i was expecting to love this movie, but meh. kind of silly and over-acted, being shot with a machine gun dropping to the ground waving your legs in the air and then getting right back up sort of stuff. painful to watch at times - this is definitely not something i ever want to sit through again.

@BugZ : Hollywood is terrified about showing a child's/teenagers death. Let alone a bloody one... So I'm not very hopeful a good remake will happen.

I didn't like it that much. It was too cheesy and a somewhat poorly explained for my taste.

It's a good movie, but it is not as good as the book. I missed some parts of the story, like Shuya's passion for music and Mitsuko with those two boys that she killed. I think that the story would be better adapted as a tv show with 8~10 episodes.

First off, if you’re watching this in an English speaking country, you likely have to watch it with the English dubbing. The dubbing is awful, and makes all the characters seem cartoonish and goofy.

In the book, characters are allowed to develop a lot more, which is obviously a luxury the movi More
