I enjoyed the original Japanese films more than the manga. Despite the mediocre acting, the movie was much better than the anime.

I've never seen the live action films, I'll have to check it out. I see that Toda Erika, one of my favorite Japanese actresses, stars as Amane Misa. Apparently it was her debut film, so it'll be interesting to see how her acting back then compares to now (I just started watching the spring 2012 dorama Kagi no Kakatta Heya yesterday, in which she isn't all that bad).

I liked the way they resolved the conflict, but it wasn't enough to make up for the terrible acting.
