Review of GTO: The Movie (1999) by Sabrina T — 16 May 2008

For some reason I didn't like it as much as I thought I would. Even the high ratings for the movie here surprised me.

Not that it was a bad movie, it's just... well... it didn't appeal to me. Sorry, I'm not a fan of the original series (well, because I haven't seen it yet, thought I still want to!).

Somehow to me Onizuka Sensei came across more obnoxious than unorthodox. Yeah, he had his charm, albeit a different one. Not a wise teacher. Hmm.. maybe it was because you never actually see him "teach" in class, even in the last classroom scene. So apart from him being a life-lessons mentor mostly to Ayano and Raku, I didn't see a teacher at all.

Ayano is pretty annoying. I didn't even pity her character at all. PLUS, the actress looks like Kim Chiu. ek.

And.. the reporter lady looks like Marian Rivera.

And, can anyone tell me what was the condom's importance in all of this??
