YesAsia Editorial Description
This version comes with English subtitles .
Zeze Takahisa's newest offering, Moon Child, may be the work that puts him on the map as a major international talent. Shot in Taiwan, the film is a sleek action thriller starring superstars Hyde, Gackt, and Leehom Wang. It is set in the near future in a fictional Asian city called Maleppa. A hotbed of crime and drugs, the city is the home to Sho (Gackt) and his gang of desperate criminal associates. Into this group comes Kei (Hyde), a pale, young vampire who has deep ties to Sho. Kei joins the group, which now also includes Son (Wang) and his younger sister Yi-che (Zeny Kwok), until a grisly event at once reaffirms the bond between Kei and Sho, but also forces Kei to once again flee Maleppa. Years pass and allegiances are switched, but the worlds of Kei and Sho are on course for one last collision...

Romancing darkness
| A movie with artistic moments of or bits of everything: action, humor, romance, brotherly bonding, insight, tragedy but not really blossoming into anything spectacular. Somewhere along the way writers block occurred because you feel a lull in everything & the story barely holds together enough to bring you to the conclusion that felt predestined in the writers' minds. The acting...not award winning but adequate. A definate must have for fans of Gackt & Hyde. I loved the fusion of Japanese & Cantonese which offered much of the humorous moments. |

Another admiring review

I have owned Moonchild for quite a while now. It is still one of my favorite movies. Just about everyone that I know has seen it now. Now, don't think that I am saying good things about this movie because I am a Gackt or Hyde fan. I actually got into the music after watching Moonchild. Before that I had played the PS2 game Bujingai and this made me curious about this Gackt fellow. Moonchild was my next step. To me, this movie has the feeling of an independent film. One that was made by a group of friends who all got together and said "Hey lets make a movie." Cheesy dialogue and overacting are definately a part of this. It isn't very polished and it really needed either more time in the middle or to have been split into two movies. That is the only complaint that I have about Moonchild. It needed more time to tell the story. One of the best things about Moonchild is not that it transcends genres, it instead seems to embrace several of them. It is a movie with a vampire in it that isn't a vampire movie. This is extremely rare. I found it refreshing. Maybe this movie isn't for everyone. However, I have been recommending to my friends for a while now. If you aren't sure, you can always rent it. That's how I saw it the first time. |

worst film ever.....
|
Ok I read the reviews on this site and a few others. All I can say is thank god I didnt spend £15 on this film!!!!!!!!!!!!!! The acting is awful for a start. I think Gackt and Hyde should just stick to singing. I lost the plot half way into the film. This film was about friendship? Erm....ok. I began to lose interest just because of the how riduculous the plot was becoming. Ok to be fair there were a few funny bits, but they were few and far between. Summary: dont waste your money!! |

I absolutely ADORE this film. However, from a more professional, 'review' perspective, I can't honestly recommend it. Umm.... what shall I say.... 1. Gackt and HYDE *can* act, I don't care what you say. Neither one of them is fantastic, but they can act. Gackt's delivery is very, very bipolar and goes back and forth between very angsty and really cheesy humor that does not come out right and falls flat and stupid. In my opinion. HYDE gets a little melodramatic and his angst can be too much, but it depends on your taste. You may think Gackt's funny and HYDE is just right. I thought HYDE was great because I myself am a bit of a drama queen and I got so sucked into the movie it didn't bother me... 2. The story is... well, granted, it's NOT original, per se. It's got kind of a pulp-y feel, to it though. I really HATE vampire stories, yet I liked this one, so if you're afraid of some psuedo-dracula-vampire-glorification film, don't worry. I think the character of Vampire is well-portrayed by HYDE- sure, he's angsty, but he's really not your typical vampire stereotype- now and then it gets to be a little.... 'wah, I'm going to live forever sucking lives while you all die, pity me, wah wah wah...' but like I said, I think that it's about the right amount of angst. A little over-the-top, but mostly warranted. 3. The pacing of the movie is its biggest flaw- it's rocky at best. It takes a lot of side trips... the action is sporadic and just cuts out in the middle. There's a scene where the camera is spinning around the room, and there's a song in English in the backround, and... in trying to portray the bonding between some of the characters, the plot really seems like it dies somewhere in the middle, and leaves you going, "WHAT JUST HAPPENED HERE???" but enjoy the light moments in the film while you can... it gets sad... SO ANYWAY, there's a lot of scenes that seem very unneccessary (and would have been surely cut in Hollywood, but I guess that's why this is a foreign film ^_^;;) and the action gets kind of slow paced, but just stick with it. If you've got a lot of time and a big enough bowl of popcorn, it shouldn't bother you. Just let your mind wander to the beauty of the two leads (well, actually, Wang Leehom is pretty fine too). 4. I liked the music. There's stuff by Wang Leehom, too, (apparently? not really sure...) as well as the infamous duet "Orenji no Taiyou" (Orange Sunlight), but to my surprise, the finished version of Orenji no Taiyou wasn't seen in the film. At least, not in my version (the US release). The soundtrack was kind of strange-techno at times, but all in all, it fits. No complaints here! So let me say that despite its flaws (really, I think HYDE is a better actor... no one kill me, please! (Not only that, I think HYDE is cuter!!! I love Gackt, but sometimes his face is too perfect-looking. And his hair? WHAT IS THAT? Really, the stylist in the movie really let herself go...) Okay, now I have to go apologize to furious Gackt-worshippers) (I LIKE HYDE'S MUSIC BETTER TOO!!!) (runs & hydes) LET ME SAY... that the movie is not perfect, but I really think it's entertaining. The end caught even me by surprise, at least a little. For all its flaws, the only problem I have with the movie is that I do think the relationship between vampire Kei (HYDE) and protege Sho (Gackt) could be much more elaborately fleshed out... but the movie's already kind of long, so... Just buy it, I think you'll like it! |

in all honesty
| THIS MOVIE IS NOT BAD!!! I MEAN TAKE THE FACT THAT IT WAS THOSE GUYS 1ST TIME ACTING. THEY DID WELL. I LOVE THE FIGHT SCENES AND THEY WAY ALL THE ACTORS MADE IT SEEM AS IF THEY KNEW EACH OTHER WELL. PEOPLE PROBABLY DON'T LIKE THIS MOVIE BECAUSE IT'S SAD. I DON'T CRY IN MOVIES, BUT I FELT LIKE I WOULD. IT MAKES YOU FEEL EMOTION. SO, WITH THAT AND THE FIGHT SCENES, I AM TELLING YOU IT'S A GOOD MOVIE TO GET. |
