This year we will have a new premiere that promises to be an explosive ___tail of action, revenge and violence. Boy Kills World is the title of this film directed by Moritz Mohr and produced by the legendary Sam Raimi, known for his successes in the horror and action genre. The film has the stellar presence of Bill Skarsgårdwho has earned public recognition for his interpretation of the new version of the iconic Pennywise in It.

The first trailer for Boy Kills World has arrived like a flying kick, and has not left any fan of the action film genre indifferent. From the first moment, we see an explosive combination of elements taken from some of the biggest cinematic hits, from the ruthless revenge of Kill Bill to the stylized combat choreography of John Wick. But this time, the story is set in a dystopian world, remembering Battle Royale or The Hunger Games or the classic Roller Ball. A salad of good mamporros seasoned with a few drops of love of video games.

The plot revolves around Boy, a deaf and mute young man played by Skarsgårdwhose family is brutally murdered. Motivated by revenge, Boy embarks on a journey into darkness, training with a mysterious mentor to become an instrument of death animated by a sly inner voice. His quest for justice leads him to confront a corrupt organization known as Vandacoy, unleashing a wave of chaos and violence in his wake.

The cast of Boy Kills World includes names like Jessica Rothe, Michelle Dockery, Sharlto Copley and Famke Janssen, who give life to characters that are intertwined in this story of revenge and redemption. But one of the most striking surprises is the participation of H. Jon Benjaminknown for his iconic voice roles in animated series such as Bob’s Burgers and Archer, who lends his voice to Boy’s interior.

The trailer for Boy Kills World has aroused curiosity and excitement among film fans, who are waiting for the premiere of this film on April 26 to resolve their doubts. Is it really as fun as it seems? And who is that mysterious girl in the helmet that appears in the footage? Could she be who we already imagine she is?

The one generated by the premiere of the Ninja Kamui trailer has created enormous expectations among fans of the anime world. And Ninja Kamui is born from a very promising premise, one that immerses us in a world full of Futuristic ninjas, dark corporations, revenge and ultra violencefrom the hand of some of the heavyweights of Japanese animation.

An explosive mix

The plot follows Joe Higan, a former ninja seeking revenge after his family is brutally murdered by his former criminal organization. This story fuses mystical martial arts movements in the purest style of Naruto, with ideas and aesthetic elements that seem taken straight from Metal Gear Solid, along with the unbridled action of the John Wick films. An explosive mixture that at times leaves the viewer with their mouths open.

The series, directed by Sunghoo Park and produced by Adult Swim in the West, features a combination of traditional anime elements with a modern and sophisticated aesthetic. With Sunghoo Park at the helm, known for his work on Jujutsu Kaisen, the action scenes unfold at a dizzying pace across the screen, perhaps making the slower moments feel too calm. It’s passing from zero to one hundred and back to zero in just a few seconds.

One of its highlights is the impressive fight scenes, very well choreographed

And one of its highlights are the impressive fight scenes, full of fantastic moves, acrobatics and dark ninja techniques. These fights They are masterfully choreographed and the animation is fluid and dynamic. Without a doubt, the strong point of Ninja Kamui. Furthermore, the character design by Takeshi Okazakifamous for his work in Afro Samurai and Star Wars: Visionsleaves an unforgettable gallery of visually striking characters.

However, along with the spectacular nature of the combat scenes, they are also presented punctually and exaggerated doses of ultraviolence which may be unpleasant for some viewers. The question about the need for so much violence in the plot is present, questioning whether it really adds value to the story or if it becomes a merely gratuitous resource. Oh really, How many times do you have to stab the same character?

A nod to an almost unknown old classic

Ninja Kamui pays tribute to another anime classic with Kamui, the deserted ninjabased on the manga The Legend of Kamui by Sanpei Shirato. This series, premiered on Senpai TV (which has also had a recent live-action adaptation), follows the story of Kamui, who, like Joe Higan in Ninja Kamui, escapes from his clan facing dangerous enemies.

Since we have only been able to see the first two episodes of the series, it is difficult for me to make myself a clear idea about the future development of Ninja Kamui. Although these initial episodes leave me with a lot of questions about the context of the plot, also wanting to find answers in the next chapters. Ninja Kamui will be released February 11 on HBO Max.
