Delivers nothing you would expect.
This one had me waiting for months, not only because there was Miura Haruma but also since this is the kind of stuff I'm interested in it. But oh was I disappointed.Story:
The plot is all over the place. OK so exceptional students with brains and excellent sports ability time travel to Sengoku period but do you expect a Shinai to beat a Katana? You have to be a fool if you believe high school students can fight Samurais and that is what the movie basically tried to depict. It's violent, not the sword fight, because there is none of it, but one-sided violence which is no fun but pathetic to see.
The history parts are unexplained which'll make you quite confused if you're not familiar with them.
The story feels hopeless and both rushed and dragged at the same time. Makes you wish it was just set in Sengoku and had proper action and fighting scenes. Ending is incomplete and really ridiculous.
Acting:
There weren't any hard scenes but it was just fine. The dialogs were annoying at times but that is a different thing. Miura Haruma was really cool in it and those were the only parts I enjoyed.
The bottom line- The approach was fresh and had good potential but everything felt out of the place. Just go and see Kingdom or Rurouni Kenshin if action is what you want.
History Explanation:
It is set in the Sengoku period just before the Battle of Okehazama between Oda Nobunaga and Imagawa Yoshimoto. Matsudaira was a vassal of Imagawa and seized the fort of Marune from the Oda forces. This was followed by the Okehazama Battle. Although Nobunaga had only 2000 men as compared to Imagawa's 20000 men army, he planned a surprise attack and killed Imagawa. Then Matsudaira, who was not present in the battle, pledged his allegiance to Nobunaga changing his name from Matsudaira Motoyasu to Tokugawa Ieyasu.

Story is interesting but what a waste
Main plot is not bad, time travel of high school students to Warring period.But ....
I can't stand anymore and have to stop around final.
Fighting wise, it's crappy. Fight the samurai soldier who will kill you without batting an eye with just punching, without killing them?
Worst thing is when fighting seriously and when one of the friends got wounded and near dead ..... there it comes ... other one are talking sadly to wounded friend and .. where is the enemy that try to kill you? ... did he just watch silently because you're sad?
Oh .... I really can't stand scene like that. Have to drop before finish.
If directing is better, it'll be really interesting movie.

It's OK if you choose to not watch this lol
I'm kinda new to J-dramas/movies so I know nothing about the late Haruma Miura except for the news of his passing last year. After watching this movie, I felt heartbroken because I love his acting in this movie and the fact that I will never see him anymore in dramas/movies makes my heart wrenched. Rest in peace beautiful soul.Anyway, the movie was OK. Of course, there were some lacking like :
- The death of Kota and Motoyasu was so... plain? Contrary to their strong character here so I expected an impact left but nah
- The ending left so many questions behind
I kinda agreed with one of the reviewers here saying that there're too many things to put in one movie. Should have done it as drama series instead.
Praised to all actors. Good acting indeed.

Worth the watch for its fresh concept!!
The first 15 minutes kicks off as already intense. It does wind down for a bit from time to time, but the rest of the film honestly gets even more intense; so intense that it made me wonder how sad and depressing it must be for these characters to go through the things they come across as shown in the story.By the end of the day, Brave: Gunjyo Senki is one heck of a popcorn entertainment ride straight through the end. And no matter every single flaw that you come across and probably have issues with, I am going to assume I got what I was expecting from only watching the trailer of this months back and simply enjoy the ride.

Failed in Delivery
The storyline had potential and there was some cast that could've added to it, but the directors and writers failed. High school students that are athletes at the very least understand strategy and use the strengths of the people they have. But that was ignored. I watched the whole thing, but even the impossible odds didn't show much growth for the student characters. The action was okay, but overall was disappointing. Not worth rewatching. Even the "special effects" to show the time change, were completely lame.Esta resenha foi útil para você?
I love this movie so much!!
Honestly,I have no idea why would people even dislike this incredible movie! This is one of the best Japanese live action movie I have ever seen! Besides the fact that it is highly unlikely that the high school students is able to defeat those enemies,the warring states period part is quite confusing as the story did not explained anything about it and the fact that one of the scenes there wasn't any blood on the sword after one of the high school student killed one of the enemies.The rest of the scenes was okay.Overall,it is such a great movie with an interesting plot and excellent actors such as Arata mackenyu,Nobuyuki Suzuki and Haruma Miura.I was literally crying whenever there is a scene of Haruma Miura in the movie.Esta resenha foi útil para você?
