Story: 7
If like me you have read light novels 12 and 13, this is adapted straight from them with no new content. The story might actually be a downgrade from the books but that is just inevitable as its shorter than what we've come to expect. Rune Craft? Ainz's antics are on full display here, and will probably get a laugh or two out of you.
Art: 6
For a movie I expected sharper visuals and more animated combat scenes however I was disappointed to see that this is basically standard TV quality of Season 4, with some horrible angles and budget constraints that are very obvious. The big final fight isn't even shown and is over off screen in 5 seconds.
Characters: 6
It is Overlord with more Overlord characters, unfortunately Albedo and most of the crew only have guest appearances or do not show up at all(just like the books). With the time given the characters of which there are three mains besides Ainz and only one is well enough develop because she doesn't need to develop at all. They do not have the time to flesh out the other two characters at all both of whom have a massive presence and are very well developed in books 12 and 13.
Music: 5
There is no music tracks I can remember and I watched the movie not even 20 hours ago, thus I will rate the music as standard and I think there was a remix of one of the anime season openings in the credits.
Overall Thoughts: 6
This is what id classify as a TV movie forced into theatres. There's not enough here to warrant going to see movie in theatres unless your a big fan of the show. It also doesn't help that they repeated one scene three times. It's good, but its not movie theatre prices good. It lacked memorable fights, music and how this is R rated is beyond me. I think if they added a few more graphic scenes (like 10 more minutes worth)they skipped in the books this would have been a better less rushed feeling movie. If they remade this as season 5 and pretend this movie was supposed to come after season 5 everything would be good and this would just be another "movie" that's just a condensed season.
