The film was screened a bit at the New York Film Festival, as shown in the film review video on YouTube at that time, including loyal fans of the original work, a wide range of anime fans, passers-by who often watch various movies, and film review websites, all of which have positive reviews
The following are the first three film review sites to give reviews, and they are also consistently positive.

Generally good reviews, not without reason
The plot changes are relatively large, except for the opening, [almost none of the plots are completely copied from the comics], the training of Ichigo was lengthened, the false bait did not cause chaos, Ichigo did not defeat the spider-like illusion of chasing the boy, the night scene was divided into two parts, GF replaced Da Xu... It's a pity that many scenes from the original work are missing, but the adapted movie should tell a complete and compact story, instead of copying the individual events in the original work as they are, the sacrifice is slightly larger, and there are also some plot logics However, it is absolutely understandable in terms of the ultimate purpose and the effect achieved
The two main clues in the movie are that one is trying to survive after violating the laws of the Soul Society, including training Ichigo to improve Reiatsu to return his power, and the deal with Byakuya to kill GF; the other is Ichigo's mother The "truth" of the murder
The former is the original film. As a commercial film, it has clear plot motives and is more friendly to passers-by, and it can even be said to be a bit simple and rude; while the latter is closer to the core of the original work. Why should a high school student fight to the death? Among them are his gentle nature and self-blame for his mother's death. From the initial disobedience, impatience, and only saving the people around him, to experiencing setbacks to evoke memories and arouse his desire to protect his heart, he took the initiative to take over the job, Take responsibility, this is the key character growth of Ichigo in the original work, and the movie has done a good reproduction
In the later stage of the film, the two clues of light and dark are combined. At the same time, the process of Ichigo and Rukia changing each other and establishing bonds can be clearly seen in the story.
The rigidity, ruthlessness, seriousness, and contempt for human beings in the soul world are well represented. Although Yulong Chato Orihime Urahara has few scenes, it is a pity that there is no specific introduction, but all appearances are very expressive, and the soundtrack and action scenes are good
Of course, there are some plot bugs, but the problem is not too big (the American comics have turned the bugs upside down, okay), the special effects feel good, but some parts obviously need to be improved (such as Shewei Maru). Spread it to the front, Bai Zai has no sense of shape, the lines can be less, give up to love times, and remove some micro-expressions to get closer to the original image (but the new version is not unacceptable, the behavior is different, it is said to be ooc is Do you want to laugh at people?) , as for the acting skills of the actors, I don't understand as well as the audience, so I won't say anything
The movie is boldly changed to make the story more coherent without losing the original theme of the story, so it is definitely an adaptation worthy of recognition
As far as I know, Japanese live-action film and television rarely make such attempts. In addition to the popularity of the actors who have received the most praise recently, Gintama (do you know how many people give high marks because of Hashimoto Kanna's beauty?), do The most amusing point is that "broken pots and smashes are blatantly cheap, and the sense of cheapness and disobedience are turned into part of the joke" , which relieves the audience's rejection psychology. Although Qi Mu is also funny, it is much inferior in this respect, jojo There are attempts to highlight the theme of family but lack of coherence. It is more like the two episodes before and after are put together, and the demihumans have been changed into action films. The original themes of parasitic beasts, ghouls, and assassination classrooms are too many to compare. It is simply perfunctory, always unable to escape the vicious circle of not thinking about aggressive consumption of the original work
↑↑↑【Complain about the violation of the second and second in the school, please open your eyes and watch the above films, and understand the current situation of the Japanese comic reform. You have to scold him for being inferior to an amateur athlete when you get a result in the school sports meeting. ? Wise? 】
Byakuya's design concept is not clear, but from the current team, it can be seen that he did not want to restore his appearance, did not use a wig, and even deliberately lightened the color of Yihu's hair. Being close to reality is easy for ordinary people to accept
As an adaptation, what really should be restored is the character's personality, not the skin , and this can only be realized by watching it in person.
(Is it because you are afraid that others will not know your rosewood seeds? Which one is the same as the original?)
Habitually looking at real people from Riman with a scathing eye, stomping on them indiscriminately when they catch a few black spots, and then sighing a few times, thinking that they are very insightful and incisive, and satisfying their false sense of superiority - morbid but That's it
The beauty of BLEACH is not limited to the beautiful style of painting. Those who paint "ugly", "ugly" and "destroyed" are probably just watching a lively comic. They have little emotional perception of the character who is the true essence of BLEACH. Fighting and killing, just looking forward to watching the perfect handsome guy and the big scene, right?
The most terrifying thing is neither the fans of the original work nor the passers-by, but the many wonderful people who feel that they have seen the animation and know a little bit of fur, they have capital, and they talk nonsense.
If you want to see the skin "restored", don't watch any movies, look for all kinds of fine-skinned, fair-skinned and beautiful cos films (cheat) & idol dramas, the real world is not suitable for you to survive
(Who is to blame for the rotten drama of the little fresh meat? They deserve to find it)
[You may not know]: BLEACH is a more heterogeneous comic
Although it has labels such as "hot blood", "fighting", "migrant workers", "juvenile" and "kingdom", it is actually quite different from other works of the same period: it does not pay attention to combat logic, the world view is not rigorous and perfect, the emotional expression of characters is more subtle, and it is a single book. The first paragraph of poem %AD/2899873?fr=aladdin ), contains a lot of symbolic elements... Later, it became more and more obvious, and even turned battle into a tool to express symbolic meaning
It is also this kind of alternative that causes BLEACH to suffer a lot of misunderstanding and prejudice. In today's increasingly fast-food trend, most people are extremely impatient and empathetic , and often "comics are boring and can't stand it anymore. I'll watch it again after updating the animation" , "bored and hypnotized and abandoned the pit", so that many people's impression of BLEACH only stays at the appearance level of "passionate migrant workers", "cool and elegant handsome guy" or the "Yilu" that the animation pushed wildly before . Judging and belittling with idiomatic standards, neither have nor are willing to change their thinking to understand and accept such "heterogeneous" works
Highly recommend this British Youtuber's video, which is definitely helpful for a better understanding of the original:

(Of course, I can't handle it if you have to be a superficial and rude labelling internet hooligan)
The fighting is good, the soundtrack is good, the core of the original work is reproduced, and it is easy to be accepted by passers-by. The real person of Riman has always been in the stage of fumbling and trying. This kind of progressive work is not considered emotional and must have at least 7 points.
===================================================== =================
Kubo himself had no more than two expectations for the movie before: first, not to change the distance and relationship between the characters in the original work, and second, to keep the feelings and actions of the characters with a certain inertia, and he was very satisfied with the result.
Adapting a story can do this, what more can you ask for?
===================================================== =====
In contrast, this score gap... The domestic public still has no discernment at all, and they prefer to pursue opportunistic works.
===============================================
Let’s compare again. When the number of ratings was around 1000 before, it was 7.1 points, and now the number of ratings is 6.8 points in the early 3000s.
Compared with Gintama, the number of ratings has always been more than 1,000, with a score of 6.4

Off topic:
The BLEACH poster posted on Shibuya Center Street in July can be seen to be very fashionable in line with the original work. Moreover, Kubo's new short stories, live-action movies and JET art collections are put together to promote it. If you can get to the core of the original work, it is definitely unified and perfect. Planning arrangements, rather than misappropriating money and planning perfunctory things, what is there to be "dissatisfied"?
===================================================== =
What? You ask me why the box office is so bad?
So how do I know? After all, Marvel's stupid movies can be popular these days. After all, there are still people in this world who really like traffic stars like Cai Xukun. The public's brain circuit can't be explained logically and rationally.
