First off, I thought that the story was alright, nothing too amazing here. It's a pretty generic story, imo. Soul Society believes that someone has betrayed them and try to capture the culprit, without listening to anything that the person has to say and everything turns out to be a big misunderstanding, where Ichigo, as usual, comes to the rescue and saves the day.
The art and soundtrack is alright, pretty decent. However, it was nothing that really blew me away, pretty average.
The character development is pretty non-existent, considering that this is a Bleach movie and, therefore, has nothing to do with the actual storyline. Nonetheless, we do get to see into the past of Captain Hitsugaya, a bit. It did feel, though, as if it lacked something.
Overall the enjoyment factor of this movie, at least to me, was so-so. It was a movie that I could have waited for. It was not something that I had to see right away, after watching it.
The basic story is that the Captain's past caught up to him and he wants to correct it, and, in turn, the entire Soul Society misconstrues his intentions. Ichigo saves the day and that's pretty much it.
If you're watching this because you think that it will further advance the Bleach series storyline, then you're wrong. However, if you are an action buff then you should totally watch this because it has plenty of action sequences, but none that are too impressive.
I would rate this a 7/10.
