Tokyo Ghoul

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.

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.

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.

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.

While the general world is very similiar to the premise of the "vampire society living in our world" there are a few twists. The "Ghoul" society is a secret society that exists in our world, and eat humans. However, we take the side of the Ghouls in this story against the human police organisaiton that hunts them down. The Ghouls themselves are split into sectors, and fight each other.

The world developed is an interesting one, and very Japanese. Acting is very good, as are the special effects. Overall, a pretty interesting film, really not pure horror or action film, but a touch of both. The confusion of the main character, who spends most of the film trying to come to grips with what he is, is a nice major plotline. In this film, its the Ghouls that seem to have the humanity, not the humans. If you like vampire cinema, Japanese movies, horror, or science fiction, you will definitely like this.
