Versus

[meganbmoore]

So, after posting the poll earlier, I remembered that I was thinking about watching Versus, as I got an extremely high level of enjoyment out of Death Trance.  

Now, the plot may have been largely irrelevant in Death Trance, but it was pretty easy to follow, both while watching an in descriptions. Coffin with massive power inside is stolen from a temple by a guy who really likes to kill things.  Temple sends young monk off to get coffin back.  Many other men who like to kill things hear someone has the coffin and also set off to get the coffin.  Many fights involving every weapon imaginable follow.  Not high quality cinema, but easy to follow, a good distraction, and some very good(and often entertaining...hello Gun Guy) fight scenes.

But Versus?  I was completely lost one sentence into the description and it only got worse from there.  It was like a lot of random ideas were thrown into a paragraph and no one cared if it made sense or not.  I checked several places and was lost every time.

I don't mind irrelevant plot(though I prefer a good plot) or midless violence as long as it's entertaining(and not endless) but I at least need a plot I can follow, no matter how paper thing it may be.

Well, the "plot" (inexistent as it may be) is incredibly simple. If you've ever seen The Wanderer (http://whom.co.uk/whom/wanderer.htm), the plots are incredibly similar. It starts from Story point A and ends at Story point B, with "W", "T", and "F" in between.


Oh, are you getting the Director's Cut or Ultimate?

I require a fair bit of convincing before getting either. No idea what "The Wanderer" is.

...well, beyond the paper-thin plot, that's all I really got.

...wait, I do have something. Why not just watch the damn thing here (http://www.veoh.com/videos/v884521QfJaANpD?searchId=2931267386460421334&rank=5)? =P

(It's not the ultimate version, though)
