Synopsis

Since the demise of the man believed to be Britannia's most wicked emperor one year ago, the world has enjoyed an unprecedented peace under the guidance of the United Federation of Nations. However, this fragile calm is shattered when armed militants successfully kidnap former princess Nunnally vi Britannia and Suzaku Kururugi, the chief advisor of the Black Knights, sparking an international crisis.

The powerful and untrustworthy Kingdom of Zilkhstan is accused of orchestrating their capture. To investigate, world authorities send Kallen Stadtfeld and her associates on a covert operation into the country. There, they encounter the immortal witch C.C., who is on a mission to complete the resurrection of the man responsible for the greatest revolution in history—a legend who will rise up, take command, and save the world from peril once again.

The movie was really great, I liked it a lot.
The animations were great and the mix with Cgi was also great.
The beginning as well as the end I find well done.
The middle was entertaining and there were also a few good moments, although I must say that some things were quite elongated.

The characters seemed to have more quality to me and I don't just mean the animation.
Little Lelouch was also very cute and Mama C.C. is really great.
The story with the enemies wasn't bad, but it wasn't great either. They seemed so stuffed in.
As with the two seasons, I ...

Mixed Feelings

Code Geass: Fukkatsu no Lelouch (2019)

Not 100% sure this was necessary but it was very good all the same. A very different dynamic with the characters than we have seen before. I do always enjoy the combat with this series just wish they spent a bit more on sound.

The story is very side story setting but they have made it part of the main story. It would have made sense to have had a similar thing in between the other seasons. Now they have made a continuation it means only one thing with how it ended before: Money speaks. There is obviously a large ...

Ahh yes, Code Geass. The anime with so much circlejerking for the MC that any sane guy is surprised how did this fandom didn't get caught in the stereotype radar (both the circlejerker and sane guy is me). For one thing, I loved the original TV show so much; the narration is pretty dynamic, Lelouch/Zero's strategies putting down the opponents' tactics, Lelouch going through his existential crisis, watching the Black Knights grow as if its your child, etc, etc. But the first three movies didn't hit the mark, if anything, they are just recap movies with much of the vital points removed for the worse.

At ... this point of time, I am quite sure the people working on Code Geass sat around a table in the board room thinking about how to make things worse and pull a trollface on their fans. Someone must have quoted Evangelion 3.0+1.0 or Harry Potter: The Cursed Child and hence born the Lelouch of the Resurrection.

I don't want to drag it out too much, I will keep it simple and clean (and there are spoilers, so buckle up). The story should have been pretty long but the duration window is pretty short (shorter than their earlier movies). And the story had its significant flaws, like Lelouch's return and his reception by the rest felt so much of a 7 year old's work, like the fuck, I get that the Black Knights were a bit soft in the third movie, but this felt so rushed and untrue. The initial facade over the Zilkistan being so powerful turned out to be nothing, just being let flying in the alleyway.

To see the Black Knights and Brittanians living in peace and co-operation is pretty heartwarming, let you be how much of a Lelouch dickrider. But some characters like Kallen, Rakshata, Lloyd and even Lelouch felt too bent down for the benefit of the story. Kallen felt so much forced when she said "Its celebration time", Rakshata seemed too concerned over things than she actually used to be, Lloyd is the kind who wouldn't get involved into anything that didn't involve nuclear fusion but somehow is doing ground spy work and hacking shit (which is kinda stupid, he is a scientist, not your femboy pentester) and most importantly, Lelouch "giving up" scene felt so plasticky, not that he wouldn't give up, but the way he expressed as if he is gonna sulk is not the Lelouch we came across.

And one of the biggest mistakes rebuild/late-installments of franchises pull, unnecessary emphasis over the relatively insignificant sci-fi element and a undercooked technique to resolve the issue; this mistake was committed by Evangelion 3.0+1.0 and Cursed Child (and hence my pain) and now on this, which is just, whatever the fuck.

And the ending, I found the Lelouch rejecting Nunnaly's request part logical, but other than that, even as a Lelouch x C.C shipper, watching Lelouch renaming himself L.L, the scene is very badly executed that I wanted to rip my eyeballs out.

TL;DR Only good thing is watching people living a normal life. Otherwise, too many things cramped into the 1:50 hours, really undercooked sci-fi element which shouldn't need this much emphasis, bad character projection, so much fundamental flaws, I have many names to call this movie. Maybe a Marvel movie; or a doujinshi by CLAMP; or Disney princess movie; so many names I do have in store.

As the wise men say "Shrek 1 is the best, Shrek 2 is even better, Shrek 3 could have been avoided" (yoinked this from Pyrocynical)
