Movie Review: Lovely Complex Live Action

Since I just can't get enough of LoveCom, I watched the manga's live action. hehe. Though my real purpose is to compare whether the movie levels the tv anime (although the live action was released first before the anime). And the verdict?... later na. :D

I did not read the manga so the sole basis of my review is this film in comparison with the tv anime

Lovely complex live action film is the adaptation of the manga series starring Teppei Koike as Atsushi Otani and Ema Fujisawa at Risa Koizumi.

The plot follows the story of anime: Otani and Koizumi have height complexes. Then it came to point when Koizumi grew feelings for Otani to finally confessed to Otani. Otani thinking it is odd for them to be a couple, gave the answer of being just friends yet after some time he realized he already like Risa and they lived happily ever after. hehe. Simple and predictable plot isn't it?



The movie differs the anime in little details in order to capture the whole story in 1.5 hours. But still, the movie was able to grasp the story's flow smoothly.

What I like about the movie is Teppei Koike himself! hahaha. Perfect for Otani's role. ;))

What I dislike is the fact that I watched the anime first! I was very overwhelmed with the anime and expected the movie to be like it. The exaggeration in the movie is a NO NO for me. And the movie is less romantic...and the movie is less goofy. Grrr. Lesson learned for mangas having live action film. @_@



Favorite scenes? Hmmm the summer festival and their school trip scenes. :D
