DVD Reviews of Cutie Honey
DVD Review: Rice Balls and Honey
Summary: 3 Stars
Although the director Anno Hideaki is best known for the work he has done for the animated series Neon Genesis Evangelion, and before that Nadia: The Secret of Blue Water, he has also directed a few live action films including the Murakami Ryu short story based Love and Pop (1998) and Ritual (2000), which was written by and stars Steven Seagal's daughter Fujitani Ayako. Both of these films, although they both have their rough spots, are well done and they display Anno's keen camerawork and his use of angles that are rarely seen in other directors' films. Therefore, when I heard that Anno was directing a live action film based on Nagai Go's manga/anime series Cutie Honey, I was not so much pleased as disappointed because I thought the director was backtracking instead of moving forward with his fascinating, experimental film style.
Cutie Honey follows the life of Kisaragi Honey, a young woman whose naïve, childlike personality and high energy makes her more annoying than attractive to those around her, albeit her figure, ample chest, and penchant for running around in little more than her bra and panties does draw a bit of attention. Earning a living as an office girl, Honey also is a super heroine able to morph her appearance into whatever she desires with choices such as a nurse or a police woman being her favorites. One day, Cutie Honey encounters a nefarious group of villains called Panther Claw led by a bizarre being called Golden Claw who has kidnapped her beloved uncle, Professor Utsugi, who had aided her father in giving Cutie Honey her powers. After an amazing fight, Cutey Honey defeats Golden Claw, but, unfortunately, her uncle is still kidnapped. However, Honey meets two friends who will aid her in her search for her uncle, the ultra-serious NSA agent Aki Natsuko and the cool reporter Hayami Seiji. Will Cutie Honey be able to save her uncle from the baddies, and will she be able to eat enough rice balls so she does not have to run outside in her undies?
Cutie Honey is nothing more than an animated action film performed by human beings, meaning that its action is ludicrous and that its storyline is puerile and vapid. However, for what it lacks in content, it attempts to make up in fun, and that is what Cutie Honey is, an empty, fun-filled film that can probably be only tolerated once. Also, although the cartoon version of Cutey Honey features quite a bit of nudity and Cutey Honey's actress is a famed bikini model with admirable "assets" there is no nudity in the film, so this filmic version of Cutie Honey can be enjoyed by the entire family.
