    Knights of the Zodiac is such a funny film even outside of being Saint Seiya are they aware they made the whole thing about Seiya being gay

    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.

    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.

    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.

    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

    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

    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.

    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.

    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.

    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)

    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.

    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.

    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/
