This is a well written and made movie.
I didn't read the manga or saw the anime. So my opinion is only based on watching this movie.
It has a quite good story with loads of room for the development for the characters. The story isn't unique but I actually really loved the 'parasyte' in the main person. Also they acted very good especially the main lead because it musn't have been easy to make a movie like this.
The movie is gory it has blood and dismemberd bodyparts so it isn't for everyone, I didn't expect that but this isn't for the faint hearted. But this movie keeps you on the edge, you just want to see and know more so they know how to keep you hooked. There are also little funny scenes it it, but it is really acceptable.
The special effects were great! I really liked those, it didn't look unrealistic at all. They did and amazing job in the CGI! The music was well chosen and fittend every scene.
There is a second part coming so I'll be sure to watch that but I wouldn't rewatch this movie very soon just because it is quite gory.

Watch this if you like science fiction/alien movies with gore.
Skip this if you can't handle blood and dislike CGI movies.

In all honesty, Migi did NOT look like a weirdly animated sextoy in the anime. And I also did not like how they changed the scene where Migi was taking care of him after the stab wound.

How did they make Shinichi extra cowardly in the Live-Action I do not know. In trying to capitalize on the gore they at times exaggerated the SFX, specifically the blood effects. Fight scenes were nowhere near as enjoyable as in the anime. Again, why did they change scenes? The rooftop scene was also different.

Cinematography was decent, but Migi character model was just disturbing.

As a fan of the anime I thought this was a thoroughly really good movie. The visual effects are great and the action and fight scenes are pretty badass. There's just enough gruesome gore.

The climax at the school is tense, suspenseful and shocking.

I thought the relationship between Shinichi and the mother was nice and maybe more developed than the anime. I liked the relationship between Shinichi and Murano - who was a lot more likeable than in the anime.

Migi and Shinichi's back and forth is great and faithful to the original. I also thought the music really brought a sense of epic gravitas and weight to the movie that reminded me of BvS.

I actually didn't watch this entirely, but rather skimmed a few scenes before dropping it. So, why am I writing this review? Well, my personal belief is that if you have something to say, say it:

1. Story is a bit unreal. The parasytes are capable of shapeshifting like it's a fantasy not sci-fi movie.

2. Too gory. If you're the type that likes watching ppl get killed or decapitated in the most gory, gruelsome way, then this movie is for you. My personal beliefs are that if they have to resort to sex/nudity or gore to get you to watch a movie, it probably is b/c the movie is subpar to begin with and wouldn't sell without these gimmicks.

Un film qui fait réfléchir...

Comme souvent, je n'ai pas lu le manga avant de voir ce film. Je ne suis donc pas influencée par autre chose que l'adaptation live.

Ce film commence fort avec une introduction qui peut glacer mais tellement actuelle : " Si le nombre d'être humain était réduit de moitié , le nombre de forêts calcinées serait-il diminué de moitié ? S'il ne restait qu'une centaine d'hommes, les dommages infligés seraient-ils réduits au centième eux aussi ? Quelqu'un en ce monde le pense, du moins si on tient à la survie..."
Accompagnée d'images de glaciers qui fondent, de déchets par millions... Cette introduction ne laisse certainement pas indifférent !

L'histoire du film est en somme assez "classique" pour la S-F, dans le sens où on parle d'envahisseurs qui tentent de prendre le contrôle de la Terre... Cependant, la façon dont l'histoire est traitée fait réfléchir ! Qui est réellement l'envahisseur ? "Les mangeurs de cerveaux" ou l'être humain ?
Durant le film, on nous montre ces créatures évoluées en côtoyant les êtres humains... Elles apprennent à communiquer et se comporter comme des humains afin de se cacher dans la masse. Elles évoquent leur alimentation à base d'humain et compare avec l'être humain qui tue tant pour se nourrir... Alors, qui est réellement le monstre ? C'est la question que se pose Migi, l'envahisseur de Shinichi.
Migi est un être qui n'a pas réussi à s'implanter dans le cerveau de son hôte, de ce fait, il a pris possession de la mains de droite de Shinichi. Leurs interactions apportent beaucoup à l'histoire puisqu'on voit leur évolution à force de se côtoyer. Peu à peu, la vision de Shinichi sur le monde change... Est-ce un bien ou un mal ? L'histoire nous l'apprendra...

Ce film étant considéré comme horrifique, nous avons notre lot de mort horrible... Du sang, des corps découpés, des transformations assez glauque... Mais contrairement aux derniers films/dramas que j'ai vu du genre, je trouve les effets spéciaux réussi !

En conclusion, ce film qui n'a peut-être pas l'air "folichon" parle de faits sociétaux et porte un jugement sur les dégâts réaliser par l'être humain ! Et finalement, qui est plus un "monstre" que l'être humain lui-même...

Ps: Je tiens à préciser pour ceux qui lirait ce commentaire que je suis loin d'être végétarienne (même si je suis pas une grande fan de viande) donc mon avis n'est pas conditionné par une pratique alimentaire.
