a5c7b9f00b Kato&#39;s (Ken&#39;ichi Matsuyama) death changes Kurono&#39;s (Kazunari Ninomiya) view of life completely. He decides to keep fighting until he earns 100 points so that he can bring back Kato. GANTZ calls back several other unwilling participants that were allowed to leave after scoring 100 points. Before Kurono succeeds in resurrecting Kato, he unexpectedly comes back. GANTZ and the fighters take on another enemy worse than ever before. To make matters worse, GANTZ starts acting up. GANTZ chooses the next target… this time it&#39;s not an alien but a human girl. Each unwilling participant in GANTZ&#39;s twisted game has a different motive for fighting, whether to protect a loved one or to do what they think is right. What a way to ruin one of the best mangas of all time. What a mess.<br/><br/>The first film was decent although a bit boring, roughly followed the manga.. dragged on some scenes and unnecessarily skipped other important ones, but it is understandable due to limited time. Ending was changed a lot but still recoverable from this error in judgment.<br/><br/>This time however very very little went according to the excellent story in the manga. There was so much potential, but wasted.. the last invasion arc would have made an excellent film, but this was too early for that of course. .but even just some of the finer missions would have been fine. I can think of at least 3 of similar caliber to the ending of the first film.. not exactly sure at which part the plot was in 2011 but still.<br/><br/>Acting was fine, action pretty cool, but the plot was a mess and pure wasted potential. Just read the manga.. and weep. Okay so i&#39;ll outline the fact that my rating of the film is bias based on my opinion of the manga. Having said that i do give credit where credit is due.<br/><br/>Well i was slightly skeptical of the film before i watched it, since i wondered how it could compare to the manga. The next few arcs in the manga (after what the first film detailed) is where it actually kicks off and gets really engulfing with the characters, the relationships and the aliens. To my surprise though this film doesn&#39;t actually continue along the manga&#39;s story and instead tries to make up a new story of it&#39;s own. The problem with this is that the film needs to work out what it&#39;s trying to say in the story. Unfortunately we are left with more questions than answers and a pretty shaky story to hold it all on.<br/><br/>Now moving onto some good points, the cinematography was good, the action scenes started well, but dragged slightly towards the end of the film. The acting was okay…goodany other live-action Japanese film. i think that might actually be it.<br/><br/>My conclusion is the film might be very slightly better than my rating for anyone who has only seen the first film and not read the manga. Their is a lot of scenes and actions in the film that happen and are unexplained or have no relevancefari can see. Beyond the poor makeshift story the film still tries to convey the depth of human actions and emotions. But for me it was too little in a film that didn&#39;t seem to have enough attention paid to it.<br/><br/>P.S Just remembered - this doesn&#39;t even have the third option when getting 100 points. i guess it keeps it from opening the story up to the fact that their are more Gantz teams all over the world. intrigued? thought so.
