It's both bad as a movie and as an adaptation.
The story is very rush yet slow at the same time. The dialogues of the characters aren't fleshed out and they talk as if they've already have years of friendship when they all just met for awhile.
In the game, the character interactions is one of the best things and easily one of the game's highlights. Here, they butchered it with superficial dialogues that doesn't contribute to sh*t.
With the slow parts, I'm talking about the dead spaces in the movie where it can be easily removed and get replaced by more fleshed out conversations.
The plot itself is great, just the execution and the way the adaptation handles it makes it pretty bad.
The characters for me is pretty hard to rate, because as a FGO player, I am biased to them. I love all of the cast, but do I think they were handled well in this film? Absolutely not. Hence the low score.
The animation is good. It isn't exceptional by any means. There are times where the animation doesn't portray what the game is supposed to be. Like Mordred for example. To give you an insight on what is she supposed to be based on the game, she's supposed to be like Saber Alter from Heaven's Feel who spams laser beams every strike she makes.
Also, the art isn't really consistent enough. It's unfortunate since this is one of the best-looking NON-UFOTABLE movies that I've seen.
The music is pretty good. The OST and the ED theme is surprisingly decent, just the way they are implemented in each scenes that makes them not stand out imo.
Overall, it's a mix-bag of a movie. If you're a diehard fan of Fate like me, then you'd be disappointed. Or even if you're just an anime-only Fate fan, you wouldn't be satisfied by this movie.
