2.0 out of 5 stars Dissapointing, July 26, 1999
By A Customer
This review is from: Macross II [VHS] (VHS Tape)
Let's get one thing straight, Macross II is NOT a true sequel to Macross. Why? Because Shoji Kawamore and Studio NUE (the creators of Macross) were not involved in this project (unlike Macross Plus). The story is about a purehearted young man, Hibiki, who meets (and falls in love) with an alien singer, Ishtar. The two try to stop an alien invasion with the help of a tough, attractive military woman, Silvy (which starts a love triangle). They find out that Ishtar's songs has the power to confuse the enemy. Sound familiar Macross fans, it should, because it is almost the same plot of the original Macross. But it does'nt come close the paragon of storytelling that Macross was. The animation was OK, but the dubbing was terrible. I would have rated this VHS higher if it did'nt have the name Macross written all over it. Very dissapointing.

2.0 out of 5 stars Very slow and boring for extended periods of time., July 9, 1999
By A Customer
This review is from: Macross II [VHS] (VHS Tape)
The plot is overused. It's another "guy meets important alien girl who thinks are customs are strange" movie. It doesn't start off bad, but after the first battle and maybe another 10 mins, it became extremely boring. The movie just drones on from one slow, boring scene to the next. If you are going to watch it, just fast forward to the siege of Earth at the end, which isn't even that great.

2.0 out of 5 stars Mech are great, plot isn't there, June 1, 2000
The mechanical and space craft designs are great. Unfortunately the plot is a total turn off. A reporter jumps into a fighter jet, then becomes a ace pilot? You tell me ! The japanese can do better than that! They did, in Macross and Macross Plus...............
