Surprisingly good

(I'm a bit biased here due to Jigen being my favorite character and me being a huge fan of the series so take this review as you like)

Things I really enjoyed:
  • This movie surprised me with its realism and inclusiveness (I'm referring to Oto not speaking/being mute and Adele being in a wheelchair. Also Jigen showing deeper emotions)
  • Hand to hand combat sequences were well directed and done.


  • All of the actors did an amazing job
  • The set pieces and locations were great
  • The cinematography wasn't perfect but it was better than I expected


Things that pulled me out of the movie:
  • The end fight was a bit unrealistic
  • Some scenes were confusing/ not well placed
  • Jigen's and Oto's relationship develops a bit too fast
  • Sometimes the movie goes too fast and sometimes too slow
  • A few too many side characters.


Overall I really enjoyed the movie. It was well directed, the characters were interesting and the action was enjoyable to watch. Honestly, I expected much worse from the movie but I was more than happy to see I was wrong. (Also it got me in tears at some points so-)

The movie wasn't perfect but it was entertaining and even emotional at times so I recommend watching.
