Nanatsu no Taizai Movie 1: Tenkuu no Torawarebito

In search of a mystical ingredient known as Sky Fish, Meliodas and Hawk stumble upon a spring that suddenly transports them to the Sky Temple: a breathtaking land above the clouds, inhabited by beings called Celestials. Meliodas, however, looks strikingly similar to a local criminal called Solaad, and is imprisoned and shunned as a result. Meanwhile, the kingdom of the Sky Temple prepares to defend the Great Oshiro's seal—said to harbour a three thousand-year-old evil—from the malevolent Six Knights of Black, a group of demons who seek to destroy the seal. However, the Demon Clan is successfully unleashed and terrorizes the land, prompting the remaining Seven Deadly Sins and the Celestials to fight against their wicked foes.

The battle progresses well, until one of the Six Knights awakens an "Indura of Retribution," an uncontrollable beast from the Demon Realm. With its overwhelming strength and sinister power, the Seven Deadly Sins and Celestial beings must now work together to defeat the creature that threatens their very existence.

Note: I had to watch the movie German-dubbed in the cinema after watching both seasons with German subs, so I wasn't able to fully enjoy the movie because the dub was not really nice in my opinion...

Story (6/10)
The movie looks to have been done so that also watchers who didn't watch the anime could enjoy it, but that makes it quite "flat" story-wise. There is nothing new and special for all who watched the two seasons, and there's no additional thrill or any unforeseeable plot twist. That's understandable but sad.

The story would definitely not fit for an OVA, but this movie has quite many ... lengths. Mostly in the first half, nothing really happens and only the characters and the setting get explained a bit. The second half was nice as soon as the fights started. The storyline is a little bit random, involving "Sky Winged ones" and a demon fight almost not related to the TV series at all.

Also, it's not clear at which point of the anime story the movie is placed. It has to be at least after the middle of season 2 because of the involvement of all sins, but the overall setting was too peaceful to be set somewhen during season 2?

Art (9/10)
The same as in the anime series. Quite many additional landscape shots that were visually stunning but unnecessary storywise, but that's fine for a cinema movie.

Sound (9/10)
Was also the same as in the anime series, I liked it very much. The ending song was also quite good.

Character (6/10)
The characters are the same main characters from the anime. There is no progress in characterization, and just some small explanations of the already known abilities of the Seven Deadly Sins. The only additional thing we get is a small hint at Elizabeth's abilities and strength (which has also somehow been teasered at the end of season 2 already). And a new special move for defeating enemies. That's okay, but nothing more.

Enjoyment (7/10)
The movie was fun, Hawk did very interesting and funny things and the fights were nice, too. Overall, the humor was the best thing of the movie aside from the visuals. The dialogues seemed fine as far as I could tell because of the problems I had with the dubbing. Sadly there was no additional fanservice.

Overall (7/10)
I am not sure why this movie was made. For newbies to Seven Deadly Sins it gives more questions than answers (maybe they want to lure them into watching the rest?), and for all who have seen both seasons there is nothing new. It's fun, and the story was okay, nothing more. I gave the movie a 6,5/10 overall, which is a 7/10 here on MAL. (for better comparison: I gave season 1 a 9,5/10 and season 2 an 8,5/10)

If you like Seven Deadly Sins, you can watch the movie, but it's not really necessary. If you haven't seen the anime series yet, better watch it first.

To be honest, if I was not a fan of Nanatsu no Taizai franchise, then I wouldn’t even have possibly given this movie a try. As excited I was to watch it, deep down I knew something major is going to happen that’s going to excite me a lot. While the excitement did manage to stay at the same level, many disappointments also appeared.

Story [7/10]

The synopsis isn’t currently updated by MAL Rewrite but when it’ll be done, it’ll probably not sound much interesting as the story isn’t that fascinating. Surely, some interesting facts and major revelations were done but the impact that a movie can ... give wasn’t much. The plot was written in a fast-pace due to which powerful fights had to cut short and end quickly. The story shows each Sin to be way powerful than they actually are making this look like One Punch Series where one just can’t be defeatable. Well, that’s that.

But I have to say, this movie coming out is quite a head start for all our excitements to pile up till when Season 3 will be announced. Thankful to a certain someone, we finally uncover the mystery of its existence and why it is so powerful. But after watching this movie, we might come to ask ourselves, “Was it actually necessary for this movie to be created just to show that?”. Well, maybe yes, maybe no. But still, I totally recommend watching this movie after you have completed season 2 because, without this story, we can easily rest assure and continue with Season 3.

Art [9/10]

A1-Pictures surely knows its business. The character art-style, monsters, backgrounds and moreover the Island itself is drawn in such a way that looks really amazing. If this is the case, then why I am giving it 9 out of 10? This is because of the main antagonist’s character sketch. While he sure was powerful enough to cause much damage, he looked exactly like Ban.
It was also a bit hilarious to see him fight with Ban at the end and it looked like twins are fighting with each other. Nonetheless, the rest was amazing.

Sound [7/10]

Not really sure what I should say here but I guess due to its amazing soundtrack, I can give it a 7 out of 10. The Sound has good pacing and is well made for each moment in the movie.

Character [6/10]

This movie has doppelgangers of Meliodas and Elizabeth making it look like they are actually important to the story when they are not so much. It looks a bit idiotic to add them here but I guess the author tried to go with something easy. Trust me, the new characters introduced here aren’t that important at all and seem like a complete joke in front of the seven deadly sins.

Enjoyment [8/10]

This is The Seven Deadly Sins Movie so of course, I get quite tremendous enjoyment from it. Each battle (even if it was short) was entertaining.

Overall [7/10]

This movie is totally extended, fights are kept to a minimum, strongest beasts are played like toys but still, the stretched plot gives us at least an excitement to keep hype for the Season 3. That’s all.

-Intro-

As a fan of the Seven Deadly Sins (manga/anime), I had to watch this movie and the 6-month wait was worth it!

Timeline/Plot = 6/10
The movie takes place in between the 2nd season. It's after Meliodas has regained his powers but before Gloxinias and Dolores's competition. This is because, well, Meliodas is very strong and Diane still has her pretty weak golems. The timeline is definitely not made clear in the movie which made me pause the movie, look it up on Google to no avail and made me feel a bit confused in trying to figure it out during 30 to 45 minutes of ... the movie.

There are multiple interesting new characters in the movie, my favorite being the main villain, Berlion. I also liked the villain group the Six Knights of Black with their powers.
It was said that they were comparable to the 10 commandments, but they were not. That made the lore/story a bit flunky but it is a movie so it's understandable.

-Art- 10/10
The art was beautiful and just like the 1st and 2nd season. The fight sequences were sometimes pretty short but had awesome art and it made me smile. The art made the environment look stunning as well. They added in a bit of fan service so to say and made an emphasis on boob-shots every now and then when hovering the camera over characters like Merlin and Diane, which simply made me laugh cause it's added as a bit of a joke.

-Sound- 10/10
The sound was amazing as always and they made fighting scenes very immersive. They used music at the right time and of course, used a few songs we all know and love, which made the movie even better.

-Characters- 8/10
I already mentioned the villain characters. What was a shame though was them being pretty weak and almost instantly losing Don't get me wrong, they looked awesome and interesting, but they didn't have a lot of story or cool-ness behind them, except for their leader. Berlion. I liked how he looked, acted and his motivation, which was a bit flat but still kind of enjoyable, to me at least.

-Enjoyment- 10/10

Not once did I feel like I was bored or skipped anything. Not once were the fight scenes disappointing. Not once was the music badly timed or just bad. It all fitted and made me laugh countless times like the seasons. As someone who draws, the art style pleased me as always and the attention to detail was amazing. I rewatched the fighting scenes and they were made without flaws.

As already stated I rate the movie overall 9/10. This is because of the flunky timeline representation + sometimes flat story of the demon knights. Those flaws were still overshadowed by the rest of the movie, which is 1.5 hours of pure enjoyment to the Seven Deadly Sins fans.
