Knights of the Zodiac, despite its reasonably minor flaws, is fun. Read full review

Knights of the Zodiac is a good production in terms of its action and cast. But when one focuses so much on the fantasy-action set-pieces, having a soulless story makes all efforts fall flat. Read full review

The defanged action sequences don’t leave an impact, and what was once an engaging story about Greek myths and destiny has been downgraded into a cliched “battle” between technology and faith/magic. Read full review

Knights of the Zodiac fails to inspire enough excitement to meet the prospect of future sequels with its lackluster visual effects and rather clunky storytelling. Read full review

That Bagiński’s Knights of the Zodiac amounts to a well-intended disappointment doesn’t mean it has zero merit as a work of entertainment, but it will neither satisfy the fandom’s demands for a true-to-the-bone homage to their childhood favorite, nor will it transmit to outsiders why this tale of blind courage in the face of insurmountable odds has inspired such decades-long devotion.

This live-action co-production between Sony and a Japanese animation studio begins with the colorful bounce of Paul W.S. Anderson directing a cosmic X-Men knockoff, and quickly runs out of gas in a way that resembles the worst of Sony’s Screen Gems genre arm. Read full review

Fans of the comics will certainly get more out of it than newbies like me. All we see is all the other middling YA sagas it resembles, borrows from and fails to match or improve upon. Read full review

Me gusto la vi dos veces, la vi con mi hermana y la pasamos bien, ahora ella quiere volver haber la serie. No me gusto la banda sonora, cambien al compositor.

Passable but...
It's a movie inspired by a famous anime, manga (and Toy line) series of late 80's, where mystical warriors inspired from various constellations and classic greek mitology clash with each other. Anime in particular was very successful and has a cult following to this day.Passable but...

Review:
This movie seems filmed in the early 90's, when film adaptation of comics/manga/videogames where cheap, and only loosely based on the original works (like Masters of the universe, Barbwire, Double Dragon..). This movie has the same cheesy dialogue, low budget fx, over the top action sequences, cold colors palettes, famous actors tossed in for a cameo, changed plot-looks and setting from original work.
You can have sone fun with this movie if you want to watch one of those cheesy film of old (like 90's Super mario movie).
If you are looking for a faithful, modern take on Saint Seya you will be disappointed.
This movie it's WYSIWYG in the trailer, so take a look at the trailer and you can get a good impression of the movie… Expand

One of the WORST adaptations ever made of an Anime, an absolute lack of respect for the original work, the fans and the heart of the franchise.
It has nothing redeemable, a nonsense of epic proportions.

Another example of why they need to stop making live action adaptation of famous animes. This is just some random "sci-fi" film loosely inspired in Knights of the Zodiac.

vi la película,las pelas están bien, pero la historia es mala, hubiera empezado la película desde el entrenamiento y poner al shun y darle otro contexto a fenix y darle mas minutos de pantalla. Fui a ver la película con bajas expectativas pero su primera media hora hasta el entrenamiento esvi la película,las pelas están bien, pero la historia es mala, hubiera empezado la película desde el entrenamiento y poner al shun y darle otro contexto a fenix y darle mas minutos de pantalla. Fui a ver la película con bajas expectativas pero su primera media hora hasta el entrenamiento es muy malo, lo mejor fue la maestra Marin se veía bonita, me da la impresión que el mayordomo tuvo mas acción que fenix, si hay una segunda parte no la veré en el cine… Expand
