If you enjoy comedy, action, parody, anime and their live-action adaptation, and most of all, absurdness, look no further, "Gintama" was made for you. Go to Full Review

2.25/5
Despite visual charm... the movie still suffers from many of the pitfalls of a big-budget American superhero joint: self-conscious in-jokes, bloated runtime and bad CGI. Go to Full Review
James Marsh South China Morning Post Aug 15, 2017
2/5
While this chaotic mash-up of sci-fi and period drama aesthetics triggers a relentless sugar rush of visual stimuli, Gintama proves an exhausting and alienating experience for the uninitiated. Go to Full Review

2.5/5
This film adaptation does not take itself seriously, which is a good thing, but, on the other hand, it can come across as scattershot. Go to Full Review

Oguri spends much screen time with finger inserted in nostril prospecting for nose gold, one of several gross running gags. Go to Full Review

Nov 1, 2018 Love it! The comedy and the drama :")))) cant wait for the next movie!!!
Hagrid W Jun 7, 2018 A film that earnestly attempts to stay true to its source material. And when your source material is "Gin Tama", one of the most eccentrically creative and original manga/animes in Japanese history-- it works out very well. The film is both comedically excellent and visually stunning. Highly recommended for fans of sci-fi, action, anime, futurism, and comedic timing that transcends international sensibilities. See more
Mar 30, 2018 For a live action adaptation of an anime, it is one of the best ones I have seen. Pretty faithfull to the original sources but, adding a few of it's owb charms. For people who do not know the anime or manga it can and would be confuseing at points, the movie even states that itself. The visuals are great and the character personalities are kept on point. It is a good recap of a popular story arc from the series. See more
Harry S Nov 19, 2017 A genuinely funny, colourful, action-packed romp through mangaka Hideaki Sorachi's satirical sci-fi version of Edo-period Japan. Well-acted, competently directed, and just as intensely weird as the source material. See more
Harry R Nov 15, 2017 As an anime/manga fan, I'm very sceptical when it comes to live action adaptation movie although this year Ghost in the Shell is surprisingly good but not until the Gintama live action movie it finally blew me away. Gintama is my all time favourite comedy anime and probably the hardest anime to make a adaptation cause the whole series is a one big anime/manga parody but thanks to the director for understanding the source material all the jokes and references pull out very well. The cast definitely have a blast while making the movie cause not only they look very close but also portrayed very well all the beloved characters in the series. The production value is good when they manage to recreate all the little details and important aspect of the movie. Non-anime fan also can enjoy this movie and cause they choose the Benizakura arc which is the most easy arc to know all the characters. My problem is there not enough screen time for some character and one of the main villain of the series is Shinsuke Takasugi pretty laughable. There still some fan favourite side characters need to be introduce and the fight scene need to be better choreographed but I believe this is a good step for live action movie right now. See more
