Reason #1: The Animation. Oh god, the animation. While it definitely had a few great shots, overall it was poor. Long clips looked like they should have been single frames.
Reason #2: The Story. It’s predictable, but for me personally I didn’t find it annoying enough to not be able to overlook it. Still I figured it was important to include.
Reason #3: The Pacing. This movie somehow managed to go at a snail’s pace for a hour and ten minutes and rush the ending? Everything felt completely off. It leaves you thinking, “wait, it’s over!?” in the worst way.
Reason #4: The Ending. Very rushed (reason #3) and throws a random, unneeded twist in that’s then completely useless and doesn’t effect anyone? It’s never addressed later. It also leaves you with numerous plot holes that give you headache thinking about.
At the end I was left smiling because it was a movie with my favorite characters, but that doesn’t mean it was actually deserves my props. I wish I could say it was better and give it more love, but I honestly can’t.
