The
forces threatening peace have been quelled and the
future is finally looking bright as the pieces of the
enemies weapons of war burn in the atmosphere and light
up the sky as shooting stars. All the Gundam
pilots embrace the new age of peace by sending their
giant robots to be destroyed...well, almost all of
them. Soon enough, a new threat is born out of the
ashes of the defeated enemy and the Gundam pilots must
once again take up arms. The Endless Waltz of war
continues.
Well,
I can't tell you how excited I was to see that they made
a movie of Gundam Wing which was one of my favorite
anime series at the time. I had seen the great new
Gundam designs in the models I put together and couldn't
wait to see how the pilots would get those new robots
and how the story would unfold. Man, was I let
down. Right off the bat, this movie ticked me off
by introducing the new robots as if they already existed
in the series. I guess the filmmakers figured that
the upgraded second series designs for the Gundams in
the series weren't different enough. Don't get me
wrong, I was happy to see the new robots, I was just
hoping to see some explanation of where they came
from. Instead, they simply rewrote the history of
the series...never a good idea.
Add
to that the fact that the bad guys were headed up by a
little girl. Five tough guys in giant robots
versus a little girl's army. C'mon man. What
the heck were they thinking? I waited through way
too much time until the Gundam pilots finally got to
their robots and made paste out of the enemy. Was
that a spoiler? Well, not really. Sorry
though.
All
in all, Endless Waltz was a massive
disappointment. There were good things about it,
but it just wasn't up to snuff. I almost wish it
didn't happen so that I could remember the original
ending more clearly. I thought the original was a good
enough note to leave on anyway.
