Okay, so by now you've probably heard all the beautiful praise about this movie and how stunning it is, so I'm not gonna bother with all those details. I'm going to be the one guy who doesn't worship this movie, so be prepared. By now you've probably been told what the movie is about. Kyon, the main character gets stuck in a different world than the original and he has to go through a huge process to get back to his old one.

I'm pretty sure you've heard all the good things about it. The art is really good, and I can't label anything in this movie as "bad" since it's all pretty decent. But that's all it is for me; decent.

The story is okay. That's all. Whatever "plot twists" that may have happened could be seen a mile away if you used your head a little bit, combining the knowledge of the two seasons (which you have to watch before you see this movie) and the story isn't anything special.

(MINI TINY SPOILER)
Kyon just ends up traveling back in time, and does his stuff. YET AGAIN
(SPOILER OVER)

Whatever possible "emotions" I was supposed to feel aren't felt, since all I see is Kyon being forced into some terrible heap of trouble again, like the entire series has done. I just don't even understand what emotions I'm supposed to be feeling. I know this isn't a good review, but I can't write anything in depth since there is nothing I remember that's worth noting.

The only reason I wrote a review is to say that this:
"Fans and haters alike will not be able to deny that this movie is amazing and will love every moment of it."
Isn't true. It isn't amazing, but I'm not going to go as far as to say it's bad. I didn't love every moment but it didn't bore my to death at least.

Maybe this movie isn't my thing?

Maybe it was just over-hyped?

Or maybe the story just isn't so well done that it blows me away?

Anyway, I just wanted to inform the public that despite its fame and rank, this movie is not for everyone. Sometimes a movie is fine for what it is, but it just isn't your type of movie. That's the case for me.

So even though my enjoyment was "fair" I think this movie did do a good job for what it was supposed to. There's no specific thing I thought was bad, it just wasn't my type of movie I guess; which is why in the end I rated it a 7/10.
