Just a reminder to those attending Gantz premiere in US on 20th January, different from the rating in Japan (PG12) the movie is rated R according to a member of mangahelper forum who bought a ticket.

You can compare the worldwide rating system here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Motion_picture_rating_system


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

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!

HAHA R?

Because of Mr Powerhouse's reputation? XD

Or because Gantz shouldn't be anything lower than an R. I'm just happy because this probably means they didn't censor much of the gore and nudity.

My thoughts exactly. There's no way they could stay true to the original story and be anything less than an R.

...because the original manga is extremely violent and sexually explicit? Unless the movie is acted out by hand puppets completely sanitised of all its gore, violence and nudity - which is sort of essential to Gantz - no way is it getting less than an R.

WTF...?!?!
I'm 15 SO I CAN'T SEE IT WITHOUT AN ADULT?? ;AA;
According to wiki... *sobs* nononononononononooooooo
(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.)

>_> I need to find an adult-that-is-not-my-parent.

Haha I was hoping you'd do that, but I'm assuming you're not going to NYC? ><

Thank youu, but I'm losing hope. ;-; All the older people I know that might come are 19/20. Dx

we were, but we found out that a cinema 30 minutes away is showing it... i'm sorry!! if it wasn't a school/work night, we totally would've made this an excuse to go to NYC.

i'd try making a post on je_us_fans if i were you. they're probably gonna have a meet-up :3

Ohh well~ I hope you have fun at least! xP

There actually is a NJ meet-up apparently (but I think only one person is going, maybe I'll talk to her and get her to bring me LOL) though I'll look for more opportunities, like if in NYC..

I'm the same! My friends and I were planning to go see it, but all of them are 17, while I'm 3 months shy of being 17 -____- We were trying to get our sensei to see it with us, but if she can't, we might just ask a random 21+ person to acts as my guardian lol

That's a heartening review. I'm sure the film will be great...though I am nervous about the dubbing. But wtf at Nino looking funny in his suit? That is called appropriate casting. (Although a Schwartzenegger-type cast as Kurono would have been a whole new source of entertainment in itself.)
From: [identity profile] agentduckiechan.livejournal.com
I find it amusing how different the fangirls' responses are to the ("OMG NEEN IS SO HOT!!!!1!!!1 etc.") to Gray's response ("so slight..."). Maybe he didn't watch/read the original material, although there's really no denying how slight Nino is.

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.

*that's supposed to say "positive" - I pressed M instead of the comma. FAIL lol

"Fangirl or no, I think he's perfect for Kurono myself."
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

I want to watch this movie but I heard that it was dubbed for the US premiere. If that's so I'll rather not watch it unless there are English subtitles. Listening to a dubbed video is stupid because it's not the same actors and actresses conveying the same emotions.

You are lucky enough to get the movie AND the actors. Some of us other here are not that lucky...You should go...

I'm not saying that I won't watch it but I'll rather wait longer for the dvd to be released with the original Japanese audio.

lol there was so much wank the first time people began complaining about the dub... but even so, I agree completely with you. It's weird for me as an Arashi & J-drama fan to hear Nino dubbed, because of the nuances and emotions that get taped over.

...I'm still watching it, though :Dv

As, but seeing it in the movie theater will be awesome! Just bring some friends...and maybe some headphones.

Uh this sucks! I need my mom to see this since I'm 14! I think me and my friend are going to be laughing to death when we see the movie and hear Nino's dubbed voice!

I would've been happy if they used the N16 or N17 rating instead. But heaven forbid the rating people ever use one of those ratings.

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.

If I saw this in the theater, I'll be doing the same thing (especially if it's Nino-related). Good job! :)

Kinda still wanna go... buuut, Thursday? Hnnnn. Well, R ratings don't really matter to me, since I'm old enough and all.

I'm really excited about this movie *__*
I mean, yeah Nino's in it with a nice suit haha..but I'm also looking forward to the action scenes and how good the CG is *___* bahhaha

&&..a kinda..random question? I'm kinda wondering if a lot of people already bought their ticket? xDD;; I'm debating whether I should purchase it online or the day of it o__o;;

I've got mine already. Fandango only charges $1.25 extra, which is worth it to me for the peace of mind. (I know there's like a 2% chance the movie will be sold out, but still!)
