Featured reviews
The movie was just ok, not worth a theater visit probably good to watch at home. It just suffers from poor pacing which cascades into all other key factors. Most characters/abilities aren't explained or talked about at all so it's surprising many people say the movie is good for people who've never watched the anime or read the manga. There was never a feeling of progression within the movie as each plot point quickly jumped to another plot point via black screen as soon as it was finished. It didn't feel like a blend flowing from scene to scene but more of a check list to get a finished movie. Animation as well was what you'd expect from MAPPA to deliver in the anime. It wasn't out of the park like Ufotable in the demon slayer movie it just served it's purpose. My expectations might've just been to high but I left the theater feeling unrewarded for the time.
Ok so I just started watching JJK this week to prepare for the movie. However due to school, I haven't really been able to watch it and am only on episode 7 at the time I'm writing this. Coming out of my IMAX theater...
Let me tell you, this movie is super easy to follow, even just a few episodes wouldn't really make a difference. Give it a watch with friends or family (or both), and trust me they'll (probably and hopefully) love it too!
The movie is beautifully animated as well, with some of the best animation, cinematography, and choreography I've seen in anime. The movie also has it's funny moments here and there. I definitely recommend it to any new anime fan, anime fan in general, and friends who just wanna have a good time. MUST DO FOR JJK FANS! SEE IT IN THE THEATER IN IMAX!

If you liked the first season of JJK, you'll probably like this movie. If you didn't like the first season of JJK, there's probably nothing here to convince you otherwise. That being said from some of the greatest animation studios MAPPA and Toho ,this movie raises the bar in many aspects during its runtime ,from the epic battles to the amazing soundtrack to some amazing heartwarming stories and cool characters with abilities that will melt your eyes out. A well-told story and neatly wrapped up by the time the credits role. It helps flesh out some of the backstory for Geto, one of the series' main antagonists, and of course Yuta, who reappears in the manga at a later date, but is by no means mandatory viewing to enjoy the rest of JJK.
One thing the film easily surpasses the original season with is the emotional moments. Connecting with the characters and their struggles seem much more real and causes much greater immersion. The less extreme personality of the main character, great music choice, and fluid animation make even the slow scenes feel meaningful. The story teaches us the what is love ,how it can be a curse and a power at the same time. All the characters have a deep effect on the progression of the story even though Yuta's development in the span of 1:45 minutes comes a bit fast it's still extremely satisfying seeing him grow.
The art and animation are a 10/10. Mappa doesn't fail to amaze me in everything they do.
Complimenting the great animation is the music. Each part of the OST accentuates the emotion of the scenes and really brings up the hype during the battle scenes.
Overall the movie is amazing and one of my all time favourites. If you haven't seen Jujutsu Kaisen then you might want to watch this film since this is a prequel to the main series. Don't even think before watching this, just do it. I honestly prefer the manga, but this was almost just as good and makes me anticipate S2 even more.

Awesome movie , stroy,and gojo saturo, megumi and other charcter are also best. Just watch this movie. Mappa animation is one next level and king gnu bgm make you jump off the seat.
#JujutsuKaisen0 is a spectacular film. Chopped full of highly animated action scenes that leave you blown away even hours after you watched them. And don't forget the stellar voice acting from all of the Japanese cast. With the main stand out being Megumi Ogata as yuta with gives a heartfelt and emotional performance. Not only is this film filled with amazing sequences of animation. It tells a gripping and heartbreaking story. That had me leaving the Theater in tears. Once Again STUDIO MAPPA has outdone themselves. It's no wonder this movie is already the second highest grossing Japanese film.
With A Phenomenal Cast and animation, with its touching story. I give Jujutsu Kaisen 0 a solid 8/10.
