Right, so done. Movie was okay, better than 1 and 3 by miles, two overall was more enjoyable though. I think this movie was going for a One Piece Movie 6 feel and failed miserably. Had they condensed all the deaths and stuff to the end during the climax, and not done that utter stupidity with LOLREVIVING Yuzu for no adequately explained reason, it likely would have worked better. And frankly with a premise like going to hell, trying to replicate the OH GOD WHY of OP Movie 6 would have been amazing.
Plus getting smashed by a hand and getting a super form from it doesn't even remotely have the same impact nor despair behind it as... well...
Yeah, so One Piece has what would have made for a better 'hell' movie. Who knew.
Ichigo's power fluctuated a lot, LOL Half Dead Sealed Renji cutting off Ichinator's horn to knock him out of the form and using a super kido to send him back home, Ichinator's groans were ungodly annoying rather than intimidating for some reason, Ichigo's hell form looks like goddamn
ass, and knocking Chad out at the start, heroic as he was in the process, were massive missteps to say the least. Along with this thing having no place in canon, but considering the atrocity of the arrancar arc and the premise they wanted to go with, sad to say it was unavoidable. Doesn't quite deserve to be the financial worst of the lineup, but I could see why it was regardless. 3 However still takes the cake for the worst though, with one following closely behind, and this has a decent lead on those two.
Kokuto however was interesting and his using the chains was pretty freaking clever. He could have whined about his sister a little less, but his betrayal made up for it. Though since this is the second time he's pulled the betrayal card, Kubo doesn't get to use it anymore. Ishida, Rukia, and Renji all got pretty good fights, and other than Rukia they got to use something new at least. Rukia's however was a goddamn rehash though, practically her fight with #9 only she didn't use her combo kido, which was probably the most interesting part. >>
And Ichigo's fight with the fire guy was almost interesting when he started blitzing past all his fire arrows, though the whole running slowly with his sword over his head was stupid. Overall decent however, it just could have been much better with better plotting and a new form that didn't try to contend with his fullbring for its utter lameness. Order is now 2-4-1-3 in terms of best to worst for these movies.
