Despite living in the middle of no-where, I was lucky enough to have it showing where I lived. I was unable to make the trip, however, two of my good friends were kind enough to provide me with an in-depth review of the movie. So without further ado, I present the Gantz movie review!"
"Your lives have ended / how you use your new lives is entirely up to me / that's the way the cookie crumbles." How would you react if your life was suddenly over and you were put into a room filled with weirdos? How would you react when you are sent on a mission to kill aliens? Such is the premise of Gantz. Press on to find out why this movie is so good.
It's worth the money, as the reviewer says "Gantz: Perfect Answer is one of my favourite films of this year, and it has only just begun. "

The Gantz movie pushe’ all the wrong buttons for the manga readers that know how brilliant the story is. All the gore, sex, nudity and overall coarseness are what make Gantz more enjoyable and sadly the movie has none of that. It is at this point that I would defend the movie by saying that individuals who didn’t read the manga would enjoy it. Sadly that’s not the case, the Gantz movie is just a confused mess, (yepp! that’s how bad it is), with cool graphics of course. This is the reason why we were staying away from the movie for so long, it’s our incessant fear of being disappointed and movie adaptations are definitely on our blacklist.
Nerd Reactor: GANTZ is a Japanese live-action movie based on the anime and manga of the same name. Adaptations are always a mixed bag, but one thing’s for sure, GANTZ is one of the better ones. I should have guessed so since it is from the same producers as the Death Note live-action movies, which were also good adaptations.
