Dannyboy-the-Dane Posted November 8, 2011 Share Posted November 8, 2011 Pretty much what I expected, though it actually looks better than I had hoped! I love the inclusion of the holographic screens! So unnecessary, but practical, and it helps cement that we're a few years into the future. Also, I spot the Blue Badger! The plot is obviously the first game (even including the Steel Samurai case, it seems), but it would seem that Mia's death has been moved to during the last case, which does make sense in context.

EddieColeslaw Posted December 31, 2011 Share Posted December 31, 2011 Trailers! The judge isn't fat enough to pull off that beard. Also, Hiroki Narimiya I can't take him seriously with that hair! It looks entertaining, and probably will be. I hope they play that kind of music throughout the movie! At the very least, it will be fun to see real person versions of the characters in the game Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sméagol Posted December 31, 2011 Share Posted December 31, 2011 This will be shown at the IFFR here end of January, so I’ll be seeing it then. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sméagol Posted January 29, 2012 Share Posted January 29, 2012 And I did see it. In a packed theatre. Well, what can I say.. It’s simply fan service galore with just one thing missing. You’ll have to accept films and games are two different mediums, and that an adaptation is going to be different, but Miike Takashi sure did almost everything to please the fans. Almost. I’m wondering how people who aren’t fans of the games, view the film, I expect it to be much less hilarious, and just simply absurd. I thoroughly enjoyed it, there was lots of humour, and plenty drama in the film, just like the games, and like I said, plenty of fan-service, plenty of little references that only the fans will notice / find funny. You can see other characters from other turnabouts as cameos in the audience for example. Some critique would be, that the pacing slows down towards the end. My biggest gripe however is the lack of music from the game. There are a few nods to it, the Steel Samurai theme is heard, but I miss the courtroom music most of all. Despite the lack of music, I’d recommend every Phoenix Wright fan to go see it. Plenty of fans during this particular screening, there were lots of cheers, especially during appearances of a certain character! Apart from the film, there was a dumb interview with Miike Takashi before the screening (“violance this, violence that.. Bla bla bla..â€). It’s too bad, becauser I initially intended to go to another screening, which was also the world premiere apparently, and which had an Q&A afterwards (and was in a better theatre too). Should have been better, but oh well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dannyboy-the-Dane Posted January 29, 2012 Share Posted January 29, 2012 Sounds great! It's truly sad about the lack of game music, but I never really did expect them to include much (if any) of it since watching the trailers. Out of interest, how was the music?

Sméagol Posted January 29, 2012 Share Posted January 29, 2012 Typical epic film stuff. Orchestral. The music wasn’t exactly the most memorable part of the film, apart from the 2 things I did recognise. Though I must say it’s been a long time since I’ve played the games, so maybe I missed a few. But the finale was mostly silent for example, while it needed a good dose of Audio A real missed opportunity. But like I said, despite that, go see it and have a good time.

Emerald Emblem Posted January 29, 2012 Share Posted January 29, 2012 That's a shame about a lack of game music. Listening to the sound clip you posted, the finale must have lacked a feel of epicness. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dannyboy-the-Dane Posted January 29, 2012 Share Posted January 29, 2012 That does make me somewhat a sad panda. But it probably won't prevent me from loving the movie. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jonnas Posted January 29, 2012 Share Posted January 29, 2012 Well, I wasn't really expecting game music, though it would've been nice. Still, glad to hear the final result is pretty good. Between this and the announcement of AA5, this was a good day for Ace Attorney-related news Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dannyboy-the-Dane Posted January 29, 2012 Share Posted January 29, 2012 Between this and the announcement of AA5, this was a good day for Ace Attorney-related news WHAT?!?! How have I missed this?! They better release this in the west! Along with Investigations 2 and an apology for their momentary insanity. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jonnas Posted January 29, 2012 Share Posted January 29, 2012 WHAT?!?! How have I missed this?! They better release this in the west! Along with Investigations 2 and an apology for their momentary insanity. I knew there was something wrong when I didn't see a comment from you There's a thread at the Handheld forums, and now I also see a news article in the main page. We don't know anything about the game yet, but I do hope Layton vs Wright can convince Capcom to bring it here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dannyboy-the-Dane Posted January 29, 2012 Share Posted January 29, 2012 Yeah, I never really go into the gaming boards. I don't have much to discuss in there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sméagol Posted January 30, 2012 Share Posted January 30, 2012 You do now . For those interested, the boring interview with Miike Takashi (although they barely even mention Ace Attorney, so it’s largely irrelevant). Skip to 2:05, or click the link below to go there directly. http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_detailpage&v=bNNq-o8gckQ#t=125s Maybe someone recorded the Q& A from the night before :p.
