Anime Review: Fatal Fury the Motion picture

Review Fatal Fury the Motion picture Written by Warpshadow Rating good

The Fatal Furry movie is a favorite among others at Nz17.com While I do not share there enthusiasm with the movie certainly believe it is a fun one to watch.

A powerful Artifact, part of the armor of Mars has been excavated and some mysterious men steal it. At nearly the same time a girl is being chased by masked men. Fortunately for her Terry Bogard is nearby and saves her. The woman's name is Sulia and she is the sister of Laocorn, the leader of the people collecting the pieces of the armor. If all six pieces are assembled the wearer will become as powerful as a god and ruin will befall the land. Terry and company won't have any of that so they are off the stop Laocorn.

This is an action movie based on a video game series of the same name. Unlike some fighting game adaptations the movie does stick to a coherent plot and isn't bogged down by a load of characters. Although there is a plot enjoyment of the movie rests on the fight scenes. They are flashy and use a lot of named attacks with bursts of energy but except for the climax they tend to be short. In essence the movie is about as good as the Second Oav with just a more ambitious plot. I would suggest renting this is possible, it is enjoyable but not great.
