Bayonetta: Bloody Fate

Driven to recover her memories after waking in a coffin at the bottom of a lake 20 years ago, Bayonetta hunts down the forces of Heaven day and night in search of clues to her forgotten past, and to uphold her pact with the demonic forces she draws her powers from as an Umbra Witch. She is armed and guided by the mysterious bartender and weapon-smith, Rodin, and following her every footstep is the intrepid journalist, Luka Redgrave, who believes that she has something to do with the death of his father and will stop at nothing to get the truth. Her quest takes a promising turn when she encounters a little girl named Cereza, but standing in her way is a rival Umbra Witch named Jeanne, who works for the very forces that she should be opposing.

Bayonetta: Bloody Fate is an action-packed anime film that explores the connection between all of characters and works to unravel just how they are seemingly entwined in a conspiracy that eclipses them all.

Games that get movie or TV show adaptations usually are extremely bad. But I feel like this is one of the better ones. They bring back the original cast from the game (the English version anyway) and I feel like the VA in the game is amazing! I would recommend this to people who played the game. If you haven't played it you will probably have a hard time with it, because the story is one of the weaker elements to the game. Also, don't watch this with kids around unless if you are fine with violence, nudity, and some um..... Interesting dialogue. And if ... you played the game you know what's up. Also young Cereza is the most adorable thing ever!!! Ahhh!! I love her so much!! You can watch it on YouTube for free if you are interested in watching it. Because I couldn't find it anywhere else. And this may just be the version I was watching it with because it was on YouTube but the sound quality for the music and the sound effects weren't great. But overall I'm glad Bayonetta got a movie. It's a great game franchise and it needs more love.

Mixed Feelings

TL;DR
Nice short watch for a cool older styled anime movie. I found this enjoyable although I haven’t played any of the games/know almost nothing about the lore. Good if you like witches and people fighting angels with hair and lots of partial (soft)nudity.

STORY: 5/10
I know nothing and the basic plot of this was easy enough to understand thanks to the few dialogue exposition dumps the viewer gets. Interesting enough to keep me watching the whole thing although the ending is easy enough to guess from not far in.

ART: 7/10
Cool 90’s style looking animation. Was reasonably well done, only a few scene felt kind ... of dark and occasionally the heads looked really small in proportion to their bodies in wide shots, otherwise it was fine.

SOUND: 5/10
No reaction much for myself either way although it seemed to fit it well enough and some of the comments below where I was watching it were commenting on how several of the game remixes were used so that’s cool.

CHARACTER: 5/10
As good as you can expect for a movie where they kind of expect you to know who they are going in, with the basics explained or done so in expositions and not through character’s actions.

ENJOYMENT: 8/10
Although I didn’t get as much as a hard core Bayonetta fan would have I’m sure, I enjoyed this. It was a sexy witch lady with her clothes turning into hair and being partially naked while beating down hordes of freaky angels with the occasional innuendo.

OVERALL: 6/10
Good if you like Bayonetta and want an easy way to pass the time. Or older styled anime movies. I wouldn't watch this around people who aren't sure about anime because they'll for sure be confused by the almost constant nudity lol.

I've never played a Bayonetta game. The only thing I know about her is she's my main in Super Smash Bros Ultimate. Maybe the reason I couldn't enjoy this is because this was strictly for the Bayonetta gamers, but even then it shouldn't have been this dull. I find the idea of a witch waking up after centuries and having to kill all these angels cool if I'm getting that right, but the presentation is so shallow. The animation isn't the worse but it's painfully average. The storytelling is so bad. Things just happen for ninety minutes and then roll credits. There's no excitement in ... any aspect of this. It's like the studio got a contract to make something based on Bayonetta and all the staff just get it over with to move onto the next project.
