What I loved most: 2 hr and 30 mins of gruesome torturous experience
What I really hated: When i overheard someone saying this is not bad.
What's going on, seems like people are enjoying this show from the reviews here. I can guarantee that people who gave 1-2 stars for this movies are the ones giving helpful reviews.
If u trust the others, go have a look and your own risks. Well, since it's based off a manga, i suppose it has its own fans. However, for me and my 5 friends who went to have a look at this film yesterday. It was nothing but a crap that denied us of 2 and a half nice hours of our life. The main villain can float and wears a condom like ragbag over his head and shakes his head vigorously whenever he has a close-up shot.
Is it a sci-fi film? Horror? Comedy? Action? Nope. Its on a whole new tier of its own- Junk.
As a jap manga film, the storyline is so ambiguous that it is laughable. super powered protagonists that can dodge bullets(wtf?) villain that floats and wants to play all the time(lol?)
Ending with an astronomical outburst of explosion guaranteed to destroy the whole planet, if not, the whole japan but in the end destroyed nothing. Part 2 is coming out but i'm gonna donate that $10 to a busker as a much better cause.
Sorry to all who seems to like this show(like WTF?!) 5 x all time worst is the 1st i've really given to a film. Junk calibre.

What I loved most: The main hero
What I really hated: Evrything else
I was always sleeping throughout the whole movie as i was waiting for the action to happen. And when it finally happens, it was too lame for me to appreciate...i think it's only for manga fans. Even the distaster shots were really obviously superimposed, doesnt look real...and how did it surpass Death Note? I'm not sure, but this is not even on the same league to be compared to the latter!

What I loved most: some parts is vaguely funny
What I really hated: alot of loopholes in story. Maybe they are trying to get you watch part 2 for e patching of loophole
Seems to have different directors directing the shows cuz there seems to be a very sharp jump in pace 1/2 way thru the show. Very disconnected feeling. Have not read the manga but there seems to be some portions dropped so the story dont seem to flow.

This movie is bad. Half way thru I almost fell asleep.
The pace was bad. The editing is confusing at times.
Don't why the newspaper even dare to compare this movie with Death Note. Death Note was much better by miles. The movie fail to justify its big budget.
I have not seen such a bad Japanese movie.
Doesn't do justice to the manga.
