It doesn't help that he as protagonist has so little range, but without wanting to compete or talk for that matter, Kazeo is surprisingly dragged by others. Even the main character, Kazeo, isn't fully developed. You have the Suzuran boys, the rival school, yakuza and the other side characters, each with their own back stories and all tied up in convoluted struggles. With about four plots running at the same time, each with intertwined relationships, the story is hectic and muddled. There are simply too many characters presented in short amount of time. Whereas it's easy to care for Genji and his rag tag friends, the short focus makes it hard to invest to any of Explode's characters. The worst mistake is how it churns so many subplots that none are actually fleshed out.
It doesn't have the same flair of comical wit, brash vicious scuffle or even the pristine visual. I was rather taken back of how different Explode was to its first two predecessors.

This is definitely for a fans of the manga, but for anyone looking for an entertaining movie that is driven by a story, stay well clear of this one. I am sure that people in the movie were good enough fighters in each their own way, but it just didn't appeal to me in any way. I can't even comment on the acting in the movie, because there was literally no acting in it to base such a comment on. I just threw in the towel after 1 hour and I am not going to return to finish this movie, and I am not going to take the time to watch any of the other movies, because the torment of watching this for one hour was more than enough. And that fact was something that the movie suffered from tremendously. There was no storyline to "Crows: Explode" (aka "Kurôzu Explode"), none whatsoever. But I decided to stick with it, as I would assume that the movie would pick up and add some story-telling to the layers. It was nothing else except fighting, and that wore thin already within the first half hour.
I managed to last one hour into this movie before I gave up out of sheer and utter pointlessness to the movie. But with that being said, I should also move straight on to saying that this movie was essentially nothing else than just one pointless fight scene after another. So it is solely based on seeing the movie alone that I can review this 2014 movie.įirst and foremost, I must say that the fight scenes in the movie were plenty and often quite good. Not being familiar with the manga upon which this movie franchise is based, I have nothing to compare it to. Reviewed by paul_haakonsen 3 / 10 Fighting, fighting, and then some more fighting.
