Review of Gintama (2017) by Ryan H — 15 Nov 2017
As an anime/manga fan, I'm very sceptical when it comes to live action adaptation movie although this year Ghost in the Shell is surprisingly good but not until the Gintama live action movie it finally blew me away.
Gintama is my all time favourite comedy anime and probably the hardest anime to make a adaptation cause the whole series is a one big anime/manga parody but thanks to the director for understanding the source material all the jokes and references pull out very well.
The cast definitely have a blast while making the movie cause not only they look very close but also portrayed very well all the beloved characters in the series. The production value is good when they manage to recreate all the little details and important aspect of the movie.
Non-anime fan also can enjoy this movie and cause they choose the Benizakura arc which is the most easy arc to know all the characters. My problem is there not enough screen time for some character and one of the main villain of the series is Shinsuke Takasugi pretty laughable.
There still some fan favourite side characters need to be introduce and the fight scene need to be better choreographed but I believe this is a good step for live action movie right now.
