2.0 out of 5 stars I Want My Brain Cells Back!, July 24, 2005
Kekko Kamen is the live action version of Go! Nagai's manga and anime version of the stripped-down superheroine who exposes her body for the sake of justice. She is very cool and actually female-empowering. The anime was funny, but this movie is a waste. Parts of this DVD are funny, such as when the dimbulb main character can't read Kanji in class. But we don't see enough of Kekko Kamen (no, I don't mean it THAT way!) She doesn't have very much screen time. Any naughty parts are blacked out by huge blinding stars that cover most of her body!

The end is just embarrassing. They trot out pathetic villians that are not funny and no match for Kekko Kamen. The actress who plays Kekko has beautiful eyes, can use the nunchakus, and is amazingly confident in the buff. Too bad her talent was wasted.

There is an extra of a roomful of drooling Japanese men who have come to see the movie. The three female leads and the director talk about making the film.

Seriously, stick with the anime. This was a waste of 70 minutes of my life.

1.0 out of 5 stars HORRIBLE!, August 5, 2008
By Huston Huddleston (Sherman Oaks, CA USA) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
As wonderfully funny and silly as the Anime version of Kekko Kamen is, is how pathetic this live action is. All the humor of the original has been replaced by UNFUNNY gags and situations. No Nazi punishment teacher, no highschool students, actually nothing of the original. This is tame and pathetic in every way, not even mentioning the 2 dollar budget and poor video quality that even compared to the worst film at Troma would find unwatchable.
