20Th Century Boys

20th Century Boys is a movie adaptation of a Japanese comic.

First and foremost, the title of the movie is nothing but a mis-nomer. It should be called 20th Century Uncles! The story is about a game or a story developed by a group of school kids turned into reality many years later when they grew up. By then, all of them are already uncles & aunties, but boys & girls anymore.

Second, there are too many jumping back and forth between now and past and future. Those flash-backs make me feel dizzy.

Third, the story is very loose and don't seem to come together organically.

My rating: 2/5
