Reviews
Cathardincu Surprisingly incoherent and boring
Hadrina The movie's neither hopeful in contrived ways, nor hopeless in different contrived ways. Somehow it manages to be wonderful
Robert Joyner The plot isn't so bad, but the pace of storytelling is too slow which makes people bored. Certain moments are so obvious and unnecessary for the main plot. I would've fast-forwarded those moments if it was an online streaming. The ending looks like implying a sequel, not sure if this movie will get one
Abegail Noëlle While it is a pity that the story wasn't told with more visual finesse, this is trivial compared to our real-world problems. It takes a good movie to put that into perspective.
Raven Oh dear, where do I start with this one... I know! I shall first give it the title of "So bad it's good", to a Black Butler fan at least (Not knowing the Anime will make the film a little bit more interesting). As Black Butler fans my cousin and I did indeed get a few laughs out of it, though i doubt most of the laughs were meant by the director.To tell the truth the characters are boring although i did find myself having one favorite, and that would be the reincarnation of Madam Red, and it's only really because she at least was not bound by the original character too much, unlike the unoriginal copies of Ciel and May Rin.Fans of the show might also be a bit surprised to find that instead of being in the Victorian era (which suited the show wonderfully) the film is set in a (semi-)modern world. Then again anime live actions aren't known for being the best.But I digress, it's not too bad if you haven't seen the anime and if you have prepare yourself for the funniest yet cringiest retelling of the first couple episodes with a weird twist.
luzpat Kuroshitsuji is one my favorites anime and manga and I did like the movie. It is obviously not even nearly as great as the manga and the anime are but I think it wasn't a truly bad movie; tough I have to say the reason for me not to be disappointed was that I wasn't expecting much... In fact I was expecting to totally hate it. I think if you're not a fan of the anime and/or the manga you're going to like it; if you are, then you have to watch it with an open mind. In my opinion it's nearly impossible to pay tribute to such a great story, as Kuroshitsuji is, in a single movie but the people involved in the creation of this one made a good try. I specially enjoyed the effort of the actor who played Sebastian and most of the action scenes; specially the Rin's one (OK, OK, I loved that scene... please don't judge me). Judge for yourself but I think you're not going to regret giving it a chance... Just don't expect the awesomeness of the original story and of all of the characters... the manga is so good it sets the bar too damn high, be reasonable before judging. PS: Pardon my English.
escamillakyoko This movie is pretty much every little white girls dream on the anime and manga series spat into one big mess of a movie. Modern day setting? Check. Female Ciel? Check. Ciel and Sebastian love story? Check. I'm still scratching my head at how somebody sat down and thought that this would be a good addition to such a fantastic series and even worse at the fact that it got approved. It has no redeeming features, even if you try, like I did after the first 15 minutes, as a completely different movie not from the franchise. It is just all around bad. Want to watch a really bad movie that at least tried to keep in check with your favorite anime? go watch the death note movies. I would not recommend this even if you were on a death bed of bordem.
Digitalpimp004 I don't even consider this a review,I would say that its more of a warning. Anyone who is a fan of the anime series or the graphic novels shouldn't even think about viewing this movie.Because you are going to be very disappointed.As the fella who had written the review before mine said,and I quote "Its not a part of the story" This movie never happened as far as i'm concerned.Here is just a small sample of some of the stupidity that is this film.I don't consider this a spoiler but just in case then be warned.They changed the sex of the protagonist from a male to a female.Also,I don't remember there being any love in the series.The anime series or the manga was never a love story.But if your not a fan of the series then you might just like it.
