if you haven't watched any high&low series!

my review based on
• as a new viewer to this series ( I never watched any of past series )
• plot / cast / acting / soundtracks / rewatch value
• nctzen, so will be yuta biased!

firstly I want to thank yuta otherwise I would've missed it! I know this series (high & low) is very well known but as someone who is completely new to this and watched the movie : high & low the worst x , I can say that it's worth your time.

This movie is not just about fights and violence but its also about friendship!! The childhood friendship, the friendshio between a leader and his members & the trust for each other!

For the first few minutes, they will be introduced many characters from various schools (oya high, Senomon tech, housen, suzuran and few more..) the whole plot involves around oya high + their alliance with other schools and the main fight scene with Senomon tech. there isn't much background story of the characters except suzaki ryo (yuta) and amagai kohei. it's not complicated so you will be able to understand and catch up! there are some funny elements in between the plots so you won't be bored and there are also some heart warming scenes where you will be able to see how beautiful their friendship is!!

talking about the acting and characters. there are many characters and without any hesitation I can say that all of them did a great job! very well acted by everyone! The way they delivered the lines just by listen or seeing it you can say these characters were confident!
talking about yuta. I am very impressed with him. Knowing that this is his debut movie he really suprised me. at first suzaki ryo (yuta) will appear to you as a guy with tought shell, he has a lot going inside his mind but by the end I promise you will love his character too! great fighting scene but the last few mins the look, the gaze + way of delivering lines really caught me. you will be able to feel that he was deeply hurt. [ I teared ho badly here] so great job yuta!!

soundtracks are worth checking out! During fighting scenes they play some soundtracks and even during some sweet scenes. I feel the soundtracks really played a great role . Very good choice of musics!

yes it's worth rewatching!the story is simple there aren't much violence [rather I would say the scenes were cool haha] so you will be able to watch again and again. So your 2 hours will be worth!

Overall I enjoyed it yes I was hesitating a bit earlier but wanted to check out too! So I did it and it really changed my mind! If I get time I would love to check out other high & low series.

and little appreciation for the camework! Great effort by the team! with this many cast it really captured Eveyrone well!

Yuta I am so proud of you!!!

Le dernier de la classe...

Mmh… J'ai essayé de l'apprécier autant que les autres. Pourtant, pour moi, High&Low The Worst X reste le petit dernier de la classe. Celui qui se contente de reprendre ce qui existait déjà en tentant de le rendre plus sombre, pour finalement pas grand chose…

Comme toujours, la richesse du casting est indéniable. La plupart des acteurs confirment leur place : Kawamura Kazuma, Yoshino Hokuto, Maeda Goki, Shiono Akihisa et bien sûr Shison Jun. Écoutant THE RAMPAGE from EXILE TRIBE, j'ai apprécié voir les membres du groupe, même si la plupart restent sous-exploités. Cela dit, le film regorge déjà d'un grand nombre de personnages. En revanche, il est dommage de voir Ryoki Miyama (Amagai Kohei) réduit à un antagoniste sans profondeur ! De plus, bien que j'apprécie Yuta (Suzaki Ryo) en tant qu'idole et danseur, il n'a pas eu l'occasion de montrer son jeu d'acteur.

L'histoire est correcte, mais elle manque de fond (et des motivations plus sérieuses qu'un simple caprice d'enfant pourri gâté). Le combat final possède de bonnes idées : bien filmés et chorégraphiés, cela s'intègre parfaitement aux couloirs du lycée qui rappellent les labyrinthes piégés Malheureusement, le rythme se retrouve brisé à plusieurs reprises pour laisser place à l'arrivée de nouveaux participants. Cependant, chaque nouvelle entrée en scène relance l'action. Enfin, la musique est un chouia meilleure, car plus nerveuse et instrumentale.

En bref, High&Low The Worst X reste un divertissement honnête porté par une scène finale aux idées riches. Cependant, il peine à égaler l'intensité et la fascination des autres films de sa génération, et encore moins ceux de la précédente.
