Poisoned. Having never understood the meaning of more movies, I have already watched this film five times (UPD: Seven movies reached in theaters), and I plan to watch it again when I have money and spare time before the release. The flaws in the plot are nothing to fans of the original book, and the changes to its settings are relatively small. On the contrary, the high degree of restoration of the events and scenes in the comics in the film is what makes the fans of the original work most excited. The plot of the movie basically corresponds to the OVA more than 20 years ago, but a lot of complicated settings and events have been added, which are both directly introduced from the comics and adapted from the movie itself. In contrast, OVA is much simpler, no Berserker, no URM, no Nova, etc. I think that if the movie was completely made into an OVA, its reputation among ordinary audiences might be much better. After all, these parts that are mentioned but not discussed in depth are the most likely to be spit out by people. However, the movie was not made like that, but instead introduced so many pits thankfully, why bother? Obviously, this is because the positioning of the film is different from the OVA. What OVA wants to show is an independent and self-consistent story, and it does not lay the groundwork for possible subsequent stories. And these settings of the movie are in preparation for the sequel (Cameron also hinted that they are planning a sequel). The problem is that viewers who are unfamiliar with the original might not expect to see a movie with no ending and many places that are not explained clearly. In other words, if the reputation of the film is not good enough and the box office is not high enough, the problem lies in the conflict between the ambitions of the producers and screenwriters and the expectations of the audience. On the other hand, for fans of the original work, such ambition is what they most want to see.
