple of hours, only to discover that it stars Sean Bean. I wonder if hisacharacter will survive the first half of the running time.
neutral · AI labelView post →#JanuaryMovies 15) Knights of the Zodiac (2023) The goddess Athena is reborn in human form. Ragnarok meets Power Rangers in a messy and dull family adventure movie based on a Japanese manga 4/10
negative · AI labelView post →Sean Bean makes a terrible movie bearable with his accent. Jupiter Ascending. Knights of the Zodiac. I reckon that he could have saved Stonehenge Apocalypse..
negative · AI labelView post →This is also the only good thing I can say about Knights of the Zodiac I watched over the weekend. It was such a stupid movie with a shitty script and it also looked like ass.
negative · AI labelView post →If I were a billionaire, I would, among other things, fund a short, high-budget series on the Knights of the Zodiac (with Sean Bean like the meh movie), high-powered in the style of the series. Directed by Tarantino. With this theme. youtu.be/Es6UdnZRML8?...
neutral · AI labelView post →Noticed that, in contrast to the manga and anime, the live-action Knights of the Zodiac film doesn’t have any references to Christianity.
neutral · AI labelView post →Wow the Knights of the Zodiac movie is so bad that the only salvageable point is the actor playing Seiya.
negative · AI labelView post →Ngl I had a hard time buying Madison Iseman as Sienna in the 2023 Knights of the Zodiac film right up to the point when she fully awakened her Cosmo. Then she got a manga-accurate outfit and hair color, and I was like "This is fine."
neutral · AI labelView post →3) My favourite anime is Saint Seiya/Knights of the Zodiac, and my favourite movie is Princess Mononoke

positive · AI labelView post →I noticed Viaplay has Knights of the Zodiac, the 2023 American live action movie version of Saint Seiya, and decided to stream it out of curiosity. This movie is like Dragon Ball Evolution with what little charm it had completely drained out.
