+++++ POSITIVES +++++
+ The characters were spot on. The writers really captured the actions and looks of the original characters and I wouldn't have changed them one bit.
+ The actors were great. Most of the cast are really big names and they are big names for a reason. I feel like this sort of slap stick comedy fit all of them perfectly and they really managed to pull off their characters facial expressions and energy. It really felt like a real life anime.
+ The script is very close to the original with only a few original scenes added to it. A conservative Gintama fan would be proud.
+ The fighting scenes were really well made and looked great. Except for succeeding with the flow of the fight, they added effects that fit just right to give it the anime feel.
----- NEGATIVES -----
- The CG was really bad and the explosions looked like something out of a bad movie. Sometimes they made it work but for the most part they didn't. Because the whole theme of Gintama is a parody on.... pretty much everything... the bad effects are not a problem it's just that they might bother the eye a bit.
- The progress was a bit awkward if you look at the story as a whole. For those who haven't seen the anime, nothing really make sense and the precious values that they are trying to push throughout the movie kind of come across as forced or rushed. They really could have built it better.
===== SUMMARY =====
When it comes down to it, I can't really rate this movie on how much I liked it but rather on how well it lived up to it's anime origin. This live action was based on a very loud, energetic anime so obviously it will try to capture that same energy and I think they did a really good job. I felt like I was watching an anime with real people in it. This is thanks to the great actors and the wonderful writers who decided to stay true to the original work. Although the CG could have been better and the story was a little fuzzy, it has somewhat of a story line and because it's a parody, the CG was quickly forgiven.
~~~~~ RECOMMEND TO ~~~~~
I recommend this to people who like loud, self aware, shounen parodies with simple slapstick humor, sexual jokes and a lot of references to other anime, comics or the actors themselves. The plot is not the strongest, but it definitely brightens up ones day and lightens the mood. Prepare to laugh!
ENJOY!
