If you haven't read the plot of the manga, there are still many places that are inexplicable. Why do bad guys look like vampires? Why is Nicolas Cage's ability given to him by the Demon King, but it seems to be stronger than the Demon King?
The special effects of the film are completely useless to the point. Why set up a bunch of cops and helicopters when they don't show up at all in the second half? Who can tell me what exactly that helicopter lens is for (other than wasting money)? Why let the motorcycle float on the water? In fact, the entire motorcycle seems useless from start to finish. Anything he can do, he can do in a Mercedes-Benz, or he can do on a bicycle or simply walk.
But none of this matters. The highlight of the film is Cage's performance. A little silly, a little embarrassed superhero. He was ashamed to tell his true identity to his girlfriend, preferring to avoid him. After all, not every girl wants to be with a murderous skull. The sequel has a prettier heroine, more exciting 3D action, and an actor who plays Stringer Bell in The Wire.
