The Bird People in China (maybe the only good Miike Japanese Film) -
02-23-2008, 10:30 PM
I am far from being a Miike enthusiast, but I must say The Bird People in China was a delightful movie. (I gave it 4 Siberians out of 5 in my review)
I find it a little sad that Miike feels compelled to make the violent trash that he is more generally known for. Even his Power Ranger-esque movie, The Great Yokai War, was sadly warped in its unpleasant and unnecessary use of violence.
Just my take on things. :-)
