This has done better than most live action anime adaptations by a mile.
Some differences of course but this can't be helped. Music and background soundtracks fitted well with movie, overall sequences to scenes and key points in this arc were also done quite well.
While it may not hit everyones ridiculously high expectations this was a wonderful effort,and i loved it personally. ( wouldnt even mind seeing a sequel)
I'd recommend giving this a try if you are die hard bleach fan as it will remmerse you in a story we all know and love as well as characters we love.
However, if you are simply a movie enthusiastic or anime fan looking for another live action you might not appreciate this movie to the degree - some might but i still say give it a try. You never know you might just like it!
And on the rare occasion you havent seen the anime or read the manga before watching this movie do not base your thoughts off this production alone. Give the anime and manga a try first embracing the story as it was originally intended to be told.

Atmospheric Excellence
This drama pretty much knocked everything out the park. The OST and BGMs were fantastic setting the atmosphere right everytime, the acting was great - the suttle attempts at humor were actually funny. And in comparison to most dramas in this genre there was no use of fictional/fantasy based creatures/ powers (gumiho,demons etc).The story structure was wonderful you'll grow to love the characters and hurt, when they hurt. The emotion displayed in acting was fantastic. Would highly recommend if you are into this genre.
However, just stay unbiased i would like to add this drama is historically inaccurate - and one of the characters (dong joo) had a fringe in the joseon era which is a bit strange but fitted into the plot etc
