Skip it. This live-action Saint Seiya adaptation reeks of the kind of soulless anime-to-film conversion that trades charm for CGI spectacle and hollow destiny speeches. Without critical validation and armed with a generic plot about orphans discovering hidden powers, you're better off rewatching the anime or literally any other fantasy-action film tonight.

Plot

When a headstrong street orphan, Seiya, in search of his abducted sister unwittingly taps into hidden powers, he discovers he might be the only person alive who can protect a reincarnated goddess, sent to watch over humanity. Can he let his past go and embrace his destiny to become a Knight of the Zodiac?
