Zebraman 2004
So much better than it should be! There’s a a lot of different things going on here but it all kind of works perfectly. Vigilante action comedy, alien invasion of the body snatchers thriller, detective mystery, family drama, it’s packed to the rafters & always an absolute blast!

The moment the credits started rolling some guy sat behind me loudly said “Thank fuck that’s over! Worst film of the year”.
Well I respectfully disagree!
I thought it was one of the most captivatingly shot and viscerally executed revenge sagas I’ve seen in…
