I am a Hero (Japanese Movie with English Subtitles)

I honestly bought the movie before ever seeing it because I love the manga series it is based on. I am so glad I did. This is a fun, solid adaptation of the hit manga, and I'm surprised it hasn't received more attention. Of course, many of the plot points in the manga are either touched upon only briefly or omitted altogether in order to condense the story into the time frame of the movie, but overall, it is a very faithful adaptation. Although I do miss the more in-depth character development of the manga, the acting in the film is great; can't complain. It's also uncanny how much Oizumi Yo looks like the main character (Suzuki Hideo) in the manga.For those who have never read the manga, or who've never even heard of it, that's okay, too. The movie stands alone very well, which is a relief. Moreover, it's *fun*, which is something I never thought I'd say about a zombie movie. There's a dark humor here that blends in very well with the overall tragedy, so despite the apocalyptic gloom of it all, I still found myself laughing during certain parts. That's not to say this movie isn't creepy - believe me, it is. Especially during the "turning" scenes and the initial outbreak. There's not too much gore, either, but there *are* quite a few awesome action scenes involving the ZQN (what zombies are called in this movie).I've already watched this film several times since I bought it, and I have yet to get tired of it. For fans of the manga, this movie is a bit more action-driven than the comic, and the characters less developed, but it is a fun ride. Watch this. You won't regret it.

Hands Down a great film. Great story, lots of blood. A groundbreaking film. I loved it. ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️Im glad to have it in my collection10 out of 10

A very good adaptation of the Zombie Apocalypse Manga of the same name... The acting is pretty good and the story pace is pretty smooth. Unfortunately, the movie can only go so far in two hours and leaves you with no resolution in the end.

Great movie one of my favorites took a little time to get here but did arrive

I loved this movie

I’m a huge fan of the manga and when I found this I was ecstatic. I bought it on a whim hoping it was good and it was!!! The movie scatteredly spots the first 4 1/2 books. I knew exactly which characters were which and even the little things they changed from the manga to the movie were enjoyable. It’s 2 hours long and the visual effects were great!! Worth the money and the watch. I hope you enjoy it as much as I do!!

My all-time favorite zombie movie! I first we the manga, which I LOVED, and the movie is just as amazing! I usually don't care for live-action (anime or video game based) movies, but I Am A Hero is a masterpiece! Combined with a little humor, drama and excitement, this is one you will not want to pass!!!

Live-action adaptation of a manga, but don't let that scare you. A step above typical Japanese cheesy gore films, this film recounts the story of a second-rate cartoonist on the outs with his girlfriend, but he's also one of the few gun owners in Japan at the outbreak of the zombie apocalypse. This puts him the awkward position of facing other survivors as well as zombies.It's a bit campy, but it's closer to Train To Busan or The Walking Dead than it is to Meatball Machine Kodoku, Robo Geisha or any of the other Troma-esque Japanese fare you might find in US mainstream outlets.
