The movie

JoJo’s Bizarre Adventure is an adaptation of the famous manga, and follows the story of the Joestar family through the ages and parallel universes. Thanks to their “Stands” (psychic fighting powers), the descendants of this Victorian England dynasty defend Earth from supernatural creatures that threaten to invade. This time, Josuke will have to get inventive to save his city where strange events start to occur. Considered as the second best manga of all time in Japan (after Slam Dunk and ahead of Dragon Ball) JoJo’s… offers a colourful universe that efficiently mixes horror with outrageous comedy. Miike Takashi was obviously the most logical choice to create the first movie version of the story. Action, over-the-top humour, explosive colours, sophisticated costumes, and smart genre bending, this adaptation delivers the goods and beats most American comic book movies at their own game.
