The acting is pretty decent overall, where needs to be. Having Shiina Kippei keeping a straight face within such a ridicule event is hilarious. That guy is hilarious overall, but he can manage cool roles as well. Our protagonist Yamada Ryosuke managed to keep us interested in his character while keepincg himself out of the spotlight. It is weird that sometimes it feels he doesn't have much presence and I think that was the intention with the character to begin with. Conversely Masaki Suda was the one overshadowed everyone just by being on screen. He played a badass character and he played it coolly.
Like most school shows, there was a lot about working together to achieve a certain goal, getting motivated to look for different path and whatnot. It does give important lessons in an interesting way. There are also politics, like school unfairness they have to deal with and having a back plan in life to fall back to so there is always hope to succeed.
Overall enjoyable, not too preachy, decent performance and well casted. If anything I think it'll be entertaining and and fun to watch. I can't wait for the sequel ;)

I’ll leave aside the plot, you all know it.
Let’s start by saying that I heard a lot of people saying that this movie is a little bit sloppy.
I didn’t watch the anime nor I have read the manga.
When it comes to live action based on manga otaku or just big fans of the story like to complain about the cast and the adaptation.
In this case I think it wasn't needed.
The cast, a pretty young one (not talking about Suda and Yamada) , is a good cast.
Suda, played Karma amazingly.
Talking about him, I’m always satisfied with his acting. He’s one of the best young actors in Japan ( if I had to make a list, I think he will rock the first place to be honest), and this time too He proved that he can easily play a cold and sarcastic character without being boring.
He had few scenes but He has done them all well.
Talking about Yamada, he’s amazing and it’s such a shame that he played a boring character like Nagisa.
A lot of people bashed his acting here but I think that he’s not at fault. His performance was good, extremely good, but I think that this character wasn’t meant for him.
He’s so talented, his acting skills were wasted on Nagisa.
And now, Kazunari.
I will recommend this movie just for his amazing job as a dubber.
He was the main star here, overshadowing even Yamada and Suda.
I hate seeing people calling him “ a pretty average actor” because in this movie you can feel his charisma just by hearing his voice.
He wasn’t physically there but you could tell what his facial expressions were or his moves just by hearing is warm and nasty voice.
In conclusion, I’ll give this movie 7 out of 10 because it was well made.
This doesn’t look like a review at all. Just my thoughts on this movie.

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.

Fantastic Live Adaptation!
I read the manga and loved it. When I heard there was going to be a live drama adaptation I was really worried how it would turn out. How could they make it like the manga, which is over the top with effects, and yet seem realistic?I was seriously impressed. The CGI was really well done. Korosensei was incredible - if there were ever a big yellow tentacle monster in real life, this is exactly how he would move and look. Kudos to the special effects team.
The acting of all the characters was excellent. I read negative reviews about Nagisa going in, but I think the actor read the manga very carefully because he nailed it. He played his character right down to the mannerisms in the manga. The other cast was great too. Obviously in two hours, you can’t get all the characters’ stories, but it is a great cover of all the things that happened in multiple volumes.
I will rewatch it again. I would recommend to anyone who likes school dramas, wants a not-too-serious movie, or has read the manga. A fantastic way to spend 2 hours.

Yeah, the film was just about as silly as it sounds, but there was one BIG perk of watching it- throughout the show, they kept introducing new government assassins posing as transfer teachers and students, and among them was an extremely hot and sexy bombshell named “ Irina Jelavic”, played by pretty Jiyoung, she late of K-pop group KARA!
Damn, gotta say, when I first began watching Assassination Classroom, I didn’t even recognize her- the blonde wig was an obvious throw-off, but additionally Jiyoung was probably the last actress I expected to see here…
I guess I shouldn’t have been TOO surprised, though, since she played another little hottie in the equally crazy monster-in-the-classroom drama JIGOKU SENSEI NUBE! Mmmm, She’s been lookin’ HELLA fine!!!

Fun fable
Yes this movie is weird and fun but is a fable also about the all powerful controlling manipulating social machine starting from education machine onward for life holding children and then adult in its and how only those brave enough to stand against it will become true human being。To do this you also need to learn and grow as shown in the movie。 Who is the real monster? When you dig beneath the surface is it really a simple story of an alien threatening to blow up the world or are the state powers and defence team really more concerned that Korosensei will bring down "the system" running all of us? You have to look at how this story develops from the simple "alien threatening the world" sci-fi trope。 The state authorities and defense team want to stop him, but even under threat they want to use the no-hope class to do it because they are expendable。Reminds me of how the people getting killed in wars are considered expendable。 Note how the children come eventually to feel attached to Korosensei as they realise he 〜the outsider〜 is the one who is really on their side and teaching them how to evolve as human beings instead of being dumped and forgotten in the school shed by the powers who run the system。 Just like lots of human beings considered expendable because they cannot fit in with the system in the real world。 But of course the movie can be enjoyed for itself without seeing any deeper meaning。 The action and special effects are quite good and I did not feel bored anywhere in the movie. It was about the right length。Was this review helpful to you?
The story started good, presenting the universe and the characters. The cast is an all star cast, although the main character was much more manly than the one in the anime. However, he did a good job with his acting nevertheless.
The film's plot was good until it reached a point when the story was rushed to finish. That deprived the story of the teacher-students dynamics that the movie needed to explain some of the events that happened.
So, good performances, surprisingly good CGI, nice action scenes, but rushed ending and lack of emotions: six out of ten.
