I'd say that this is the best known live-action based on the work of Go Nagai since the film was released in DVD in several parts of the world. While I do not dislike it and in fact I enjoy it, I believe it is not quite as good as the Re: Cutie Honey which was released a few months after it. It is somehow disappointing that Sister Jill is characterized by a man. I personally prefer the TV series and Mike Hara as Honey, but this is still a good Cutie Honey film.

I still don't own this yet. Good movie though.
