Anna Smith Guardian Much of the dialogue and performances are stilted, but as a kitsch cult watch it has its charms. Rated: 3/5 Oct 21, 2014 Full Review Kate Muir Times (UK) Compellingly weird. Rated: 3/5 Oct 17, 2014 Full Review Victoria Luxford Radio Times Energetic and stylish, the film is part action, part detective story, with acrobatic set pieces punctuating a plot that is intricate without being complicated. Rated: 4/5 Oct 17, 2014 Full Review Katherine McLaughlin The List The slickly choreographed fight scenes and shoot-outs are sped up and slowed down, making for exhilarating spectacle.

feral c Not a faithful adaptation or a good standalone movie. Rated 1.5 out of 5 stars 05/06/24 Full Review Scarlet S The movie was terrific! At first, I found the storyline a bit confusing, and I noticed that some of the characters were missing from the actual anime. However, the fight scenes were amazing, and it was clear that the filmmakers put a lot of work and effort into them. Overall, the actors were also quite skillful in their performances. It was definitely a movie worth watching! I don't feel upset because Sebastian still looks great, even though he's not an anime character. Rated 4 out of 5 stars 04/28/23 Full Review Audience Member As a fan of Black Butler, my expectations were crushed when I watch the live action. It's really inappropriate, especially since the main character's gender is changed to a woman. My sebastian is really not handsome anymore. Rated 2 out of 5 stars 01/28/23 Full Review Liam D Like most Japanese Manga adaptations it combines weird and action packed elements into a bit long but fun film Rated 3 out of 5 stars 09/21/21 Full Review peter m This is a good film. It helps if you can understand japanese, but as the talking is minimal, subtitles shoudl not be an issue. The fight scenes are absolutely captivating and i almost cried at the end, which surprised me. Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 03/31/23 Full Review Audience Member Being a big black butler fan I was really disappointed by this Rated 2 out of 5 stars 01/24/23 Full Review Read all reviews
