I love black butler, I've watched the anime and read the manga for 5 years now, and when I discovered that a live action movie was made I was psyched to say the least! Honestly I went into to the movie with high hopes and I honestly felt pretty let down. The movie visually is stunning and sticks to the source material's gothic Victorian aesthetic nicely. But the movie was just pretty bland compared to the anime, the story was just average and the characters acting was subpar. It just seemed like a quick cash grab from the Black Butler brand. If you like Black Butler like myself you will get some enjoyment by seeing the characters in real life (minus Ciel) and seeing a fairly adequate interpretation of the anime. If you aren't a fan of the anime I doubt you'll like it as much.
