I just got finished watching Golgo 13: Queen Bee and I'm pretty let down. It's a fun movie with some great scenes but it is no where near as good as it's amazing predecessor. I feel like it could have had a lot more and I waited for it to get better but it never seemed to get to the level it could have.There is some great gore and the story is interesting enough to keep the viewer watching but it doesn't do much else. I think my biggest problem was that the story barely focused on Golgo 13 at all. It seems a bit silly to me because it's named after the guy. Instead, it focuses a lot more on the Queen Bee's character. But other than those cons, it has some really fun action sequences that fans of the first film will be pleased with. See it if you liked The Professional but don't expect a movie that is equal.
Not half the film of the original. The storyline seemed to be dumbed down, the animation not as clean. Stylish but no substance. I won't even bother getting into how this film is only slightly above tentacle pr0n as far as being degrading to women....
i can't help thinking there are plenty of japanese anime films that get made just so a bunch of animators can sit in a room and draw boobs all day long. I rented this because I loved the video game counterpart on NES 8-bit. I never knew there was a cartoon or even another plot to go along with it. But this film makes Duke Togo out to be some superhero stud James Bond wannabee while the quiet, daring, supercool mofo that I grew to love in the Top Secret Agent video game was nowhere to be seen. There were some neat things but nothing to really keep me awake while watching it at 3 a.m..
Golgo 13: The Professional was one of my favorite anime movies, so naturally when I saw Queen Bee, I had to check it out. This movie more than lives up to its predecessor. The plot is twice as complex and it's characters twice as interesting. What's better is that all the characters are realistic. There are no immortal psychos like Snake, or Silver and Gold. This movie could just as easily been made with live action. But while watching this movie you'll forget that it wasn't. If you liked the Professional, check this one out!
