Cutie Honey
Much like the Powerpuff Girls in later years, Cutie Honey is the cheerful creation of a scientist father, a simple hero whose main motivations are to fight baddies and enjoy life. She looks good doing it, in a bright pink wig and skimpy costume that will make fanboys swoon. The villains are a ridiculous bunch straight out of Power Rangers land, wielding Wolverine-like claws and breaking into song in the heat of battle. The fight choreography and special effects are appropriately cartoony, mixing CGI and anime styles willy-nilly. The campy, comedic action and funky vibe reminded me of Charlie’s Angels: Full Throttle. Pure bubblegum cinema, a sugar-coated romp where love saves the day.
