Tokyo Revengers

Japanese Movie "Tokyo Revengers" is the live-action adaption of the popular manga series with the same name.

The overall movie has a nice atmosphere and the fans of High&Low would probably love this film as well. It has plenty of great fighting scenes that were well executed and well-choreographed. The performances were all masterful too, but the main lead was especially enjoyable, funny, emotional, and diverse. The dynamics between the cast were also pretty strong and that helped creating the right team environment that the movie needed to promote right from the start.

However, and even though the film is well made and the camera work is brilliant, the story felt like it only stretched the surface, like something was missing as the movie was moving towards the final showdown. The ending was pretty rushed too.

So, overall, 7 out of 10.

Better than expected. The ending has issues mainly due to overpowered characters becoming weaker at the end to smooth over plot points and the inverse happening. Plus the film seems to want to set up for a sequel but is a little too loose on it. I am sure the manga or comics this is based off of is probably better or was it an anime or something like that and then I was like oh yeah.

Is this movie worth watching? Maybe.

How was the plot? Great.

Was the budget enough? Big yes.

What is this movie saying about our world? Nothing.

What is your emotional response to this movie? Joy.

What did this movie make me feel? Entertained.

What moments, character, or ideas resonated with you while watching this movie? The action. And sci-fi.

The movie is 3x more brutal than the anime in my opinion some of the fighting scenes in the movie didn't even happen in the anime the movie is more about action while the anime is about humor.

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!

Disclaimer: I have not read the manga or watched the anime of the same name.

I grew up on Shonens and this is basically a Shonen movie, therefore I like.

My inner-hero was well pleased with this film.
