The action is swift, exciting, and occasionally brutal.

It is the perfect start to get us into the plot of 'Golden Kamuy', fall deeply in love with its protagonists, and fully immerse ourselves into this frenetic treasure hunt. [Full review in Spanish]

Rated: 3.5/5

Asian Movie Pulse

The dramatic parts could have been handled better as do the flashbacks, which are not exactly placed in ideal moments. As a whole, however, “Golden Kamuy” is definitely worth watching, both for the adaptation and the unique elements of the original.

Rated: 6.5

But Why Tho? A Geek Community

Golden Kamuy establishes its world and narrative while delivering a story that feels complete. It builds its leading characters up, giving the audience plenty to care about as they see them contend with their bloodthirsty adversaries.

Rated: 8/10

Call it the Marvelization of Japanese cinema. For all its extravagance, Golden Kamuy only leaves you half full.

Not a complete story and a bit too goofy for me.

I just log in here for the first time to say that is so bad. The mangá is a master piece, but the movie it's a joke, a really, really bad joke.

Bad acting, bad costume, bad casting. Typical Japanese movie that uses bad actors based on production companies power. So sad to see a good manga being made to a bad movie.

Although the depictions of Ainu life in the early 20th century are ethnographically interesting, the movie itself is frustrating because it ends with no resolution of the story. It is also about thirty minutes longer than it needs to be, mostly because of flashbacks that could easily have been cut.

Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars

From manga to anime to this live adaptation. If anyone is interested, please read the manga; it's more detailed, like an encyclopedia. Every character is quirky and awesome. can't wait for the sequel.
