Awesome action and a charming lead actor.
Gantz felt much shorter than its runtime, what with its myriad of cool action scenes and the storyline which chugs along nicely. The fight scenes are violently bad*** and innovative. The main actors were all likable, especially the lead, Kazunari Ninomiya, whose expressions and body language seemed to cross any language barrier. He was funny, charming, and convincing as an action star. The only thing which would have made me like the movie more is if it had been subtitled instead of dubbed. Going in I thought reluctantly that it might be a good idea to have it dubbed since it's fast-paced but afterward I am sure that the benefits of dubbing would have been far outweighed by the benefits of hearing the actual voices, especially given that hearing the dialogue in incongruous, ill-fitting voices frequently had the audience laughing, and not in a good way. Everything else was wonderful and I'm so glad I traveled so I could see it in theaters. Gantz is bad***!
