Jay Weissberg Variety Just an excuse for more splatter from a director who, as always, knows his target audience. Jan 22, 2015 Full Review Ard Vijn ScreenAnarchy This makes for a two-hour-long film with plenty of exciting special effects-filled action scenes, but with frustratingly little plot. Rated: 7/10 Jan 10, 2020 Full Review Panos Kotzathanasis Asian Movie Pulse Miike directs a paranoid film that plays out as a video game, with the protagonists having to overcome trials given by dolls, in order to progress to the next stage. The slapstick humor and the bloodbaths, however, make this one a distinct Miike film Feb 13, 2019 Full Review Michael McNeely That Shelf The film shines with regards to the gonzo showpieces. Feb 13, 2019 Full Review Andrew Parker The Gate As the Gods Will is a needlessly exhausting, scattershot, and ultimately hollow film. Rated: 1.5/5 Aug 28, 2018 Full Review Joe Lipsett Bloody Disgusting If you can put aside the lack of character development, As The Gods Will is a fun time at the movies.

Tyler G I always appreciate works like this because I feel like others who may not be fans of anime would like the plot and be potentially drawn to it as a result of watching something like this. Squid game clearly took inspiration from this movie since this came out much before. This was a good film with intense scenes, and interesting games that contemplate mortality and relationships along the way. Watching the main character navigate each puzzle was fun and worth watching. The film felt whole hearted and full circle, and I wasn't left wanting much more. I feel like I got what I expected from this film. Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 10/19/24 Full Review John S Just a terribly bad and toxic film. Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 01/28/24 Full Review ana luisa u Es muy extraña y rara y los personajes no tiene personalidad y loa efectos no se be mal es un 4 de 10 Rated 2 out of 5 stars 09/03/23 Full Review Pastel S I was fantastic! I really like the actors and the detail put into this movie! My favorites are the Kokeshi dolls! I love them all so much! Rated 5 out of 5 stars 05/19/23 Full Review shen d Why was the god guy even involved?
