Wooow, this movie is a must watch for every fan of boxing. I was expecting a good fighting movie and it turned out to be so much more than that. The story has a very deep meaning and it's really surprising. The actors were prepared very well, they fought like real boxers. I know that many people think that Yamapi is not a very good actor. I hope that after watching this movie they will change their opinion because his acting was so awesome here, he was always good in my opinion but in Ashita no Joe he is just amazing. The music matched the atmosphere of the movie perfectly and I love Utada's song

If you like fight movies with a good ending then this is your kind of movie.
It starts off with Joe getting into trouble and events lead him to the prison where he begins to follow the lessons from the "old man" on boxing. After getting into a couple more fights he meets the guy who makes him want to really get into boxing by basically Joe just wanting to just beat him.
It shows the intense training and how hard they work up for their fight together.
If there was much music in the movie I didn't really notice since I was too busy watching all the fighting haha.
Some scenes might be a little sad but the ending and movie as a whole I'd say was good. read more

Its a very good and well made movie overall. Althought its far from perfect i believe any fan of sports will be able to enjoy it.

My main problem with it was that altough it was deep and serious there were many elements that stood out and damaged the atmoshphere. I think crazy freakish looking coach didnt fit the movie at all. He was supposed to be there for guidance but in the end did very little.
And when your main protagonist is extremely silent you need charismatic people around him to make the movie more engaging.

The fights themselves were also too focused on a single boxing move so they felt kinda silly at times. The overdone slow motion effects didnt help either. On top of that the whole thing was really silent and could have used some music.

Also i found the set up for the ending(not the ending itself) pretty underwhelming. I would have hoped for something more special.

I would have prefered if they had tried to make this movie super realistic dark and gritty set in modern times rather than the early 20th century but it is still enjoyable and worth a watch. read more
