| User ReviewKullen SI am a huge fan of Hideki Kamiya's video games. His work doesn't have that Japanese feel to it, as he really knows how to appeal to Americans. The same can be said for the studio responsible for this feature length animation, whom also made the wildly popular Afro Samurai. I wasn't a huge fan of said show, but I do believe the creators were a perfect fit for this adaptation for many reasons (Which are self explanatory). Not to discredit this feature, but I feel like it was an appetizer to be served alongside the release of Bayonetta 2. It cuts out a lot of what's in the course of the original game and shoots for pure fan service, and this is done very well. You get to see the titular character in all her glory, wonderfully animated down to every last detail. Her body, hair, suit and even makeup are reflected perfectly into this film, and that goes for every other character as well. Very impressive. Another great thing is that the cast from the game returns in its entirety... Well almost. Bayonetta, Luca, Enzo, Rodin and Jeanne all retain their original voices, while Cereza and Balder do not. Minor setback. The action and comedy are in tact and so is all of the blood and racy nature that you would expect. I'm glad they didn't go all out on the nudity like the studio has done in the past, it earns its R rating without the use of nudity commonly found in anime. I'm surprised this wasn't taken advantage of, but also happy. The game never showed any bare breasts no matter how close they came to doing so, or how bad you wanted to see them. It's a tease, and adds to the humor. The film follows the same formula. Now as far as the story goes it's exactly the same, but executed differently. Imagine an ARRANGE MODE of Bayonetta, and for the most part that's what you'll be getting here. No worries though, you'll still get to see 90% of your favorite baddies in some way or another. My one complaint however has to be the somewhat anticlimactic battle with Jubileus, and that's a big no no in a movie based upon a NONSTOP CLIMAX ACTION game. I'm not too upset over it though. This is definitely worth buying if you love Bayonetta like I do, and will look pretty alongside your shrine of memorabilia. |
| User ReviewArgenis MEvil Angels and witches defending humanity, doesn't get any better than this for entertainment. Plus three female leads. |
| User ReviewAndreia BNever played the game but the movie was very nice, the story was very interesting |
| User ReviewVinnie CWith over the top violence & sexuality and a lead character, plot and visuals this fun, Bayonetta has no business being boring, but pacing issues plague it and kill any momentum it manages to build at every turn. Bloody Fate is basically recommendable with reservations, if for no other reason to take in Bayonetta herself, but (as this adapts the story of the first game), you would be better off picking it up on the PS3, Xbox 360 or Wii U and enjoying it that way instead. |
| User ReviewRaji KBayonetta : Bloody Fate is based on the video game. Bayonetta is a witch who fights and kills angels to keep the balance of good and evil aligned. When a mysterious saint makes his first appearance and demands the resurrection of ancient god to bring forth a new world things get all the more interesting. She comes to realize that she is a key to this so called salvation and in the process she will discover her lost memories and true purpose. The Bayonetta movie is enjoyable for those who enjoy the game and has beautiful animation. Lovers of animated films should enjoy it as well, but the film does not extend to anyone else beyond these select few interests. |
| User ReviewPablo G3/5 Bloody Fate tries to cram 10+ hours of extreme and brilliant gameplay and story into a half an hour anime film, without care for the pace or the character development that the game pulled off so well. |
| User Reviewcornelius tThere are some games that would make great movies, and games that should stay games. Bayonetta falls in the latter. Fine work by the original voice cast, and occasionally good animation doesn't make up for the poor pacing, rushed action sequences, and the sheer lack of energy and fun of the game that it's trying to emulate. If it was an original tale, rather than an adaptation of the first game's storyline, it might have been decent, but the many omissions and changes prove to be a detriment, rather than helpful. A big disappointment. |
| User ReviewPaul DIn all fairness the cutscenes to the game serve the same purpose and also have the advantage of being attached to one of the finest games if it's genre. |
| User ReviewMarcus WEverything you expect from a videogame adaptation aimed at teenage boys. |
