Featured reviews
I would say this is better than 85% of the stuff coming out from Marvel. Good backstory and character development. Not just mindless action and tiresome "jokes" which make a farce out of everything.
Honestly, it's an _alright_ adaptation, there's way worse out there (like Netflix's Death Note for example), but you should just watch the anime instead of this movie, almost everything in the anime is better. Except for the soundtracks.
Now, for the actual review of this movie:
It misses too many aspects of the anime, it rushes them, it applies things from the anime that are purposefully developed, but without developing them in the movie. Ichiro Inuyashiki should care way more about the lives of the people he couldn't save, but in this movie, he doesn't care enough. The whole reason why he wants to save people is because it allows him to "stay human", even as a robot, it allows him to find his humanity again, but in the movie, it's not that clear why he saves them in the first place.
The CGi itself is REALLY good though, way better than the CG which was used in the anime. It's really good CGI which won't take you out of the movie.
Action scenes are also good, they were satisfying to watch.
The soundtracks are also good, maybe better than the ones in the anime, except for one thing. The song used in the trailer isn't used a single time in the movie, except during the credits, which is really dumb as it was a song by MAN WITH A MISSION, the band who did the opening of the anime.
Anyway, overall it's fine, if you're planning to watch the anime but wanna watch this movie too, then watch the movie first then the anime.

I can't say anything but, this movie is truly amazing. Good writer, intension, twist story and also truly emotional. Is really recommend movie you must watch. 👏👏👏
Watched this yesterday, the movie plot is really good, both characters' backstory were built in such a short period of time but they are flawless, plot twist that makes you wonder where things are really headed are presented in such a nice way.
I loved everything about it until at the last scenes, "my loved one is gonna die-sudden power up" cliche really turned me down, just as the evil character one said during the showdown... I hate it so much when cliche like this happen, it ruins the whole character's progress...
Watch it if you like superhero story with good animation and plot, maybe skip it if you have watched way too many superhero movies... your choice

If this is Japan's bid for the superhero genre, I think we have something to look forward to. As an anime adaptation, it remains a bit cartoon-esque. But the characters have a depth which Marvel can only dream of and the story actually hangs together (oh yes, and when someone gets shot, they bleed).
As an absolute, I would probably give this movie a 7, but to encourage any makers to continue on the path Inuyashiki has taken, I've bumped it up to an 8.
