Tokyo Revengers

It started somewhat promising , but along the way it does go downhill a bit.

Not sure maybe it was a bit too much unbelievable moments , or the script wasnt that good .

I did not really care that much anymore in the end , so to rate a 6 is maybe even slightly generous .

I wasn't expecting much but this was a massive let down. The first couple of minutes of the movie had some scenes that was so bad it was funny and I genuenly laughed but other than that I was bored to death. Most of the character design looked like terrible cosplays. Only a cople of characters looked good.

Live action adaption of manga with the same title, this movie stays true to its original source. Of course, duration of movie has its limitation, so many details in manga didn't make it to the live action version. But still, this movie really worth watching whether you already read manga version or not.

Good movie 8/10.

Just like when I first saw High & Low the movie, I had no idea what this was all about going into it, other than it's originally a manga. All I knew is Murayama and Yamato are in it. So, this is from the perspective of a non-manga reader. So, with that said,

I really liked this!

The way the 3 main characters - Takemichi, Mikey, and Draken - interact was really enjoyable. I especially liked Draken, particularly in the hospital scene. He's extremely loyal to Mikey, but at the same time stays true to his own principles. Very cool. Mikey is pretty chill and kicks some serious ass. The biggest surprise was Takemichi. I thought it was pretty funny/interesting having a MC who is basically useless in terms of fighting except when it comes to taking a beating.

The fights in this are pretty good, although not quite up to H&L standards. There's a pretty big brawl later on that is quite reminiscent of those films, just not quite to the same scale.

At the end of this I found myself wanting more. Is that really it? This certainly doesn't feel like enough. More like an episode in the life of. I want to see where this story goes. So, I guess I'll have to check out the anime and see where that takes me.

I started reading the manga a little over a year ago, long before there was an anime and live action for it. I fell for the series instantly. I was not disappointed in the least by the movie, the choreography of the fighting scenes were 98% accurate, I say 98% because I don't think they could convey the fighting from any more properly than they did, after all it's not 100% realistic. The characters, were very much akin to their manga counterparts, to the point that most of the main cast looked exactly like their manga version, it's as if they stepped out of the move pages of the books, and was impressive. The story being packed into a movie, meant that there were thing's obviously left out, but I feel like they stayed very true to the plot and didn't miss anything of importance. I don't see why you wouldn't want to watch this movie, if you are a fan of the manga/and or anime already? It's far more true to it's original counterparts than a lot of live action's out there. Hope there will be a part 2!
