One of the Best Manga-Adapted Movies!

Rating: 10/10 (10 June 2014)

More than often, Manga/Anime adaptations turn out to be some real disappointments. Classic example is Dragon Ball Evolution. However, with Edge of Tomorrow, director hits all the right notes.
This is the blockbuster I was expecting all summer. An action packed extravaganza. I read some reviews calling it Groundhog Day meets Battlefield Earth. To tell the truth, I haven't seen Battlefield Earth. But GroundHog Day is one of my all time favorites. Edge of Tomorrow treads on the same premise, yet manages to present a whole new story. Best part is it wasn't dull or boring for a single second. With the whole time-loop concept, it's very easy to create a mess of a movie. Fortunately, Edge of Tomorrow isn't one of those.
Action is pretty much awesome and some scenes remind you of Saving Private Ryan minus gore. This is the kind of action I was expecting from Elysium but was disappointed. All I can say is Edge of Tomorrow perfectly defines how a movie involving exo-skeletons should be!
In Retrospect, there are two things I didn't like.
1. Tom Cruise never wielded an Axe (similar to the one Emily carried) like in the original Manga. I'm pretty sure, action would have been on a whole new level with Tom wielding an Axe.
2. There was NO Tom VS Emily in the ending. In the Manga, Cage fights and kills Rita because they find out that Rita became an ANTENNA the moment Cage gained her powers. However, I also liked the new definitive Ending in the movie. What I would have liked more was, Tom fights Emily. Kills her. Then Blow Omega Up. And Everything is back to Normal. Somewhat of a crossover between original ending and the one in the movie.
Apart from that, there's nothing that I didn't like.
One of the better Tom Cruise movies in recent times, this movie was one hell of a ride.
