City Hunter (2024) | Rotten Tomatoes (1) Pieter-Jan Van Haecke Psychocinematography The composition of City Hunter is highly dynamic and often sports fast-paced cutting. What stands out in the framing of the action-sequences are not the choreographies, but Sato’s emphasis on creating visually pleasing action-moments. Jul 5, 2024 Full Review City Hunter (2024) | Rotten Tomatoes (2) JK Sooja Common Sense Media In order to adapt this manga for a modern audience, City Hunter tries to reduce the original's sexism and main character's sexualization and objectification of women, but there's still plenty of it. May 10, 2024 Full Review City Hunter (2024) | Rotten Tomatoes (3) James Marsh South China Morning Post Accessible and endlessly energetic, City Hunter should hit the target for fans and first-timers alike. Rated: 3/5 May 10, 2024 Full Review City Hunter (2024) | Rotten Tomatoes (4) Dennis Schwartz Dennis Schwartz Movie Reviews It's as silly as crying wolf when thinking you spotted a Brown Bear monster in the film. Rated: C+ May 9, 2024 Full Review City Hunter (2024) | Rotten Tomatoes (5) Wade Major FilmWeek (KPCC - NPR Los Angeles) You can get away with a lot of this stuff in video games and animation. But this tries to go the extra step... It's just not that engaging. May 8, 2024 Full Review City Hunter (2024) | Rotten Tomatoes (6) Charles Solomon FilmWeek (KPCC - NPR Los Angeles) A cheesy crime action-drama with some comedy thrown in. What's most interesting about it is how backward these characters are and how different Japanese attitudes are from ours. May 8, 2024 Full Review Read all reviews

Franklin T Its difficult the transition from anime to live action, bit this is done well with good action sequences and cast. Sure you need to watch the Japanese version with subtitles, and it has those quirky anime touches, plus it is a little light and predictable, but done well, so I enjoyed my time with this film. Rated 3.5/5 Stars • Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 11/15/24 Full Review Audience Member Que filme espetacular principalmente a ação que assistiu o anime e leu o manga com certeza vai sai satisfeito eu como não acompanhei o anime nem o manga do city Hunter eu achei filme aprovadíssimo mais uma live action que não decepciona na ação e nos caracterização dos personagens Rated 5/5 Stars • Rated 5 out of 5 stars 09/23/24 Full Review Maricarmen J It is a very good movie based on the anime, it is very pleasant to watch. Rated 4.5/5 Stars • Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 09/05/24 Full Review Tobias L NICHTS GEHT ÜBER NUDELAKROBATIKWer jemanden finden möchte, der beauftragt den City Hunter. Wenn man als Frau dann noch genügend Oberweite hat nimmt er den Auftrag auch an. Bei seinem letzten Job stirbt allerdings sein Partner, was den City Hunter zwingt sich um dessen kleine Schwester zu kümmern. Währenddessen sucht er nach den Killern seinen Partners und die nächste Nutte.City Hunter 2024 geht ca. 102 Minuten und beruht auf der gleichnamigen Animevorlage. Wir haben hier ein Actionfilm über einen Supermacho der alles tun würde um an Titten zu gelangen.Wer bei der Inhaltsangabe sich denkt, ist das nicht 5 Minuten Zusammenfassung aus dem Jackie Chan Film wo er City Hunter spielte? Jep, man könnte das hier quasi als Vorgeschichte sehen.Diese Version will näher dran sein an der Vorlage als der 1993 Streifen, das schafft er auch in Maßen. Er will lustig, spannend und sexistisch sein mit jeder Menge übertrieben Moves und CGI. Im großen Ganzen ist er dem 1993 Streifen aber in jeder Hinsicht unterlegen.Chans Film war Quatsch, überzeichnet und abgedreht, stand aber in jeder Szene dazu und unterhielt bestens. Das Schauspiel ist wie im Original kaum vorhanden. Die Bösewichte sind im Vergleich zu Richard Norten und Gary Daniels ein Witz. Die Bösis hier sind entweder Anhänger von Bane aus DC und lieben einfach ihre Coronamasken.Die Action ist doch wenigstens gut oder? Mähhh, ist nicht schlecht, aber man kennt besseres und auch hier Punktet wieder Chans Werk mit seiner Martial Arts Kunst.Das Finale ist dann ist nichts weiter als ein Hordenmodus mit anschließenden bepanzerten Endgegner umboxen, fertig.Am Ende bleibt ein Werk das seine Gags aus besseren Filmen klaut, die Action nie aufregend und die Handlung nie spannend ist. Die Charaktere sind alle scheiße, da gibt es nicht eine sympathische Figur.Von mir bekommt der Film 4/10 Punkten. War das gesuchte Mädchen bei Chan noch eine Turnerin, ist es hier eine Cosplayerin. Man muss ja mit der Zeit gehen. Rated 2/5 Stars • Rated 2 out of 5 stars 05/24/24 Full Review miror u It's hard to make better adaptations !i love 99.9 % of this movie (only a little flaw) Rated 5/5 Stars • Rated 5 out of 5 stars 05/16/24 Full Review Kenny L Want to see the next chapter, Ryo's actor is 99.9% perfectly reproduced! Going to watch again in Japanese this time! So excited! Rated 5/5 Stars • Rated 5 out of 5 stars 05/13/24 Full Review Read all reviews
