Tokyo Revengers

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.

This could be better with the idea of time traveling. The beginning part was good i motivated to see the rest of the movie. But the rest of the movie wasn't as good. The leading character was really annoying. A clumsy boy without any special capability. How can a girl love someone like him.

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.
