"Legend has it that gentlemen always appear when the forces of evil try to take over the world. In a distant time there was a group of young people protected Athena, the goddess of war. They were called "The Knights of Athena" and always fought without weapons. It is said that a backhanded were capable of tearing the sky and a single kick opened cracks in the earth. " was how many of us came to one of the most iconic anime series and popular history back in the late 80s and to this day continues to enjoy great popularity. So when it was announced in late 2013 the final name of the new 3D movie Masami Kurumada manga, thousands of fans were thrilled at the announcement.

The action sequences were made to feel for a moment that we were in the presence of a Hollywood production that appeals only to explosions, fighting style similar to Iron Man or, for the purposes of light, phantom camera, etc. Also, we got a quick plot, which is seen to be too hasty to summarize the 70 chapters comprising the original series. The plot feels too rushed to tell things in the shortest possible time, taking with her plight something that certainly could be epic. Young gentlemen do not know what to do there except to protect a girl for the sake of doing it. Without asking or questioning anything, sacrifice their lives without this the least common sense. This is because the film forgot to do a more thorough introduction to the characters, something that is vital for future generations who may have had contact with the original series. For this, and forgetting that the film is based on a manga, as self-contained story also left much to be desired.

As viewers we never got that connection with the main characters, that which we identified with them in some way in the original series, which created a bond that made us feel something that even today we do not have the words to describe. Yes, it may sound corny but it's true. As a film, Saint Seiya: Legend of Sanctuary also offers us that feeling. Introducing the Golden Knights is extremely sad. Stunning and powerful saints to which we are accustomed are precipitated and ridiculed, wasted. Changes like leaving Milo in the body of a woman, a bloody and violent as Knight Deathmask become a character who starred in the Disney musical style, or kill Aphrodite seconds of their appearance without any valid reason makes the film look like a strange experiment with ingredients that do not fit within the universe of Saint Seiya, although clearly the film is a reboot .
Saint Seiya: The Legend of the Sanctuary would succeed imitating patterns of international current market, but did not turn out quite right. The soundtrack was brief, and not as amazing as it could have been considering the impeccable work of Seiji Yokoyama inserts with the original series. Among the good points that can be highlighted, is the Latin dubbing, which remains outstanding and even though their voices do not sound like 20 years ago. For me, this is a movie that smells like disappointment whether or not based on something that we all know. It's the same story we see on every popcorn movie, and despite the original intention shown in the changes that were included in the end is nothing new under the sun.
