Review of The Disappearance of Haruhi Suzumiya (2010) by Chloe G — 08 Jan 2011
I've watched it 4 times by now, and I'll probably watch it again. Every emotion Kyon feels, you feel as well. It's especially effective the first time when you have NO idea what's happened, though. Don't let anyone spoil it for you!
It helps that Yuki is my favorite character. And Mikuru is my least favorite. The screen time reflects this. I'll say of it, though, the reason it works so well is exactly the same as the reason the show works: the actors. It's amazingly directed, scored, animated, scripted, so on... but trust me from watching parodies and remakes, Tomokazu Sugita is the only Kyon. Aya Hirano is the only Haruhi. Minorin is the only Yuki. It goes with this for everyone, down to minors like Taniguchi. He wouldn't be half as hysterical without Minoru Shiraishi, would he?
The only fault I could possibly pull from it would be that it's impossible to watch it without watching the show. This doesn't seem like such a big deal, but I feel sad for people who won't be able to enjoy this amazing movie because they haven't watched it. And if they tried, they would end up giving out before the end of Endless Eight.
Even I gave out during Endless Eight.
