![]() This does of course extend to the aforementioned nudity that peppers certain scenes. Boundless care and attention runs throughout and there is barely a scrappy, half-hearted frame in the entire ninety minute run time. All of the money from whomever bankrolled Bloody Fate is up there on the screen though - stained glass windows, strands of hair, the soft glow of a sunset through to the flaming death of a newly born god. Where the money came for such lavish detail is anyone’s guess because even though the game was a critical wunderkind it was a commercial failure, and director Hideki Kamiya has gone on record to say that without Nintendo (who have an exclusive in Bayonetta 2 for the Wii U) another game wouldn’t have happened. There really is nothing quite like watching two lithe silhouettes shoot and cartwheel in front of a gorgeous paper moon. The sumptuous backgrounds and locations are lifted straight from the game, sometimes down to the same camera angle, but always favour the awe inspiring rather than the mundane. BAYONETTA MOVIE MOVIEProduced by Madhouse the characters share a similarity to the studio’s 2000 movie Vampire Hunter D: Bloodlust with impossible proportions and pin-sharp rendering. The rampant silliness on display - twin bazookas while riding a dragon? sure why not - is in a way refreshing but like the 1998 film Spriggan, it’s all dazzle and no substance at least none you would care to muse overlong upon. For fans of the game then you’re left with a simple truth: just because it’s canon doesn’t mean it’s any good. Despite all of my time spent on the game though, many revelations in the movie I assumed were for the benefit of an unsuspecting audience are, in fact, canon. There’s the pain point though: the game had perhaps one of the finest fighting systems ever conceived to fall back on, the story was just a rather long-winded vehicle for what you’d be shooting, stabbing or gyrating in front of next. That’s the set up, the execution involves a motorcycle chase, a chainsaw three times longer than Bayonetta is tall and a whole lot of incongruous, barely censored nudity. Having been awoken from a centuries long slumber without any knowledge of her life before her torpor, she is strangely drawn to the reclusive leader of a religious order while being pursued by the tenacious journalist Luka. The titular Bayonetta is a witch with guns strapped to her high-heels and clothing made out of her own hair who fights against masked angels. The former two of those points are where the meat of a debate is, the latter though will undoubtedly be the biggest issue for newcomers. Her favorite types of games are RPGs/JRPGs with a terrible guilty pleasure for rhythm games.How about a muscly tattooed guy in shades playing the organ?!
