Review of I Am a Hero

I Am a Hero (2015)
5/10
A subpar movie about a subnormal middle-aged man and the lack of his manhood
22 August 2021
It's a movie about this narcissistic, mentally challenged, middle aged loser who is supposed to be a 'normal man', but is actually a thoroughly off putting fool with serious mental issues. The movie is supposed to be a parallel of the crisis Japanese men are going through, I guess and their emasculation... but it turns out there is no worse medium to discuss any issues in their society than the zombie apocalypse... the only thing I guess this film explained to me is why are children, more precisely, high-school girls so sexualized in Japan... because it seems that Japanese men can't handle a woman who is presented as an money grabbing being...

The movie and the story are shallow, filled with tropes which makes them boring... 'Japanese zombies', no... story wise, there is no true originality here, however, the visual design is pretty interesting...

Other reviews giving this film an 8 or 9 and how this is a 'gem'' are truly worrying me... sure, some parts of an opinion are personal and so on, but this movie is pretty bad...
