Yatterman
Certified Crap. CrapScore 66, rated by 1 admin.
Higher CrapScores mean more entertainingly bad. How we score movies.
Toy-shop owners become superheroes and fight a flamboyant gang with help from a giant robot dog. Takashi Miike adapts the cartoon as a candy-coloured barrage of poses, machines and knowingly silly conflict. A busy fantasy spectacle for viewers receptive to live-action anime logic.
