This film follows the adventures of Joe Shimamura, a racecar driver who dies in a car crash, has his body stolen by an evil organisation called "Black Ghost", and unwillingly gets brought back to life as a technologically-enhanced cyborg. Side note: there's a few segments with rapidly flashing colourful lights, but I'm genuinely not sure if it's rapid enough to cause epileptic seizures Other issue: some very obvious racial and gender stereotypes Main issue: anti-war theme conflicts with the rest of the film It's a superhero-style kids movie from the 60s. (although idk if anyone cares about spoilers for a movie like this) Go and see it if you are into some cheesy 60’s Cyborg action. Especially that first tv series started two years afterwards.īut I can say that the opening was nice :> The movie is good for those who wants to skip the first two story arcs of the manga, but for those who already have, this movie will not give you anything new. If you go through the movie, it also seems that this movie is more aimed at the leader of the group rather than the group itself, which can be a disappointment for those who wanted to see a chemistry with all the characters. Which weird in the narrative when you consider 2/3 of the movie introducing the characters and escaping Black Ghost, just to have a time-skip and a final fight at the climax.Įven if we spend most of the movie introducing these characters, we know more about the cyborgs power than their personality. The story seems to be cover the first chapters of the first arc and the last chapters of the second arc. But this movie is more of an adaptation than a retelling, which I think the movie suffers the most of. It follows the source material well, even if they changed Joe from being juvenile to a race car driver since he would look better I guess. This is troublesome since was on the big screen and not in the smaller screen, but I let these thing pass since it was made in the 60’s, where even Disney was doing it. I mean this is the guy who supposed to bring war to the world right? With those things being his actual mouth?īesides that, the animation can suffers sometimes with repeated shots and sequences. But the design on their villain is too silly for me.
I have no problem with how the character looks like, Even if some of them look like stereotypes, I’m surprised that they brought a nice voice for each of everyone where they could had easily done it the other way around. The voices matches the character design and their personality. All of the cyborgs have their own unique abilities and they show it off how they are working with each other.įor the voice actors, they have done a decent job. The action scene are done well for it’s time and it’s entertaining to see how the Cyborg are overcoming whatever the organization is throwing at them.
