Didn't know about this until the animated series and this movie were recommended to me on Netflix.

Watched the few episodes of the animated series and really liked it, so I followed up by watching this movie in the original Japanese with English subtitles.

The live action movie was not as good as the animated version, but still decent. I enjoyed how the overworked Japanese culture was the driving force for our hero's transformation. The journey for our hero and his companions were pretty good. But once the trio reached the aquarium, it just felt like the story ran out of steam or budget to more fully execute the vision.

6 out of 10. Glad I watched it, but I am looking forward to more episodes for the animated series.

People who don't watch Japanese Cinema or people who wants deep philosophical meaning in a fun movie should watch scorsese not this. I am a Hollywood fan but Japanese Cinema has it's charm... Over the top Energy and all around fun time. From Alice in Borderland to confessions to kamikaze girls... Japanese cinema is such unique experience... So stop listening to such fake so called cinephiles... And enjoy this. It's just a great popcorn flick with fun time all around! And Yes all the other japanese cinema that I named here. You should check them out too. Japan is not just about anime but cinema is great too. Akira Kurosawa was legend who inspired everyone... Yet Japanese cinema is still underrated due to people being ignorant or like negative comments... Not understanding the difference between fun film and serious film.

It's hard to fathom how a movie with such a promising concept could go so incredibly wrong. Zom 100 turns out to be an absolute disaster in every aspect. From the lackluster story to the amateurish direction, this movie fails to conjure up even an ounce of excitement or entertainment.

Adding fuel to the fire, the acting is atrociuosly wooden. Every character in Zom 100 delivers their lines with zero emotion or conviction, resulting in an overall lack of engagement with the audience. There was no attempt to develop any meaningful character arcs, leaving us with a bunch of cardboard cutouts wandering aimlessly amidst the chaos.

In conclusion, 'Zom 100: Bucket List of the Dead' is an utter disappointment. It lacks an engaging story, decent acting, effective special effects, and competent direction. The movie's potential is absolutely squandered, leaving viewers regretful of wasting their time on such an abysmal production. Save yourself from this zombie apocalypse and steer clear of this catastrophic mess.

It was rather cringey than funny.

Most of live action that adapted from book and anime are end up dissapointing. This one is not an exception. My expectation is low since the format is a movie, while the zoom-100 manga is a series, so there will be a lot of part will be cut, but oh holy shittt, it's even worse than i expect.

At first it is decent, the cinematography is vibrant, help to set the mood, but as time goes by, it's clear the director has no clear vision where it should go. The zombie is so slow and easy to fight , where is the thrilling part? The plot is questionable like why don't they have police or soldier to protect people in the dangerous situation. And bruh the hell is shark zombie with leg. The acting is either flat and dull or overreact, there is no in between. Among the 4 main roles, only the uncle one who can act,the rest need to go back to acting school

It supposed to be fun, but it lost every element that supposed to make it into enjoyable. It's cringey snozefest at the best. What a waste of time.

Plot

Surviving a zombie apocalypse beats being a wage slave any day. After spending years slaving away for a soul-crushing company, Akira's life has lost its luster. He lives in a trash-filled apartment, his pay is abysmal, and he can't even muster up the nerve to confess his love to his beautiful co-worker. But when a zombie apocalypse ravages his town, it gives him the push he needs to live for himself. Now Akira's on a mission to complete all 100 items on his bucket list before he...well, kicks the bucket.

Cast

Unfamiliar with anyone involved, however most of the cast were great here.

Verdict

Straight out of the gate let me say I've not seen the anime this is based on yet and have to say I'm very surprised there is a live action movie released in the same year as the anime!

I love zombie movies, I love zombie everything in fact so was excited for this one. Japanese, zombies, comedy, a great trailer, my expectations were high but maybe I pushed them a smidge too high.

Zom 100 is less zany than the trailer suggests, it's still comedic but also quite melancholy so be prepared for that. It's also however endearing, sweet and full of positive messages even the best of us could pay attention to.

It has its flaws this is true, it's not made fantastically in places and the final act is a smidge eyebrow raising! My other half despised one of the later elements of the movie, a bit Scyfy channel-ish for her liking.

Regardless I found this an endearing fun zombie film well worth your time.

Rants

Is the sub-genre oversaturated? I mean zombies are everywhere, Walking Dead made them "Cool" again apparently which is a double edged blade. For me they never stopped and now I get more content but on the flipside the influx of zombie related material has me a tad burned out and the material is being made by people who perhaps shouldn't but are simply because there is money to be made. I love zombies, so bring it on.

Breakdown

• Great characters
• Solid performances
• Great vibe
• Poorly made in places
• Low on humour for a comedy film.

The movie is not a zombie in the common sense that we always see. The Z's in this movie responses to sound and sometime human. Sometimes they don't even follow this group at all. They walked silently and the zombies ignored them. What logic do they have in the movie. If they are hungry for human flesh, they should follow human scent, blood or brains. I think the movie has some good part regarding spirit and that is the main point for the movie. Zombie is the smoke screen, they put it on just to be one of main condition among others that gel the group together. If you just want to see the Japanese zombie version. This is it. They are not exactly the same as you might want. One funny thing is that, you won't see they used knives or guns to fight zombies. Just their bare hands which is too foolish. You might thought, didn't your guys watch any zombie movies at all? If you are streaming it and really want to skim through it, I recommend 1.5X speed and you miss nothing, really!

Zom 100: Bucket List of the Dead: Akira Tendo is a bit like a zombie alrady, yet another corporate drone, overworked, he's the type who would welcome any apocalypse. When the zombie Apocalypse arrives at first he just combats the zombies, intent on not being late for work, then he realises that he is free from such tyranny. He encounters some disappointments at first, but links up with others to embark on a series of escapades including Akira'a bucket list. There's a downside, some wish to continue the regimentation of the old life in refuges from the apocalypse. A story how crises cause some people to change their attitudes but others double down on their bad sides. It features a great Zombie Shark and believable human zombies. In spite of it being a comedy some of the deaths are all too realistic as the zombies eat people alive or turn them. It's far too long and drawn out though with too many cardboard cut out supporting characters who dial their roles in. A 2h 8m film which might have worked at 90 minutes. Directed by Yûsuke Ishida, written by Haro Aso, Tatsuro Mishima & Kotaro Takata. On Netflix. 5.5/10.

Watch the anime instead. Don't bother with live action. The plothole is everywhere, the story just don't make sense.the woman is nothing but lust object of incel main role. The actors can't act well except the old man one. It's always overreact expression. If you want thrilling zombie flix in netflix, watch all of us is death instead. Japan is dissapointing once again.idk why they bother making cringey live action instead making arthouses movie more with great plots and using actors who can act just like in the Akira Kurosawa's era. This movie is one of the proof that japanese cinema quality is decreasing a lot.

The biggest issue of zombie 100 was the characters lack depth or any meaningful development. They are nothing more than clichéd archetypes, making it difficult to form any emotional connection in the movie.

With a ludicrous plot, forgettable characters, it's hard to recommend this film to anyone seeking a truly thrilling and immersive zombie experience. This movie just seems cheesy and cheap.

Wasted 2 hours of my life. Poor adaptation of the original manga and lack of acting skills. It's not the worst thing I've seen either, but I definitely wouldn't recommend it. Just don't waste your time on this.

I love good zombie movies and series. Good can be scary, gory, funny, and anything in between as long as there's a great plot and the characters are believable. I've watched lots of zombie movies and series. Some of my favorites are Walking Dead, Resident Evil (the first three), World War Z, Train to Busan, Peninsula, Alive, Dawn of the Dead (the one in the mall with the little dog, Zombieland and Army of the Dead. I love this movie! The characters were easy to care about and believable. The first half was the better, but I liked the ending too. I don't feel I wasted my time watching at all. I'm going to watch again soon with my family.

At the beginning, the film seems promising but I was reminded of a zombie film from Korea, namely Alive. The longer it gets more exciting but instead it reminds me of alice in wonderland, moreover the main character Akira is similar to Arisu, a nerd with ambitious dreams. Especially with the addition of the female character, Shizuka, who is similar to Usagi, a tough woman who likes to be alone. The film itself has many plot holes that make the audience feel confused and think the film doesn't make enough sense, such as during the film there are barely any police or military forces to fight zombies and save people. I stopped enjoying this movie when the shark zombie appeared, lol shark zombie with human legs.

This movie was not good at all. It makes 120 minutes seem like an eternity. It is worse when compared with the original anime manga, the film seems grabbed the elements and ruined. If you like the original anime manga then DO NOT watch this.

When I first heard about a live action zombies 100 movie I was excited, I thought it could be cool to see this in life action. But in fact, Its painful to watch. The acting ability especially the leading actor needs to be improved. It just seems like to grab an actor with some kind of profile, and have them yak for two hours.

Just another sad film adaptation. Overall it was a huge waste of time. I just felt I wasted nearly 2 hours of my life. Do yourself a favor and go watch other movies.

Like the title says the movie has lots of purposeful over the top acting and takes lot of comedical influence of anime or manga.

Many of the reviews clearly have not get the over the top anime style acting and are actually thinking that japanese movies and acting is always like this, atleast thats what im reading between the lines, so ignore those, i am writing this review so ypu could get more clear picture what this movie is about.

The movie is not that gory and not really about people shooting and slashing zombies like crazy, only slight gore imo, it is mainly about comedy and about doing what you want, not just what you are expected and heavily makes fun about japanese work culture. Importance of fiendship is big part of the movie.

At first I thought, hey maybe I made a mistake, I thought it was for adults but they probably made it for children seeing how absolutely ridiculous it was and didn't want to post a review and then I remembered, hey this had some nasty man eating scenes for a kids movie and then I remembered, it had scenes with full blown tits..... This cringefest was actually made for adults, what the actual .... how do the Japanese keep getting away with this cringe stuff? Why does IMDB need me to write so much to post one simple review, oh my god, I still have characters left, finish already, I'm done for the love of... Ok bye!

RATED 6/10 Language: Japanese Source: Netflix

If you watched the trailer, I would recommend to stop it there itself. No need to sit through the full length of this movie. There is nothing more exiting than in the trailer. I really liked the concept and get bit high hope as it is the adaptation from animation.

It was quite good in the beginning, later it becomes highly predictable and not much exiting moments in the story. But there are some interesting zombie fights here and there, but just for these small excitements, we can not sit through this movie fully.

It lacks good screenplay and content. When the wishes become silly and simple, you lost the interest on the flow.

This live action Zom 100 movie is the not even funny and if anyone who has seen the anime, they would feel how the movie is lacking in every aspect. Not even the characters suits the roles they're playing. I'm sure you won't be able to even watch half of the movie or leave it in first 30 minutes. Trust me it's that bad 😂 The story is somewhat different from anime. The movie fails to bring that feeling we get from watching zombie movies like we are used to. It looks like they were trying to make it funny but you won't laugh throughout the movie and get bored only after first 15-20 minutes.

Go watch the anime instead, it's so much fun.
