*REVIEW CONTAINS MINOR SPOILERS*
Hey all, thank you for reading this being my first review here on MAL.
First off, let me begin with what I enjoyed about this movie. First things first, I loved the fight scenes in the third act of the movie. Todoroki, Bakugo and Midoriya each have their own fight at the end of the film and I found watching those to be extremely entertaining and well choreographed. However, this alone was not enough to save the movie in my eyes.
The biggest problem I have is with the story. It is generic, bland, and uninteresting with a premise that COULD have
...
been very interesting. As I watched this movie I felt like I had already seen this movie before. Also, the movie was marketed as taking place all over the world. However, the only place that matters is the country where Deku, Bakugo, and Shoto are. Everyone else is kinda pointless in this film. Sure they have some stuff to do at the end of the film but its ultimately the main 3 at the end of the film working together to Phantom Menace the whole situation. I think the story fails most largely in not really incorporating the other members of class 1-A at other locations across the world. Wouldn't it have been awesome and intense if each location had a specific job to do, and the heroes could only win if everyone successfully completed their task? I believe that would have been way more interesting than what we got.
Another thing that I found disappointing was how they dealt with Midoriya being falsely accused as a mass murderer. HE ONLY ENCOUNTERS THE LAW ONCE IN THE MOVIE. Yes, he is on the run for most of the film but it doesn't feel like it since he never encounters any authority figures. Also, the writing was lazy with the whole framing. There was never even any evidence that was used against Midoriya. The only reason why it happened was because "oh, bad guys infiltrated the police so we don't need to write in any evidence against Deku". To me, that is bull shit and lazy writing. If they wanted to make the film more compelling, lean into that more and make us truly feel like Deku was actually in trouble.
Also, those badass suits they used in the marketing were only in the first minute of the film. WTF is with that???
Summary: Fighting was good and well choreographed. Story was a mess. 5/10.
