Precure All Stars Movie DX2: Kibou no Hikari☆Rainbow Jewel wo Mamore!

Heartcatch All-Stars Movie DX2 is finished. I enjoyed it a lot but as I'm too tired to write a lot detail ATM I'll cover it quickly. Essentially it had LOTS of villains make comebacks (I don't know them all but I identified: Arachnea, Kintolesky, Northa, Karehaan, Moerumba, and Uraganos). All of the girls apparently planned to meet up at a Fairy Park made by Nuts and Coco, although this force (led by someone called Bottom-san. I laughed and felt ashamed afterwards) who wants to steal the Macguffin, the Rainbow Jewel, which holds the Light of Hope. Everyone raced to the Rainbow Jewel to get it ... before it fully charged so Bottom couldn't use it, but after he stole its power, the Cures ALL started powering down. Eventually they realized they all had a Light of Hope inside of them, and the Miracle Lights gave them all white wings (then gold wings as an extra power-up) and the big bad is defeated. Great movie, although IMO it was a bit too Tsubomi and Erika-centric. Give the others more time to shine! 8/10.

This movie is pretty much an introduction of Precure Blossom and Precure Marine to the Precure All Stars group.
Every girl appears, every fairy appears and... even the villains show up! Which in my opinion is what made this movie stand out. It feels like a celebration of the franchise and that includes the villains of course.

There's plenty of action in this movie to enjoy but I think the final showdown was dragged out and thus became boring to watch.

This movie will not blow your mind but it's entertaining enough to recommend to a Precure fan.

It's a 7/10.

A big pile of precure get together and get into fistfights with a grab bag of villains. For a lot of fans of the franchise that's all you should really need to know, it's hard to go wrong with this formula. This one is fairly early on so there aren't as many precure running around as later all stars movies. It does have Tsubomi and Erika though, which are a couple of my favorite precure ever and in this movie they have a leading role.

This one isn't without its problems. The drawing style mismatches Heartcatch characters a bit, can be a little jarring. Characters weren't ... as expressive as I'm used to, Erika didn't feel all that Erikaish. Was kind of weird seeing Yuri sitting around doing nothing while all of the danger was happening, she was precure before Erika and Tsubomi after all but whatever. All I really need to feel satisfied are some good henshin sequences mixed with some kung fu and heartwarming moments and this movie has these things. One of the villains is made of solid gold and has a sweet mustache, pretty awesome. Was funny watching Erika and Tsubomi getting rolled nonstop, they were getting their butts kicked lol. Just don't push your expectations super high and you should enjoy this movie, it's better than a lot of standalone episodes of precure after all.
