Watch Big Man Japan For Free

This story has more twists and turns than a second-rate soap opera.

At first rather annoying in its heavy emphasis on reenactments, this movie ultimately proves fascinating, simply because the complicated, highly dramatic tale it tells still almost defies belief.

This is a small, humorous movie in some ways, but it has a huge heart. What a nice experience.

This is a coming of age storyline that you've seen in one form or another for decades. It takes a truly unique voice to make yet another one worth watching.

Wow this movie sucked big time, it was just a waste of time. I don't get the humor in this and I get Japanese humor but this wasn't funny at all and boring. The movie is about some homeless looking guy, turning into this giant guy with a diaper going around with a stick in had in order to fight monster and if he ain't fighting monster he is doing these boring interviews, than rinse and repeat. I don't know if the director wanted to be artsy or make this into a cult movie but it fails. It seems the director relied too heavily on being awkward with it's weird dialogue and monsters. Just avoid this, and who ever finds this film funny or comical is either a weeaboo or trying way too hard.3/10

The animation/CGI in this movie is F-R-E-S-H. It is fun to watch for both children and adults. The monsters are creative and enjoyable. The real-time pacing of the opening is funny and droll in a unique way. The main character Sato grows on you over time as the plot unfolds. His day to day tribulations and alienation make you laugh. Especially when he gets to spend his "monthly" meeting with his 7 yr old daughter, and then her mother prevails on the crew to have her face pixelated(!) our sense of empathy for Sato's shame and ignominy peak.OVerall a cool flick. Must See. "Eee Desu Ne!"P.S. If you "sleep" on it, the gentle bewildering MYSTERY of this movie eventually becomes clear. Who could've guessed this movie predicted the outcome of the next General election in Japan, when the long standing LDP lost? I invite viewers to think why!Hint1: "The Fourth" can be take to be a proxy for Japan's glory days Emperor period. Hint2: Sato is a symbol of... Hint3: "Justice Family" are dressed in red white and ....; Sato must become a defacto 5th member of their "family" which is yet another adaptive stress/ignominy in the arc of his life...any Clearer? ......exactly! (You reach a OMG moment.) LOL. top notch.

BIG MAN JAPAN is a very clever spoof on 'The Super Hero Genre'. Depressed and middle-aged Daisato plugs along as a second-rate protector of Japan. The film depicts an altered reality in which cartoon monsters sporadically appear to create mischief and mayhem. The Big Man does what he can, but ends up causing as much confusion and destruction as he prevents. Plagued by waning popularity, the erosion of his powers, and family problems, he stoically soldiers on. As a documentary, the film succeeds admirably. We see this man robbed of his destiny, and watch as he explains his half-hearted efforts to regain some sort of balance between what he was, and what he has become. However, the film's special effects are cheesy, but actually add to the representation of a man stuck firmly in a meager existence. Daisato's life is entirely devoid of any social support network. He visits a grandfather, but this man is suffering from dementia in a nursing home, and is in worse shape than our hero. Daisato is allowed visitation with his wife and daughter twice a year, and his 'friendships' are paid geisha girls with whom he drinks heavily. Although a comedy, BIG MAN JAPAN, is not as funny as it is poignant, and this fact makes it a cut above.

Big Man Japan is a film unlike no other. An homage to monster movies, a swift mockumentary, and a biting satire. The battle scene with the "Stink Monster" is hilarious, but all the other monsters just weren't funny, but borderline disturbing.I'm not giving a synopsis anymore with my reviews because that's just boring and you can find out for yourself. But, here's my opinion: this movie is so weird that it gets uncomfortable after a while. At first it was refreshing and awesome, but then, all of a sudden, it got slightly boring and just too weird.Like I said, the best part of the movie is the fight scene with the Stink Monster and the bizarre ending which has a subtle, but important message within it. I didn't exactly "love" the ending like many people do, but it's still a good ending (and an unexpected one).Definitely not for all tastes.
