To give context to this review, I'm a fan of Adventure Time and I liked the previous BMO movie.
I have seen this movie twice, the first time that I saw it I thought that it deserved 7/10 or even 8/10, but after having some time to think, and re-watching the movie, I now believe that it deserves a 3/10.
Now without going into spoilers: The concept of the movie is actually ok, after all it doesn't need to be anything ground breaking, all it needed to do, at the very least, was serve as a good way to showcase Princess Bubblegum's and Marceline's relationship. Did it accomplish that? Barely. Instead of bringing them together and showing their collective strength, all it did was separate them for a large chunk of the movie. Now you might be thinking "At least everything else was good, right?", and you would be wrong! The execution was also very iffy, there were flashback that just plainly spelled out what was hinted at in the original series, emotional moments weren't really emotional, and lots of other things, it's hard to talk about this without spoiling stuff. The worst part of it all was the ending in my opinion, it was very random and nonsensical, making it very unsatisfactory and boring. A nitpick, but they changed the animation style for some reason...
Now there are some good point to this movie: The singing was good, when characters interacted for not plot related reasons it was good
