When I heard that Kuroshitsuji was getting a movie, I got extremely excited. But as more details came out about the characters and story, I began losing faith. This film got rid of any doubts I had in the first ten minutes.

The action scenes were shot brilliantly and were very fluid. The acting was wonderful with brilliant casting and the music came in at just the right places to add suspense and excitement to the film.

The only thing I would change would be some of the dialogue used. The conversations between the characters was extremely similar to the dialogue used in the anime. I would have liked to have seen less similarities seeing as it's set in a different time period and with different characters, but I still got extremely involved with the film and thoroughly enjoyed it. I will definitely be re-watching it again soon!

Overall, Ouran Highschool Host Club was pretty impressive. Being a fan of the anime (and only recently started the manga), I was doubtful about the live action because the few I had watched before weren't very good.

Good points:
> It knew what genre of show it was and stuck to it. It didn't take itself too seriously and at the core, it definitely kept the elements that make it Ouran.
> For the most part, the acting. Yamamoto Yusuke, Shunsuke Daito and Kawaguchi Haruna (Tamaki, Kyoya and Haruhi) all portrayed their characters wonderfully and were an excellent casting choice.
> The story. Although the story was the same as the anime, there were some elements that were changed. I enjoyed it being different to the anime because it meant I wasn't just watching 11 episodes of the same show over again.

Bad points:
> 11 episodes. I would have preferred a few more episodes, but I'm not going to complain too much. 11 is better then none.
> Some of the special effects. Although used few and far between, some of it seemed a bit too dramatic and over the top.


Overall:
Great series. Highly recommend it for an Ouran fan. Don't know if I'd watch it again any time soon, but it's definitely worth taking the time to sit and watch.
