4 out of 5 stars THIS IS NOT ANIME.......2004-11-11

This is LIVE action with CGI monsters, so don't expect it to be anime. Like stated elsewhere, there's really no 'good guy' in this three episode flick, just varying degrees of 'bad' and 'badder'. The plot is simple enough but has just enough twisted action for sci-fi fanatics to have a bit of fun distraction. Don't get me wrong; I 'rented' this after reading the reviews, and am looking forward to renting the next episodes - if they're put on DVD.

1 out of 5 stars its just terrible.......2002-03-11

im not even gonna waste my time with a full review its just terrible.please dont waste your money

2 out of 5 stars Ouch - very ouch..........2001-08-22

I tell you what folks - I love Godzilla and Specterman as much as the next guy, but this is just brutal. There's no real good guy, everyone is just varying degrees of evil. We have the battlesuit pilot; a drunken, chilly and abusive bastard. The mechanic, who's not a bad guy, but is constantly being wailed on by the aforementioned pilot. And of course, the monsters - an alien substance causes normal people to mutate into odd creatures, including a 50-foot chicken. Yes, he said CHICKEN! With no really likeable characters, and special effects that would make the crew of Dr. Who groan, this was mostly a waste of time and money.

Dark Soldier D is a new breed of Japanese monster movie. It has a totally different style from ordinary Japanese monster movies such as "Godzilla" or "Gamera." A maniac soldier in combat suite VS 50 feet space monsters! This is wired, but interesting attempt. I was really entertained. In the movie, 3 different monsters show up in each 3 episodes. A poor businessman transforms into green gigantic reptile creature in episode1. In episode2, combat suite fights against giant chicken monster. It was very funny image, but why chicken? In episode3, the evil space power possesses onto another combat suit, and it creates a bio-mechanical monster. I enjoyed a variety of monsters. Somehow it reminds me old dynamation creatures which created by Ray Harryhausen. This is dark, but still funny movie. I can't wait to see next episode.

From the darkest reaches of space comes an evil powerful enough to destroy all of mankind. Now, armed with a state-of-the-art military combat suit, a lone vigilante must wield its destructive firepower if humanity is to survive. Easier said than done. The vigilante Kawamata must choose between innocence and survival. His actions will determine the planet's fate: war... or destruction. Dark Soldier D is a chilling sci-fi thriller, but some people who are not familiar with this genre may not enjoy it as much enthusiastic anime sci-fi fans. Dark Soldier D: Hunting Season has begun.
