This disastrous adaptation of one of the most beloved series of the 80s was a box office failure. But he’s sweeping in Netflix

He caught the attention at the time for two very different issues: on the one hand, it is the adaptation, hopeful, of one of the most legendary anime of the eighties, one that, in Spain, in addition, ignited the fondness of Japanese animation as significantly as his contemporaries ‘Dragon Ball’ or ‘Champions’. On the other, it was notorious for his Capital failure: only seven million dollars at the box officea completely improper collection for an adaptation of such a known series. We talk, of course, ‘The Knights of Zodiac’based on the legendary manga of Masami Kurumada and its running anime version, and now it is Available in Netflix. Interestingly, and although the number 1 in films is occupied by the (either very brilliant) ”Electric status‘, has reached a surprising number 2. Once again, films that are shipwrecked in cinemas find their space on the platforms of streamingwhere spectators find it easier to take a risk in search of content. In this new version we will meet Seiya, a teenage conflicting who makes a living fighting for money while looking for her kidnapped sister. When In one of his fights, mystical powers are revealed that he did not know, The young man discovers a world of saints at war, magical training and a reincarnated goddess who asks for her protection. It has a reserved place within the Knights of the Zodiac. The quality of the film was compared at the time with the disastrous adaptation in real image of ‘Dragon Ball’, although ‘The Knights of Zodiac’ is, perhaps, a step above. The sympathetic presence of a couple of stars in low hours (Famke Janssen and Mark Dacascos) and some, despite everything, overwhelming combat choreographies, make the disturbing disturbing in times: between horrendous digital effects and sub -sub -branches of a devastating ramp, a completely unworthy film of the epic touch and the adorable ingenuity of the original mangain.
