I have not yet had the pleasure of reading the original Manga of the same name, and as with many other live action adaptations, can understand if the films have to leave out or change material to make the production work...
I can't speak for this film series, but what I do know is that it is huge!
Both huge on characters and story, you can forgive any slip ups it may have in trying to pack in as much as possible in the name of entertainment. And entertain it most certainly does. The first hour introduces most of the characters via childhood flashbacks and reunions offering up some great moments and plenty of funny scenes.
Once we reach the second hour, the action kicks in and the madness begins!
I just love this film and its sequels. The cast is fantastic and to be honest, I can't really think of a thing to complain about. Its intense, its funny, its big and its well worth a watch if you are looking something a little different.
