The best thing about Hunter x Hunter, both the series and this particular movie, is the characters, and how they interect with each others. I particularly enjoy Hisoka and Leorio, although they were somewhat secondary on this movie. Biske was also entertaining. Kurapika, however, was rather shallow and uninteresting. It is a shame, because Kurapika is an excellent character in the series (original and 2011 version).
As for the setting, going back to the Heaven's Arena was great. We all missed that amazing place. Now, the drawback with this movie, although it was an extremely enjoying HxH installment, is the predictability of it. [SPOILER ALERT] Everyone knew the villains introduced in The Last Mission would be gone by the end of the movie, so you do not actually feel like Killua and Gon are in danger. Besides, Gon seems to destroy everything with a simple JAN KEN GUU, regardless of how strong their opponents might be. In addition, the end scene where Killua saves Gon out of his evil On-Nouryoku through the power of friendship... it was too simple. I did not buy it.
Having that said, I still loved the movie. Great art, amazing characters, even some good jokes in between. If you can, go see it! :)
