DEVILMAN MANGA ENGLISH TV
It looks like a cheap TV drama, until the cg graphics come and rule. For me the worst is the picture quality, produced by the cameras and film used in this movie.

Somebody complained about the actors, I can only say that there are sure better ones but they are actors and they do their job not so bad.
DEVILMAN MANGA ENGLISH MOVIE
I don't know the original comics(mangas), but I know this movie is great, and you won't find a US production being so hard, showing the worst side of humans. If I just focus an violence and fight scenes, than the anime is better, but story and co. I like it more than the the 2 anime movies released here. I personally think that this version of devilman is the best. The story changed a lot, but this is not making the movie bad, and if you read the booklet you know that go nagai does this retelling with changing elements of his story already for years. the cg graphics are totally up to date, I saw much worse in spiderman the movie, or blade 2, for example. You can see that the fights were reduced radically in terms of length compared to the anime, which sure was a money problem, to expensive effects.

There are no real big logic mistakes like in US movies. OK the Japanese movie makers somehow still don't get it and use the wrong camera and film equipment, which turns the movie in TV production optics, but beside this Japanese brain problem, the movie is much better then 95% of all US Movies. And look at that, it is not bad, no it is pretty good. but I risked my money 25euro, and watched it. I really thought about returning the movie before breaking the seal of the DVD. Before I watched it I checked the ratings here in the IMDb, and started to panic after reading some very negative comments and saw the 3.8 rating. I bought the movie without knowing anything but the anime movies.
