It was ok.

>>150918401
movie wasn't bad. emily blunt is my 3d waifu. I actually expected a lot worse before I watched it, so it was a pleasant surprise when it turned out to be pretty good.

>>150918401
Take your facebook memes back to facebook.

Eh, I enjoyed it. Prefer the movie over manga actually.

Certainly has a better title.

>thinking this is a bad live anime adaptation

Anon, you CLEARLY have not seen some of the crap that japan has pumped out. If anything this is probably a decent adaptation as far as adaptations go

It was good

Edge of Tomorrow was fucking good senpai.

>>150918401
I liked it. Was more of an adaption of the concept.

I enjoyed both but view both as separate entities that share a theme.

that's why you leave the adaptations to USA fucking gooks

>>150918745

Yes

>>150918745
USA harem LN adaptions when?

>>150918401
it's a start for live action movie adaption
the bar isn't really set high, but it's probably the best adaption by a american studio making a movie based off a manga

>>150918745
And then there's Dragonball Evolution.

the SAO live action will be the same as Evolution

Death note

>>150918913
Isn't the live action planned as a TV series?

edge of tomorrow has been probably the first adaptation.

>>150918913
wait, any source?
all I find is fan-made "live actions" that worsen my cancer

>>150918401
It was LN adaptation.
Wasn't half bad though I wouldn't really call it adaptation because it was based on the book very loosely and besides basic premise of bad aliens attacking and time loops almost everything else was changed.

This is the man playing L in the american adaptation of Death Note. Now I'm not /pol/ but at some point you have to ask if its a little bit ridiculous to have a rugged black man portraying a fragile sleep deprived Japanese autist.

>>150918401
Actually it was passable, rare but yea.

>>150919023
Gotta get the audiences cultural enriched somehow.

>>150919023
I agree. My issue is not with the black wash, but how much he doesn't appear to look the part.

Guess they're going a different route with the characters.

>>150919023
If you think about it, the design behind L was to make you think "This guy is supposed to be L?"

So when you apply it to this, it becomes rather racist.

>>150919022
>almost everything else was changed.

>ice queen waifu who already went through this

Nigga it was exactly the same. Worthless details like who can eat more sour plumbs and whether or not he started using a melee weapon are irrelevant- same as the dumb filler they decided to supplant it with.

I have to admit I actually liked it when I was a kid.

Speed Racer is still the best anime adaptation.

>that entire final lap race

Still the best thing ever.

>>150919023
If we had seen tidbits of his character acting as L and it was unconvincing then I would agree but you're just judging him as face-value, here. He's not particularly "rugged" for a black man and so far nothing tells us he can't play the part.

>>150918401
>ba..

I want reddit to leave

>>150919112
Huh, wow, never saw it that way.

It was good and I'm glad they're working on a sequel. Hope it involves cage stuck looping back to after that battle after a long life.

>>150919140
Who's mah nigga? You're my nigga!

>>150919197
They had a visual representation of L and still decided to go completely off the rails. I mean, maybe he might be great and I probably won't see it because live actions are usually awful but man, they really went out of their way to change L's appearance.

>>150919197
not him, but I've seen the guy and he's not frail looking at all.

I like how in the AoT adaptations titans just look like regular Japanese parents

>>150919222
I know I read it somewhere, but I don't remember where. On the DN wiki, it says

>Obata speaks of his concern, during the development of the early manga chapters, that L would appear to be "so suspicious that Light would know instantly it was L if they ever met."

>>150919023
Depends, are they doing a straight adaptation or just taking the basic plot and making it their own thing?

>>150919501
I have no clue, I just saw it on the news. I'm kind of hoping they just say fuck it and change everything. We've already got a sub par live action Death Note. Might as well just try something new with the material.

>>150919399
>"so suspicious that Light would know instantly it was L if they ever met."
Isn't that how it ended up being? Light meet L and he immediately knew he was weird that he basically accepted right away that he was very likely the real L.

>>150919260
Might be because I'm simply not hung up on that kind of stuff but to me L's appearance was never a core element of his character (as opposed to say, Light's handsomeness for instance). His attitude, mannerisms and quirks were much more important imo. So yeah, if the dude can pull of the scrawny sleep-deprived weirdo act just fine, no reason to complain on my end.

>>150919264
I don't know man, doesn't seem particularly rugged to me.

>>150919572
That was actually a major tension point in the story. When they're in the testing hall and Light KNEW it was him. It ended up being the catalyst for the next several chapters.
>>150919583
yeah I guess you're right, maybe I'm just a bit too hung up on the appearance since I'm a lot more visually focused when it comes to learning and such. Who knows, maybe, it actually be good.

>>150919647
>When they're in the testing hall and Light KNEW it was him.
Oh yeah, when their eyes meet the first time. Jesus it's been so long since I read the manga.

Would've made more sense to have them reversed, Light's actor looks more autistic. Would still be weird though.

First half was good but second half (when they leave the beach) was kinda boring.

The book is much better.

that movie was really good compared to the usual shit hollywood craps out. it actually tried to be fun.

>>150922826
This. What seperated this from other alien invasion movies was that it was "massive human army engages massive alien army", sort of like Starship Troopers. But once they made it past the beach it become your standard "small squad of spec ops soldiers single-handedly save the world"

But overall it was a pretty good film.

Eh, things that work in anime don't always work in live action, sometimes you gotta muddle stuff around. Especially to make it resonate with the audience shift.

After all these years,this scene is still so satisfactory,there's nothing like it.

>Edge of Tomorrow is great, even better than the source material
Stop this fucking shit.

Original is a story of a young soldier growing up on the battlefield, with a bittersweet ending where he takes on the burden of his dead waifu and will, just like her, spend his life in the battle until the same thing happens to him and he leaves her legacy to the next person.

Movie is a story about a dude cheesing his way through every obstacle only to reach a typical sappy Hollywood ending because the world-destroying ayys have a conveniently placed Overmind right there and nobody dies because lol one last time shift.

It was good because it had good budget and professional cast in comparison to all other LA adaptations, but it suffers from Hollywood taking control of the plot and making it the same cookie cutter action movie as they always do.

>>150919023
Your dad didn't mind when a bunch of western actors filled the roles of the adapted 'Seven Samurai' previously held and portrayed by Japanese actors. And admit it, a bunch of non-weeaboos aren't gonna dish out money for theater tickets to see the original from Japan.

There's always the chance that it'll do just fine.

>>150924373
>looks like a fucking weirdo next to everyone else
yup, pretty in character to me

>>150919544
>sub par
You take that back. The ending makes it decent at least.

>>150918401
More "adaptations" should follow its standard. If you're going to make it different from the original and only take certain inspirations from it, then make a new name instead of slapping the original name on there for brand appeal like that shit they're calling "Ghost in the Shell".
