Inspired by the T. Rex song of the same name, 20th CENTURY BOYS is a national phenomenon in Japan. The award-winning, 24-volume sci-fi fantasy manga series, created by Naoki Urasawa, has now been adapted into one of Japan's grandest cinematic undertakings.

The final installment of the of this monster live-action trilogy caps a story spanning 50 years, starting in 1973, as a young Kenji Endo and his friends make up stories about fights with super villains, putting them in their own make-belief 'Book of Prophecies'.

The year is 2017 and three years has passed since 'Friend,' the masked super villain, has governed the world with his Friendship Democratic Party. A destructive virus has hit Tokyo and the government builds a gigantic wall to quarantine the city. 'Friend' makes the revelation that on August 12th at 12:00 the human race will be destroyed by aliens. The only people who will survive are those who are true believers of 'Friend'...

The resistance continues their battle against the Friendship government. Ocho (Etsushi Toyokawa) discovers Kanna (Airi Taira) has separated from Yoshitsune (Teruyuki Kagawa) & his resistance group. Kanna plans to start a more radical resistance group that will arm themselves heavily. Meanwhile, Kenji (Toshiaki Karasawa) enters the divided city of Tokyo... The saga will finally come to an explosive end in 20th CENTURY BOYS III!

Some ridiculous parts (what’s new?) but at least it had an great surprise ending that finally explained the whole mystery of how Friend came about. But overall I think the first 2 chapters may have been better, the pace of this one is pretty saggy.
