What happened to Gantz?,
By
This review is from: Gantz (DVD)
I enjoyed the twisted world of Gant when I viewed the anime series.Now for the movie, first of all, it ends with a 'to be continued' meaning the movie was split in two parts. I expected it to be well even fast paced since they had a lot of content to get in there. It was pretty much slow and I found that they totally did NOT get the chemistry between the characters. You feel no attachment what so ever and it feels like their personalities where thrown out the window once the movie was made. If you expect the characters to somewhat ressemble the anime series, forget it. You could actually care less if they all get killed. I do admit some budget was considered for the making of this movie, which made it more enjoyable but sitting through it for 2 hours and 10 minutes, I found myself wanting it come to an end, but then I was hit with a To Be Continued. At your risk to watch this, I was disappointed and was left pretty much bored.

Possibly the best comic-book adaptation ever!,

This review is from: Gantz [Blu-ray] (Blu-ray)
This movie turned out much better than I anticipated! It managed to capture the feel of the comic, while still being accessable to gantz newcomers (my wife also enjoyed it.) The extreme content from the comic has also been toned down severely. While some may see that as a negative, the film makers HAD to do it to appeal to a larger audience. I believe it makes the viewing experience much more enjoyable. So, if you are a fan of Gantz, japanese cinema, or manga/anime in general, check out this movie! *WARNING: WATCH IN JAPANESE! THE ENGLISH DUB IS INCOMPREHENSIBLY TERRIBLE!*

A Tribute to the short-lived Anime...,

This review is from: Gantz [Blu-ray] (Blu-ray)
I must first say that this movie is an Salute, Tribute or Homage to the Anime Series so, with that being said its not for everybody. That's not a bad thing though, Because as a fan of the Series and as a person who was mad they cut the series after only 2 seasons I can gladly say I enjoyed watching the Live Action Version and comparing it to the Anime. Not everyone can handle seeing an animated show filled with Sex, Gore, Violence & a Sci-Fi story line all at once but, I sure can. If you do decide to get this Live Action version rest assured the US Blu-ray version is the best quality you can find. You get a 3 disc set at a good price and it has the DVD copy with it as well. IT has the Original Japanese Language as well as a English overdub. I personally could not stand the the English Dub and I just went for original language with really great subtitles. I know I'm not telling specific details about the film itself but, that's because I really want you to buy this Blu-ray or at least go grab the Anime. I Give this movie 5 Stars and an A++! So Go Buy it, Rent it, or borrow from a friend Its worth your time.

"Gantz" delivers the goods.,

This review is from: Gantz [Blu-ray] (Blu-ray)
If you enjoyed the live action adaptations of "Death Note" (2 films and a side story film), "20th Century Boys" (an excellent trilogy), "Kaiji: Gambling Apocalypse" (2 films) and "The Incite Mill", then you will enjoy the live action version of "Gantz". Nice blu-ray transfer. Good film. Raw action. Breath-taking fight scene with giant majin type characters kind of reminds you of the majin fight scene in "Sucker Punch" but more intense. Bring on a blu-ray release for the sequel "Gantz: Perfect Answer".
