Legend of Lemnear
Episodes Reviewed: N/A
Overall Grade: C-
Storyline: 4
Okay, so here's the gist of things... there's an evil sorcerer who is looking for the Champion of Silver. He finds the Champion of Bronze instead and holds him captive. Fast-forward past the lyric-less intro and we are introduced to Lemnear, a beautiful warrior who just entered a town that's been taken over by this evil guy. Also she's trying to avenge the deaths of her parents. She gets knocked out from the evil guy's magic attack and sent into a dungeon where she learns of a sage that has been waiting for her. The sage gives her a necklace (or whatever it is) and displays a light that proves she is the Champion of Silver.
Sounds cool, huh?
From there on the story progresses way too quick with much of the events being unnecessary.
Type: Action
Action, fighting, vats of blood.
Ch. Development: N/A
Other than the lame prospect of learning about being a 'chosen one,' nothing.
Sexuality: 8
None of the sexuality here was necessary, with none of it having anything to do with anything, but there's plenty of toplessness and fondling regardless.
Romance: 0
There is no romance at all, amazingly. The main guy character, and the main character Lemnear are brother and sister (if my memory serves me correctly), so no romance.
Drama: 5
Some kickass fight scenes, but that's all. All of the serious stuff is so lame and predictable it loses all impact.
Action: 7
Plenty of fighting and blood. What d'ya expect?
Comedy: 2
One of the villains is so obsessed with his harem that it's funny.Barely anything else after that.
Dub not seen
The story is weak and progresses really fast. Its main saving point is the fact that the action is really great. Too bad there are a total of four notable fighting sequences in this 45-minute movie. The rest of the stuff is fanservice, nudity, and the talking required to progress through the movie. That and predictable revelations. Strangely, the movie sounds like it ought to be a short series, and that sure would have saved it, but no, it has to be a frickin' 45-minute movie. It's really shallow, but lots of people like shallow, so it don't get no D. If you like short sequences of violence and a whole lot of fondling, try renting this one.
That's my Story and I'm Sticking to it!
