A Whole Lot Of Awesomeness

If you thought your board exams were difficult, think again because Class 3E is being tested on their assassination skills. Also ridiculed as the "End Class," the students of Class 3E are considered to be the on the lowest rung of the academic scale.

In comes Koro-sensei, an extra-terrestrial being with yellow tentacles and a yellow balloon for a face who has destroyed 70% of the moon and promises to do the same to Earth by March next year. In the mean time, he pretty much hires himself as the firm teacher of class 3E.

Thus begins the journey of how the students of Class 3E become the assassination classroom (title drop!). They get trained to use "student-friendly" knives and bullets which will be safe for them but lethal against the alien Koro-sensei.

If you plan to watch this movie for action scenes and gore then don't. While Assassination Classroom delivers quite well on action scenes as the students orchestrate and carry out assassination attempts, the movie is more of a light comedy with many heartfelt moments. The students slowly develop a bond with Koro-sensei as he teaches them to be better people, better students and better assassins (to kill him better! Hoy! Hoy! Hoy!) I did not expect to find myself crying (happy and sad tears) over Assassination Classroom, but I did.

There is nothing that I disliked about Assassination Classroom. I would have loved to see more of the other characters but I understand that the movie is adapted from a huge original material. More power to AC because I didn't feel any holes, moreover, I liked how they didn't concentrate on just two or four students.

The premise is absurd, the acting is moderate, the presentation is over-the-top but it is highly entertaing and engaging, surprisingly endearing and ends on a mysterious note about Koro-sensei’s past that will be explored in the sequel movie along with other graduation shenanigans.
