The premise of the Generation of Miracles+Taiga teaming up for a match against a streetball team from the USA (touted to be at NBA level), is the stuff of fan service porn for those who like the first three seasons of Kuroko no Basket.
Art: The art presentation was pretty standard with relativity to the TV show's quality. There's no complaints, but no special 'bling' either, which some TV anime have the privilege of getting, when they have a movie installment.
Story: Decent. The DNA of Kuroko no Basket isn't meant to deliver Code Geass levels of plot narrative - but rather, the show lends its strengths from the characters and the basketball matches themselves.
Characters: Now this is where, about 20 minutes into the movie, I was starting to wonder about how well the movie would pitch the antagonists. What the TV show did so well was making the basketball matches hype. It did this not simply from making opponents strong or using the shonen escalation cliche, but because there was a build-up of personality and mystery to the Generation of Miracles - the opponents Taiga and Kuroko played against.
With these Jabberwock, the movie simply pitched them as racist assholes....which I guess is pretty common even in professional sports, especially among the fans (I'm looking at you football). There's no new intrigue to the latest 'boss battle' Kuroko has to face. Just powerful bball players who apply different contexts to 'powers' already seen in the first 3 seasons.
On the premise alone, I would definitely recommend it to the fans of the show. While I feel more could have been done in the antagonism department, this movie proved to be a worthwhile watch for me.
