Softwing Most undeservingly overhyped movie of all time??

Freaktana A Major Disappointment

Kidskycom It's funny watching the elements come together in this complicated scam. On one hand, the set-up isn't quite as complex as it seems, but there's an easy sense of fun in every exchange.

Kinley This movie feels like it was made purely to piss off people who want good shows

Solomon Orlando After watching dozens of zombie flicks, you tend to notice that they hordes of undead are similarly conceptualized. That isn't to say the movies are necessarily bad, but without adding anything new to the genre, I normally don't anticipate zombie movies being very good.While Shinsuke Sato may not appear to add revolutionary depth to the zombie trope, I was thoroughly engaged by the amount of twists and turns they put into the enemy design (literally). The contorting, writhing movements of the zombies in this film definitely add to the fear of their aggression.The CGI didn't fail either, adding a visceral and grotesque motif to the monsters through darkened veins, swiveling eyes, and surrealistic abilities. Overall, it adds to the gory thrill-ride this movie takes you on and even supplements these conceptions with a well-wrought story and engaging characters.Speaking of, all the characters felt fresh. The characters that make up the protagonist group are all fleshed out nicely. Their personalities match their actions and their personal growth over some of the problems the movie presents makes their character development all the more satisfying.The only downside would be that I wanted more. Not necessarily in a sequel, but there are some portions of the film that had me pining for answers. I wish that some of the longer battles would be toned down in length so that I could explore the narrative developments of the characters, but that's a small qualm with this movie overall.If you are looking for a riveting story with an interesting take on the zombie trope, I would suggest watching I Am a Hero. The effects are great, characters are written well, and the overall idea behind the film is a great one.

Neil Right from the start I wish to say I know nothing of the Manga that this was based on, so it is purely a film based review. Poor old Suzuki, the misunderstood artist, who gets looked over on all his work at the Manga office.On top of that, his girlfriend Tekko, also had had enough of his lack of skills/luck & they seem to fight a lot. She then tosses him out of their flat. There is a re-union (of sorts) later when he goes back to see her & some of the best SFX I have seen by Tekko therein.A newscaster reads about a person being bitten by a dog, then quickly changes that to a 'dog was bitten by a person' & so the Zombie invasion begins.These creatures are so quick, unlike other Zombie movies ones & the mad scramble to get out of the city begins.I think this movie has something for everyone.

Paul Magne Haakonsen "I am a Hero" was a movie that just came out of nowhere and would have slipped past me unnoticed, if I hadn't happened to come across it by some sheer cosmic luck. And what is more impressive is that the fact that this is a zombie movie, and still it almost managed to elude me, especially since I am huge fan of everything zombiesque.This 2015 movie actually turns out to be one of the more entertaining and solid of Japanese zombie movies. Japan has a tendency of combining the zombie genre with too much comedy, which often makes for a somewhat questionable result. Or they tend to have very poor special effects, which usually makes it painful to watch on the screen. "I am a Hero", however, didn't fall into these traps, and that was a refreshing change of pace.The movie starts out in an adequate pace, but it quickly escalates into a much more fast paced movie and storyline, which did suit the movie quite well.As a zombie movie, it is quite important that the special effects are good and believable, and luckily "I am a Hero" had just that. The movie combines the traditional shambling decaying walking animated corpses with something new. But it was a nice approach and a nice angle to the genre, and as such it was a refreshing change of pace for the zombie genre. Lots of great special effects and zombie make-up.There is a good amount of action throughout the course of the movie, spiced up with some drama and just a pinch of comedy, which made for a rather enjoyable cocktail.A zombie movie must have blood and guts. There is also a good amount of blood and gore in "I am a Hero", which is definitely a crucial thing for a zombie movie to have."I am Hero" also have some really intense scenes where the audience get their adrenaline pumping. Such scenes are, for example, the scene with the zombie in the taxi, and also the scene exiting the mall.All in all, then "I am a Hero" is a rather entertaining and enjoyable movie. It is a fast paced story that mixed elements from different genres quite well. And "I am a Hero" puts Japan solidly on the world map of zombie movies. And if you enjoy zombie movies, then you should definitely take the time to check out "I am a Hero", and if you enjoy Asian cinema, well then you get a double up on goodies here.

pinokiyo 6.5/10 I really don't care for zombie movies, but I did enjoy Zombieland; it's great because it doesn't take itself too seriously and it has humor. This film also has some memorable comedic creepy/moments. What also makes this film unique is that Japan has a law where regular citizens can't carry guns, so circumstance makes it a lot different where zombie films that takes place in America can carry machine guns or other crazy weapons. However, the main character has an exception with a hunting shotgun. I know people are so obsessed and fascinated by zombies and watch or play zombie games religiously like a cult. I'm not really one of them, so I don't have any bias by immediately giving a zombie movie 10 stars just because it's cool seeing zombies walking around and being blown up; I really could care less about that. However, that being said, this film can compete among Hollywood zombie films. I was pretty impressed with the special effects - that's definitely the highlight of this film. Obviously, the story is straightforward. The zombies in this one is rather ridiculous borderline comical/scary/creepy. For a foreign Japanese, non-Hollywood film, the production value is pretty damn good where it almost feels like Hollywood.I noticed a lot of the staff crew/special effects were Korean names during the ending credits, so it seems to be a collaboration. Yo Oizumi is a famous guy in Japan, who plays the lead goofball nerdy character. He fit the role pretty well. Also, Kasumi Arimura, the girl he has to protect, is super cute. Probably a fun film to watch with a group of friends.I'm sure they could make a part 2: Mt. Fuji. You pay an arm and a leg to buy a Rolax... literally, it's worth that amount.
