..."something better"? Oh give us a hint. Whacha got?
I think the Sky Captain comparison is unfair. I mean really, I'd enjoy the addition of Angelina in the mix, but it reminds me of when they were calling Steven Chow (Kung Fu Hustle) the Jim Carrey of Hong Kong. Does that make Chuck Norris the Jet Li of America? Come on now... That being said, I didn't see Sky Captain. I wanted to, not just because of Angelina, but mostly to see Greg's set maker credit....
Casshern is pretty over the top imagery-wise. It borrows so much from anime, but it looks totally different because it's live action and CGI. Plus the story was interesting, once you get past those weird plot gaps. It's pretty hallusinatory, so like Brazil, I can totally accept the logic leaps because the film already makes you park your brain outside, from the get go. I can't imagine Sky Captain was as visionary.
