CLAMP's broad appeal with anime fans is beyond me, still to this date. At least everyone gets killed quite fast here. What a waste of X-Japan's Forever Love and "X".
I saw the alternate series that followed this film first, and I'm glad I did. I probably would not have watched the series after seeing this movie.

I like the movie only slightly more than the series, but the series is, by far, more in-depth and equally good. Then again, one can't rate the movie, or the series, or the manga....
They all have different endings!!
The story can be a bit confusing to start. There are great fight scenes in this movie that lend to classic wire work in martial arts movies. Not a movie for kids because of the blood and a few scenes with horrific images.

Part of the reason it moves so slowly is that it takes time to introduce the 20 or so main characters in the film, and it takes some time to show each of these characters being hacked to death with sw... Full Review
Earth versus Heaven is always an interesting conflict, but it's seldom looked so beautiful.
An all-female studio made X. However, don't expect any feminist insights: the villainess still has huge jugs . . . Full Review
a visually extravagant, exhilarating explosion of animation that makes absolutely no sense Full Review
The spectacular artwork and animation go a long way toward keeping the audience captivated. Full Review
In a movie that is deadly serious, the stilted dialog provides unexpected sources of mirth. Full Review
