Tôkyô gûru

I liked it, it vaguely reminded me of the excellent "Death Note", keeping the respective differences, both have a dark theme, with adolescent clothes, which I like a lot, stripped script, bloods and tentacles, adorable ... From the middle to the end, there was a drag unattractive, between the girl and her late father, but she recovers and the final bloodbath pays off...

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.

Tokyo Ghoul live action movie is...good. I mean, as far as adaptations go. The movie doesn't skimp out on the blood and guts and for the more queasy, you might not want visit the concession stand or risk losing your popcorn. Easy to follow but suffers like many adaptations with the too much to explain with too little time syndrome. The pacing also had its ups and downs but mostly because of the intensity of some of its key scenes that make the quieter moments quieter. Great acting all around, especially from its mains. Both Kubota and Shimizu play their parts well and, though I can already hear the overacting complaints from others despite Kubota really making a perfect Kaneki with the switches between calm and paranoia. Despite not being the best CGI in the business, it never took me out of the story. I was almost always invested and I can't believe I'm saying this but...I want a second one.

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.

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.
