This is How Movies Should Be Made

Don't listen to the negative reviews

This movie tries so hard to be funny, yet it falls flat every time. Just another example of recycled ideas repackaged with women in an attempt to appeal to a certain audience.

This is one of the best movies I’ve seen in a very long time. You have to go and see this on the big screen.

I've enjoyed the film with full satisfication.enjyed a lot.Great adaptation . .

IN this day and age with CGI costing so little how could they get it so wrong. I am a fan of the anime and they massacred the movie. Here are some examples: (1) The CGI and appliances (the head) of the parasytes are pathetic. You can see they are plastic and poorly animated (2) Shin'ichi is so plastic looking and they way the actor's choices and the way he delivers lines is unbelievable. (3) The choice of actor. There was no journey and no change- (could have been the script and a one dimensional actor). Why didn't the actor wear glasses at the start and then loose them later when he got some of the parasytes cells. Why didn't they choose an actor with straight hair, who could look "nerdy" initially and then become convincing as a cold calculating human. (4) the over explanation of concepts. etc etcIt's terrible, don't see it.I can't believe the overall ranking is 7.1. As a fan, I can't believe the owners of the movie let this be made like this.

I haven't read the manga this is based on, but I HAVE seen the anime of it which was one of my favourites in the past few years and while the plot in this movie adaptation is very sped up, it is extremely well done! The story is cohesive enough even though plot points had to be edited and the special effects are superb considering what they COULD have been... beat the socks off San Andreas which was nothing BUT one long CGI sequence. Hollywood, take note... sometimes less IS more.I can understand people who are new or haven't been exposed to the story possibly having a tough time 'getting it', but there really is enough to hang a story on... even with a giant chunk missing here and there. As for the detractors going on about how the original has been butchered, give it a rest would ya?? The anime clocked in at somewhere near 9 hours in it's entirety and yes, it was condensed from the manga, but what the heck do you need to be satisfied with a movie adaptation? Five to six full length movies? a few 3 hour movies?? get real here... there's an old saying that goes 'A movies length should be no longer than the average viewer's bladder capacity'. Get off your fandom, 'purist' snotty attitudes and accept it for what it is... a wholly ORIGINAL and satisfying experience that Hollywood could do FAR worse to emulate!

This movie is neither based on the anime or manga, the names, some of the scenes might come close to it, but in the end is a piece of... In the anime, or better in the manga - the characters are more developed, the story is more thrilling , and this > disappointment. It was a burden to watch the whole movie, with the hope at least something will be done right. No , neither Migi, Shinichi or Murano come close to the characters in the manga. Maybe Tamia , her persona is on spot. Basically - Kiseijuu part 1 is close to the story in one thing - parasites come to earth and infest humans . With the hope my favorite anime to come alive on the silver screen fading away, i am writing this as a warning to all anime fans and manga readers - watch it and in 30 minutes you'll be asking where is the story we loved ?
