I’ve got to be honest, I was really excited for this, especially with Studio Mir handling the animation. The visuals are genuinely gorgeous, with fluid character movements and vibrant colors. But for a movie based on one of the most dynamic stories ever told, it feels surprisingly static.
It’s less of an animated film and more like a high-quality motion comic. The plot moves at a snail’s pace, seemingly in no rush to get to the payoff. While it’s a blessing for fans who want a faithful adaptation, it makes for a tedious viewing experience for everyone else.
The film’s greatest strength – its beautiful art and animation – is trapped by a script that refuses to break free of the source’s rigid structure.
6.5/10: It’s a respectful, but ultimately dull, re-telling. And not sure why they broke it into two movies.
Wondering whether I should do Chapter 2 or rewatch Snyder’s 2009 classic?
