| Awesome. Though I kinda want to read the manga first. But that will take years to get all the volumes out. |

I second this!
Pretty please go with Fathom Events again. Traveling 30 minutes is better than travelling into the next state.

My thoughts exactly. I would like to watch these movies, but I'd rather finish the manga first. It's great that Viz has picked them up though. |

| I loved the first movie and I think everyone should see it. It made me want the manga. I'm so glad these are coming over. |

| 20th Century Boys is my favorite manga and the first movie (the only one I've seen thus far) was excellent. I can't wait to get this on DVD. |

| Please make the entire trilogy a Fathom Events event, pretty please, I know it won't pull up Death Note movie numbers, but still, a good movie deserves a run on theaters... |

Nice to hear that the US is finally getting this. Already seen the 2nd movie (Dad's working on the UK release so we've got a special previw copy), which erm sort of means that when I'm reading the manga I end up picking up on what they decided to leave out for the movies...
Now that this has been announced I wonder if the US or UK will see the 3rd movie released first. |

It is licensed; Viz is just sitting on the release, the same they sat on Honey & Clover and Nana. Presumably dubbing it  is taking a long time. |

Far, far from excellent, the first movie was ok at best. For the amount of material that needed to be crammed into the movie it just felt shallow . If felt like a thin outline of what was an extremely deep manga.
Take Lord of the Rings. Regardless of how much money they cost, lotr had pacing that felt right: it compressed a lot of material into something that flowed like a good movie should.
It is nice that its comin over here but the movie was the opposite of what I wanted; overacted and obviously meant for those who read the manga.
Maybe Spielberg can one day get the quality side of hollywood involved in a quality live action version...but i wont hold my breath
