Jason Gray (writer of CNNgo article here) had posted a tweet review in his blog after attending the pre-release around early December last year.
GANTZ (potential spoilers) 1: As a movie somewhat episodic but entertaining enough action romp with some memorable sequences and decent cast 5:08 PM Dec 7th via web
GANTZ (potential spoilers) 2: Ninomiya and Matsuyama share screen time but it's Ninomiya's film character-wise. 5:09 PM Dec 7th via web
GANTZ (potential spoilers) 3: Ninomiya is believable / naturalistic, with nerd->power tripper->using-power-for-good character arc 5:11 PM Dec 7th via web
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
Please go to his post to read the rest of the spoiler-ish tweets.
Hoping this will be a hit worldwide!

Date: 2011-01-08 08:03 pm (UTC)acted out by hand puppetscompletely sanitised of all its gore, violence and nudity - which is sort of essential to Gantz - no way is it getting less than an R.no subject

(I've read the manga, I'm pretty sure I can handle it on screen lol, which I'm sure won't even be as bad.)

Date: 2011-01-08 08:08 pm (UTC)Fangirl or no, I think he's perfect for Kurono, myself. :D Glad this review is positivem although I too am iffy about the dub.

Date: 2011-01-09 02:01 pm (UTC)Couldn't agree more. Casting in general is pretty spot-on, from what I know of the actors. And if the movie'z episodic, well, that fits the manga. Everything seems to point towards a really careful adaptation. ( Although frankly, Neen + Gantz suit is enough for me.) ;P

Date: 2011-01-09 03:10 am (UTC)Anyway for the dubbed thing. I'm not as worried as I used to be. I think VIZ did a great job at dubbing Death Note, and using the anime cast. I think it would be great if they could get Chris Ayres to dub, since he did the anime voice. That really is the best one could ask for when it comes to dubbing.
