Today (May 12), the live-action movie "Saint Seiya" was released in North America. Foreign media IGN reviewed it and gave it a score of 4. IGN believes that the movie is mediocre and the visual effects are lackluster.

IGN Rating: 4 points poor

The live-action Saint Seiya movie's visuals were lackluster, its storytelling was clumsy, and it failed to excite the audience enough to satisfy their expectations for future sequels.

IGN's overall review:

The visuals of the Saint Seiya live-action film are lackluster, and it discourages audiences from looking forward to future sequels. The film's attempt to draw newcomers into Masami Kurumada's fantasy world is not particularly successful because it doesn't echo the anime creator's vision. Director Thomas Baggins fell victim to anime adaptations that were more concerned with future titles than a successful start. Kurumada's vivid material is condensed into something bland and slightly noisy.
