The knights of the zodiac, the American adaptation which tragically recalls Dragon Ball Evolution

Seiya and Son Goku, same fight! The Hollywood version and live-action of the cult manga is a digital porridge that questions …

Seiya was treated to its live-action version. And we still don’t understand why …

Zodiac knightsthe film, arrives for the first time on TV tonight in clear on TFX, with Mackenyuson of legend Sonny Chibain Pegasus armor.

And the least we can say is that The cosmos does not burn.

Announced as an event made for fans, this American-Japanese feature film produced by the Toeiis a complete failure, a cultural and visual porridge, which immediately summons the trauma Dragon Ball Evolution.

For years, Hollywood has been trying to draw from the gigantic ocean manga, cult animés, bringing together hundreds of millions of fans around the world, to make them large -scale cinematographic licenses. But these stories with crazy creativity are particularly complex to adapt to reach a vast Western audience in theaters. The license Dragon Ball paid the price in 2008 with the calamitous work of 20th Century Fox and the director James Wong. Since then, the film has become a kind of scarecrow, as a warning for American studios.

Unfortunately, the producers of these Zodiac knights did not listen. They still wanted to go there and try the Hollywood version on green funds, produced by a Polish stranger, Tomasz Bagiński.

No artistic direction and special effects that oscillate between embarrassing kitsch and pure nothing. We hold the successor to Dragon Ball Evolution.

Our dear Seiya ends up in digital porridge indigestible, an informed film that will not be able to satisfy anyone.

First, fans of the first hour will see in this sweetened version, greyish and without impact a form of insult. The fights are flat, the armor without radiance, the universe emptied of its mystical dimension.

Then, all those who do not know Princess Saori will find in this fantastico-martial Gloubi-Boulga a pale imitation Japanese of X-Men with fictional accents ya moors.

The real good news is that this crazy American adaptation should remain unanswered, given its shipwreck at the box office: 50,000 admissions in France and $ 7 million at the world box office. These pseudo-Zodiac knights will rest alongside Dragon Ball Evolution In the failed adaptations cemetery that fans prefer to forget.
