Mixed Feelings
This review is for the English dubbed version that I saw in theaters

"the best movie I've ever seen!!" is certainly not something I'd call this.

The story is pretty typical, nothing to really talk about. It's not garbage but it's certainly nothing unique.

The art is exactly like you'd see from a normal episode. In fact, a lot of this is like you'd see in a normal episode... it almost seems like IT IS A NORMAL EPISO-

The sound... what sound? Oh, you mean the amazing Soundtrack I expected to hear throughout the movie? Yeah... almost nonexistent. Where was it? IDK. It seemed like the sound designer took a fiesta for this one. Bits of dialogue with no background sounds whatsoever. Complete silence that, in a theater, was actually jarring to hear. Maybe Funimation screwed up the dubbed version and the subbed is a million times better (or it could have even been the theater for all i know) but from what I heard and saw, the sound design in this film was pitiful. Felt like no original music whatsoever was used, All-For-One's theme was used for a bit during the villain fight (which was alright in context but felt like they could've done something different here) (Note: the villain of this film is NOT all-for-one, hence why it's strange to hear a theme for a villain whose given less than 20 seconds of screen time).

The characters are the same characters you remembered from Season 2 with the addition of a few new ones that were fine. Just fine... Everything was just fine.

Enjoyment. The movie started strong with All-Might's past and setting up his relationship with Dave Shield (although I question if All Might saved anything here... all that cash flying in the wind...) and I felt like it was doing okay up until it got to the villains showing up. From there my enjoyment started to drop... before getting a little hyped again during the Magneto battle... and then falling again at how predictable everything was.

6/10. I had higher hopes, perhaps that was on me. Felt more like a 1hr 30min episode.
