This movie is a hilarious, adventure filled bit of silliness. When you're not watching it for the 'plot' or the interaction between the characters, you're laughing your butt off at the tin foil and glitter costumes, Broadway musical face make-up, and amazingly cheesy special effects. The fight scenes aren't the worst I've ever seen, but I kept being distracted by the main character's(Shinbei) Farrah Fawcett locks. His hair is the height of early 80's awful.
The cardboard and plastic armor sported by the soldiers in the film is a riot. The sets and fx aren't as bad as any Godzilla film, thankfully. And the story becomes engrossing, despite the lame costuming and ridiculous hair-dos. This is a good bit of fluff, well worth a watch once in a while.
