Tokyo Ghoul

As a fan of both the manga and the anime, I expected to get sorely disappointed with this movie. Surprisingly, I wasn't. Okay, it wasn't perfect (no live action is, I think) but the movie stayed as faithful to the original story as possible and, for me, that matters a lot. The acting was great; Masataka Kubota was just perfect for the role and some people saying he seems way too old is just plain bullshit. Kubota is a far better actor than many Japanese actors I've watched as of late. Granted, the special effects could be better, but the action scenes were executed well and didn't feel awkward for the most part. Overall, I enjoyed it and looking forward to the sequel.

Overall, this was a pretty good adaptation. There most likely will be a trilogy to tell the whole story, well, at least if they want to cover everything the animated series had to offer. This movie completely cuts out the rival ghouls who wish to find rize and end up kidnapping kaneke. The torture scene, as well as, the rescue scenes are cut out which makes me think that storyline will appear in the 2nd movie if they decide to continue with the live action adaptations. Then the third one will probably pick up with kaneke's transformation into the white haired ghoul when he realizes the full extent of his powers.

This is a well written film with good visuals. My only critisism is that the weapons such as the kagunes or quinques don't look realistic. Also the blood looks lumpy.

This was an interesting movie. The acting is not the greatest but I liked the story. This is what made it worth watching. I started it thinking that I would not like it very much but decided I should give it a try. Im glad I did. Dont approach it expecting a total block buster drama, but rather as what it is..A comic book adaptation movie. Some of it is pretty goofy but as its based on a comic book i give it them. Best for a younger audience, but including myself from a more middle aged group I still enjoyed the movie.

They did change many things but it still turn out to be pretty good compare to other live action movies so I'm preally happy to watch this I would like to get part 2 for sure.
