I really enjoyed this movie! They did changed some things up from the original.
Another thing, they tone down him being such a sexual predator which was fine by me.
The guy who plays City Hunter really embraced the role!
The only complaint was it was a little too long.

I did see the Nicky Larson actor and the City Hunter actor exchanging friendly tweets over the film’s success there.
While City Hunter is definitely one of the easier manga to adapt, I think they managed to nail the tone, while not feeling overdone like the Jackie Chan film did.

It definitely felt like a City Hunter movie which is the best compliment towards it as a film. Glad to see it doing well.

An excellent live-action adaptation, one of the best, I say. There's room for sequels and I hope we get them.

Just goes to show, it sometimes best to leave the Japanese manga/animes live adaptations to the...you know the JAPANESE!

As someone who hadn't seen any City Hunter before, I enjoyed it a lot and I thought the Netflix dub was really good too.

This was a great popcorn flick. I really hope they give us at least 2 more movies. But I don't know if they have enough GOOD jokes and actions sequences to do more than that.
