Yeah I definitely understand why people don't really like this Maya.
The character was anything but Maya, but then again seeing how the plot went...
...I'd actually be more shocked if she would be cheerfull in this.
She seems more realistic here IMO and I like that...I think(?)
And who knows, maybe if we get a sequel she could be more cherfull in that.
...Speaking of sequel though....I guess they could go with JFA, but....
It would mostly be about only the fourth case, right?
Not that I'd mind but....a full lenght movie with just that might end up boring.
Personally I'd like if the sequel (if we ever get one) is something like 2-2, 3-4 and 3-5 tied together.
Probably the best way for it to work as a sequel IMO.
Oh...and by listing the 2-4 there I mean to add it in more like the 1-2 was in this.
Just a quick backstoring with Morgana.
But back to this movie now.
So....I'm surprised how much deeper they made Yogis character.
I read people going like WOOOAAAA for it but I didn't wanna spoil myself.
Ok, it's still the same story, but...it's the way they did it.
Totally for it though.
Hmmm...I did mention something how the characteristics were OK at most.
Lotta is good Lotta and Larry is the goofy, bit stereotypical, annoying but funn friend etc.
But I'd be lying if I'd say the Edgeworth and Karma, for example, wouldn't be good.
...Granted they don't really act that much other than just stand there calmly, but hey; that's what they do.
And let me say before anyone sucker punches me; They're fine!
Takumi Saitô was perfect calm Edgeworth and I never expected him to go like whoooo-iiiiii, or anything.
Maybe they got easy by getting these characters or something, but gonestly I can't complain of their acts.
...And performances like Shunsuke Daitôs Gumshoe were okay.
I never got the feeling like; YES! This is THE Gumshoe! -but considering there aren't pretty much any Gumshoe movies in the end at all...
...It's just unfair to say he'd be bad.
And then there's characters like the Judge....
...He is really different from the game Judge allright, but I just love how he was like;
WTF is going on and that monotome voice of his with that same tired looking face....I just loved how he's like; I don't give a **ck...!
Really different but extremely funny.
But hands down my favorite performance was and still is Hiroki Narimiyas Phoenix.
He is funny, he is interesting, he's so desperate, he is completely over the top acting...and he is loving every god damn minute he does it.
I always found Nick a bit (note; only a tiny bit) more serious than this performance but he is just so entertaining and perfect that you can't help but just love this.
The facial expressions, the body movement, his voice....ASIAN JOHNNY DEPP GOD DAMNIT..!!! ASIAN JOHNNY DEPP...!!!
I....I don't really know what to say about the movie.
They fall on courtroom, they have Yannis dark past, they have deep thoughts in the end they have interesting mystery plot....
Comedy, parody, drama, thriller all in one single movie and I loved this.
To be honest I don't think I'll see this over two hours movie again anytime soon, but god damn it was worth to see.
Maybe I get the region 2 dvd someday when it's probably cheap like a ***k or maybe sooner, but definitely loved this.
BTW....anyone else find it bit ironic how it plays the AJ objection theme in the end when Nick talked about how their job is not to make sure that someone is found guilty, but morelike finding the truth.
Maybe it's just me but the trump card in AJ's first case...yyyyeeeeah the track was kinda like; smell you later Wright! .in this movie.
I guess that's all I have out of blue....
Again; thanks for sharing <3
