I personally think this is a good movie. As in, it's a typical Japanese movie with emphasis and exaggeration on the gestures, facial expressions, the eyes and the hair and the eyebrows - which at times may be dramatic and funny or silly but it's okay I get it. The plot is also predictable but again I think it's a typical Japanese way of presentation on optimism and positivity and the never-give-up spirit. At least the fights are very well presented and nicely shot. I'm not sure why the overall rating is this low, this movie definitely deserves more appreciation and positive reviews. I enjoyed the two-hour movie and didn't think a minute was wasted. Very entertaining overall.
