The epic manga series 20TH CENTURY BOYS comes to life! Recollections of youth make the burdens of adulthood easier for Kenji, until they come back to haunt him. A plague of bizarre and dangerous events begin, and the source of these occurrences point to a comic book he and his friends created long ago and a mysterious masked man known only as Friend. Vague childhood memories hold the key to the puzzle, and Kenji must reunite with his friends to save the world. An international hit that has thrilled audiences, this mind blowing mystery that spans the decades begins here!!

Great start for a trilogy. You might get lost if you're not a true manga fan But Part 1 was entertaining in itself. However, since this film was just to set up the greater plot of the trilogy- it does fell flat for no fault of the film. The cast is excellent and the climatic end is the fitting way to end the first act.
