Steven Universe: The Movie

No words. I LOVE THIS MOVIE. I thought it wasn't going to be that great when I found out it was going to be a musical, but it's soooo well done and yet so emotive. I LOVE CHARACTER DEVELOPMENT!! Also, this movie made me realize that there are still some things that can be done with the show, so I hope we get another season.

An excellent, emotive, really powerful movie. I love it. I'd watch again.

Uhhh.... so this movie, is, uhhh. It's good. not bad in anyway, it's got that classical Steven Universe charm, and its wonderfully animated, but theres just something about it.

First of all, too much singing. I like musicals, i like Steven Universe, and i mostly like the songs in Steven Universe. But sometimes, there's just too much of a good thing. There was a point in the movie, where less than ten seconds after a song ended, A NEW ONE BEGAN! then after that, 20 seconds, and A THIRD SONG!

Spinel is a great villain, but her arch is all over the place, it packed plenty of emotion, and Rebecca Sugars strong writing shines through, but her character simply lacks coherence.

Third. it is very obvious that this movie was written by like 17 people. count the credits, 8 people made the story, then 13 wrote and storyboarded it, which makes the movie less consitent, both in tone and quality.

Overall a fun and satisfying movie, but it is flawed in many ways.

6/10

The Steven Universe film was really great. I hate musicals or music films, but when I saw this film for the first time I was in love.

Spinel is the best villain Steven Universe has given us! She has a heartbreaking backstory, an intimidating appearance, personality, and set of powers. And a devious voice. She's also very identifiable, and you understand why she's doing what she's doing. She's also really funny! Her opening song is simple yet very catchy and memorable! And her backstory song cuts you deep. I almost teared up myself. Top all of this off with a dedicated performance from the talented Sarah Stiles and you got yourself a perfect villain!

Apart from Spinel, this movie doesn't really improve upon anything else. It still has the great voice acting, funny comedy, catchy songs, memorable characters, intense action, and beautiful animation we've all come to know and love.

The series is a prerequisite to watching this movie, however. I highly encourage you to do so, it's pretty great. I have some issues with it but... yeah. Go watch it.

It's everything you know about Steven Universe and it's plethora of creative characters and ingenious writing, but stretched to an hour and thirty minutes. Songs that go through various genres, animation that is as smooth as butter and very pleasing to the eyes, important and universal messages & to top it all off the immersive and powerful voice acting. The top moments are the emotional songs and the relatable villain. If you're a fan of the series, story-driven cartoons or anime you will highly enjoy this movie!
