En 1969, Kenji y su grupo de amigos del colegio escribieron el Libro de las Profecías, una especie de juego en el que narraban cómo una organización maligna destruía el mundo y obligaba a un grupo de nueve héroes a hacerles frente para salvar a la humanidad. Años después, en 1997, Kenji tiene que dejar atrás su vida de rockero para trabajar en la tienda familiar, y ayudar a su madre a cuidar de su sobrina Kanna. Pero su nueva vida pronto dará un vuelco: en una reunión de ex alumnos le hablan sobre una peligrosa secta religiosa y su líder, quien se hace llamar Amigo... Primera de una trilogía de películas basadas en el prestigioso manga de Naoki Urasawa. La primera se estrenó en Japón a finales de agosto de 2008, mientras que las dos restantes se estrenaron -en el mismo país- en 2009. Edit Translation

Reviews
La actuación de los personajes se mantuvo siempre excelente, enfocados en expresiones reales, mostrándonos a un asesino escalofriante imposible de identificar. La música, estuvo bien adaptada cuando se requería, y los efectos especiales, aunque no fueron los mejores, dieron un reflejo del esfuerzo por hacer de esta historia una obra maestra.
La historia en sí es EX-CE-LEN-TE. No entiendo cómo rayos muchas personas no saben de su existencia.
Me limito a hacer una buena comparación entre Live-action y el manga, pues no me he terminado de leer este último. Pero hasta lo que llevo leído, aseguro que se adapta perfecto.
No he visto las otras dos películas, y es algo que tengo pendiente cuando cuente con el tiempo suficiente para dedicarme a él 100% a la excelencia.

The story has an ambitious scale, combining mystery, friendship, childhood memories, conspiracy, and the fate of the world. Especially because it is based on one of the most famous manga works by Naoki Urasawa.However, unfortunately, I felt that the adaptation did not fully capture the strength of the manga.One of the biggest problems with this movie is the pacing and storytelling. For viewers who have never read the manga, the beginning can feel very confusing. There are many characters, timelines, and mysteries introduced at once, making it difficult to understand what is happening. Instead of feeling curious, some viewers might feel overwhelmed and bored because the movie takes time to explain its world and characters.
As someone who knows the reputation of the manga, I could appreciate the ambition behind the adaptation. The movie tries to include many important elements from the original story, but the amount of information makes the film feel rushed in some parts. Some emotional moments and character developments do not receive enough time to have the same impact as they did in the manga.
The concept itself remains the strongest part of the movie. The themes of childhood dreams, friendship, memories, and how the past affects the future are very fascinating. The idea of ordinary people facing an extraordinary situation is what makes *20th Century Boys* unique. The cast also did a good job portraying the characters, especially in bringing the mysterious atmosphere of the story to life.
However, as a movie adaptation, it struggles to balance between being faithful to the source material and creating a smooth experience for new audiences. Fans of the manga may find enjoyment in seeing the characters and world brought to life, but newcomers might have difficulty connecting with the story.
