GANTZ MOVIE SPOILER ALERT!!!!!

if you dont wanna be spoiled. CLOSE THIS PAGE NOW!

 honestly, im a little scared for this film, first, it is hard to make a film  based from a manga, most of what ive seen, the movie doesnt meet the viewers expectations. 

2nd. fanatics always claim that the movie butchered the manga. 

3rd. fanatics never get satisfied. 

4th. other comments, pls read no. 3. 

so far, ive read good reviews about the film, but its a different story when gantz fanatics watch it.

 

-----------------------

 

 

ok. iwas looking for some gantz - nino picture WHEN i encountrered this blog about gantz manga becoming a film, and most commenters are gantz fans, so naturally they were waiting for the film. AND THEN i read this comment....

first about Jason Gray

 JASON GRAY (English writer and movie translator based in Japan) spoiler-ish tweets review. HIS verdict on Gantz : HE LIKES IT. WAHOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!

Attended a press screening of upcoming moving GANTZ the other day and tweeted some thoughts on it. I don't do the review thing anymore but if you cobble the below tweets together you'll have some of the first impressions of the film in English (potential spoilers).

The first installment of GANTZ will be released on Jan 29 2011 while GANTZ: Part II is slated for April 23. However, cities around the US will get a dubbed, one-night-only world premiere of part one on January 20 (see here).

GANTZ (potential spoilers) 4: Ninomiya is so slight in the battle suit that it gives his furious action scenes a fun(ny) quality 5:13 PM Dec 7th via web

An editor or journalist for [Cut] magazine blogged about Gantz report that they will run soon. The person watched the pre-release movie and concluded Gantz amongst other Japanese movies is like what "The Dark Knight" did to the Batman series.

Note: translated using google translate: orginal article :  http://ro69.jp/blog/cut/44733

Also Japan cinema listed their top 10 most anticipated films of the year. and Gantz is one of them.

my twitpic timeline (gantz spam into the g dvd)

I didnt buy the dvd since i know that it will only give us an introduction or hype to the upcoming "GANTZ" movie. I really hope it will do well in big screens since they threw bucks of money for it and they expected kenichi and nino to deliver.But now that i have seen the contetnts of the dvd, im sad that im not rich enough to buy it. it would have been a good addition to my arashi goods.

I realized that since they are going international, maybe they would release gantz movie subbed ryt? i really hope so. I would love to have a copy of gantz that i can understand just like how it is with Letters.

ANywayz, since Im lazy, Im going to post my twitpic time line re INTO THE [G] DVD

ohoku II

highlight text if u wanna read ( so .. i cannot change the color of the font.. so if you dont wanna be spoiled, DONT READ!) . i am by mo means a professional giving a review, i'm just a fangirl giving her insights on possibly "my" most awaited movie for this year. OHOKU. 

 

I already read the manga  months after it was formally announced that nino will play a role in it.. Read it at the office while doing my office work. At first I thought, it will be just one of those period movies that will bring me back to time and tell the heroism of a certain guy. I wasnt as excited as I am now beofre, Honestly I am more xcited about the gantz movie coz of the action scenes nino will be doing.

But then again, I decided to re-read the manga a day after a certain teaser of ohoku was released. To be exact, after the **(^ scene of nino was released.  Not because of that scene but because I cannot remeber for the life of me, why is there such as scene in the movie. I knw he will have that scene but i never thought that he would actualy do it. and i mean.. REALLY DO IT with the hair still intact and not with the chonmage. SInce he will have a scne with kou with that chonmage hair, i dont think the teaser in the film is the one with kou. Maybe it is that flashbakc scene in the manga. When the poor obasan was begging for his "seed". and so maybe i should expect for more steamy scenes like that one. OMG. my poor heart. Nino's becoming soo daring with his movies.

Maybe because I'm in the office when i first read it, i didnt absorb the character that well. i only know the general idea behind the movie. and then, i re-read it.

Tthe hero in themanga aka mizuno s portrayed by nino. The guy is perfect, funny, strong, tall, kind and handsome, while my nino is small, fair-looking, and he doesnt look like a man to me.more of like a boy, brat, funny and cute. While I am convinced enough that nino has the character to play mizuno, i still caannot see him as manly. LOLS. SURPRISE ME NINO! he has the bubbly character and the looks though. ^^;;; i wanna hear good reviews on this film and possibly an award for nino. coz im sure gantz will be bombarded with criticisms from all the gantz lovers ut there, Theres just no way. i believe, that a movie addaptation will be as good as the manga. THOUGH, i must admit, kenichi matsuyama as l is PERFECT for the role. I LOVE L. just saying.

Based from the teaser, I am loving the script. I think they have kept the original lines from the manga, the comparison with the fishes in the aquarium, nino's line of thought about ohoku, th guy-guy love relationship, etc.

I love kou's character. she's perfect for the role. SHe's tough and has the character to make the guys' follow her leadership.

Tamaki, IS PREEEEETYYYYYY and we all know how good he can protray the role. i am amzed by his acting in nodame and his other doramas so therr is no doubt in me that he won't carry this role perfectly.

 

 MAKI, while i dont like her, and i dont know y.. i am conviced that her face looks almost the same as the girl in the manga. The highlight for me is not actualy mizuno entering the chmber but the love bwetween onobu and mizuno. The reason y nino chose to enter ohoku than be wed, his last wish before doing it to kou. it just soooo heartbreaking... i actually love these type of stories. haha. when the girl and the guy can't confessed their true feelings for each other. KYAAAA♥♥♥♥ I wanna see nino make a love story drama again.  :(

 I love the lines in the manga, how witty and funny mizuno's character is. how tough the shogun can be and the tough world inside ohoku. actually, there are too many good looking guys in this movie aside form the award-winning manga and script. I am actually looking forward to this movie. ♥♥♥ I might actually buy the movie dvd when it ws released. ^^

ohoku..

SOOOOOO... nino's sex scnes for ohoku was revealed yesterday night. RIght after i went to see bi's concert. There are soo many things that's on my mind that i sholud blog about before i saw that gif, but evrything puffed after i saw it. DAYM NINO. i never thought you would actully do it. you are one of those conservative typoes ryt. but for the sake of the movie. you did it. OMG. i love the look on your eyes while uhm... doing it. IT WAS SOO ARTISTICALLY SHOT. and yeah the eemotions were there.

AND LASTKY..

I CANNOT FOR THE LIFE OF ME.. UNSEE THE fucking.*oh shoot. i shouldnt have used that word* gif.

 

ps.s
