Because I could not stop for Death, he kindly stopped for me; the carriage held but just ourselves and immortality” – Emily Dickinson
If Death took a holiday, the guns would go silent in Iraq, the slaughter on our nation’s highways would cease, and the news media would be compelled to cover positive events in the humanities, arts, and sciences. Unfortunately, Death has not had a vacation in recorded history, but Mitchell Leisen’s 1934 fantasy, Death Takes a Holiday, allows us to consider the possibility. Co-written by Maxwell Anderson and Gladys Lehman and based on the play "La Morte in Vacanza" by Alberto Casella, Death Takes a Holiday stars Frederic March as the Grim Reaper who takes on human form in an attempt to discover why men fear him so much. Why he has waited 5,000 years to satisfy this curiosity is not explained.
[Spoiler] After a brief tryout as a shadowy figure who scares the daylights out of those that cross his path, Death shows up at, of all places, an upscale party at an Italian villa, posing as the mysterious Prince Sirki. Only one person knows who he really is, the host Duke Lambert (Guy Standing), and he is sworn to secrecy. Sirki proceeds to fascinate the guests. Given to bursts of wit and poetry, he can just as quickly turn sullen and threatening, and some soon find out that it is better not to look too deeply into his eyes. During the three days in which the Prince is at the villa, however, people all over the world miraculously escape death and potential suicides are doomed to frustration.
To see what’s behind all the conversation about love, the suave but naïve Prince Sirki falls for the irresistible Grazia (Evelyn Venable), the daughter of one of Duke’s friends. Grazia knows who Death is but does not fear him, much to the chagrin of her fiancé, Corrado (Kent Taylor) who has developed a strong disdain for Prince Charming.
More sinister than Brad Pitt in the 1998 remake Meet Joe Black, March turns in a very convincing performance as the creepy yet strangely appealing guest. Although the ending is melodramatic, the emotions are very real and the suggestion that Death may in reality be a friend disguised as a foe is quite touching.

In this wearisome and predictable plot line, Death falls in love and bores us to death talking about it.
(Dennis Schwartz, homepages.sover.net)
I've heard DRACULA was advertised with the tag line "The Weirdest Love Story ever told!" (this is probably a paraphrase), but at heart, I've never felt that you could honestly call that movie a love story. The tag line would be much more appropriate for this one, since it ultimately boils down to what amounts to a love story. This movie is very good indeed, particularly if you consider that it is built around a concept that could have easily been handled in a cute or facile manner. Instead, it is handled as seriously as possible, with some real thought put into how death would try to come to terms with a life and an outlook that was to that point totally unfamiliar to him; much of the credit does go to Fredric March in the title role. It's quite scary when it needs to be, particularly during the first twenty minutes. From then on, it deals with its themes with subtlety, a quiet wit, an enduring sadness, and an everpresent tension on how Death might react if crossed. It's not perfect; some of the dialogue is self-conscious and artificial, as if the writers knew they were dealing with weighty issues and were trying to be profound. But I am certainly glad they didn't try to turn it into a musical comedy of sorts.

剧场版是新生代中最高的
那会的皇族真没出息，居然还怕小报记者，大出版商也怕。
個人覺得其實人生是沒有太多實質性意義的，男主角雖然浮躁，追名逐利，但是也算是走了一遭，不管成功與否，我覺得都值得了。
烂，尬，2021年最不幸的是就是追了这部奥特曼，想来根本自平成三部曲后就没看过之后的奥特曼了，奔着新生代迪迦的噱头看完了这部奥特曼，估计以后不会再看任何奥特曼了，曾经的圆谷和我的青春一样回不去了。
爽！！阿z好帅！！扳机仔好帅！斯麦鲁斯麦鲁！
每个人都可以靠自己力量去变成光，但孤身一人终究无法闪耀!
坏消息就是他在和TV比
真的2分不能再多了，真不知道好评是哪来的，作为下饭局看，看完连保存硬盘的想法都没有。边吐槽边惋惜，现在的小孩不像我们能看到迪迦盖亚戴拿那些高质量的奥特曼剧集
也算是给泽塔补一个剧场版吧…
陪侄子看的，还得靠他讲解，一个奥特曼，居然还有这么多形态
武居果然没有让我们失望，引入新人物创造性地填补了TV的两个坑——剑悟（即特利迦本体）为何会化身为人和历经三千万年的变身器的由来。这部剧场版的回答比起主题混乱二十五集的TV我已经不能再满意了。虽然比起靠财大气粗和人物ooc硬扳回来的零一剧场版力道还差些，《特利迦》能够凭借原来一塌糊涂的人设和剧情反而讲出了一个质感厚实的故事，这点已实属不易。
比想象的要好看多了，观感也比预告片要好。剧情总算像点样子，经历磨难后的守护笑容，微笑吧才有了真正的意义。那句“笑一笑”也不显得尴尬和虚无了。在致敬迪迦的地方，变身器被抢走，夺回来那一刻总算有点当年大古和迪迦的精神了 。新的特写，镜头啥的也比TV版要好，比TV版热血和燃多了。剧情质量提升，有所进步，换了懂特摄的编剧真的好太多了！而且感觉比新生代癫疯要好看，它都给满星了，这个不给，不太好意思啊。
导演层面看不出什么问题，主要缺陷是故事与当下的强行勾连。剧本放大了媒体讽刺中最当下的部分（甚至真的用信鸽影射了Twitter），但这些浮皮潦草的讽刺在华丽古典的调性中显得异常突兀。男主角浮夸不浮夸，严肃不严肃，也没有呈现出时间对角色的磨炼，演得很尴尬。
文戏飞升，打戏也在线，TV里面那些边缘化的人物也终于有了足够的刻画，观感出乎意料的好。
P.S. 所以……彰人是迪迦里的那只小狗🐶？？？。。。
感觉很一般呐....新生代奥的剧场版都这种水平线的吗....
“剑悟既不是光也不是奥特曼，他只是一个能变成奥特曼的人类罢了！”
可能和tv比强很多，但是放整个特摄里实在是不行 大纲立意细节没有一个到位的，甚至感觉遥辉都不太行 完全没意思
比TV好看多了，但特利迦也太那个了，连邪恶特利迦还要打那么久。
