One Piece Film: Red

I'm not caught up with One Piece by any means, but that didn't keep me from enjoying this film! The animation and effects are visually very appealing. The songs were tacky at the worst, and while the plot was pretty predictable, just going with the flow of the movie allowed me to enjoy the antics. I'm not sure how this plays into canon (if it IS canon), but Uta is decently complex and stunningly over-powered. I loved seeing the extent of her devil fruit powers, and her dynamic with Luffy was entertaining, too. Besides the crowd being a bit rowdy, I had no serious gripes with this movie. A fun watch, and if you're dedicated to the franchise, probably a lot to discuss too.

I'm a huge one piece fans but most of their movies are lackluster for me. Including this one and the previous one.

It was nice watching many characters teaming up and showing their personalities. The comedies are there and the songs are nice. Ado is amazing and the songs are catchy. The lyrics are pretty good too.

Unfortunately the story is just lackluster and the part where they were all fighting the big boss were just colour and nonsense. You don't feel power from it or much hype (except the end with shanks and luffy).

Feel like it could be better tonally and emotionally. Think it was marketed as shanks movie but it didnt feel like that. They still have to keep shanks secretly I guess... even in the manga shanks is still kinda a side characters with probably the most secrets.

Anyway I love luffy and the bear is so cute. Kuma chan Im a fan.

Movies about one of the longest running and still unfinished anime we have out there. Not being very knowledgeable about either the comic series or the cartoon series I cannot say if this film is accurate in terms of coherence and continuity with the general plot and for this I will limit myself to judging the film for what it is. So overall the film is very colorful and full of life but it's still a bit boring, there are several points that in my opinion are too drawn out and too long to keep the viewer's attention, having said that though overall the film is watchable It is funny. So in conclusion the movie is good.

I watched the whole movie and honestly the plot was really boring , fights felt REALLY overused and the twist was good but rather vauge? , the movie also feels like it's a musical rather than actual one piece movie. The effects and fights were pushed to almost extreme limits were instead of exciting it was boring and overused. I honestly expected a lot from it but it just wasn't it . I love the singer and songs but overall the movie isn't really it, it's not that good.

Idk honestly if i like the character uta as she's kind of too annoying to be ""likeable"" and ""appealing"" in this whole movie but i guess the creators intended it.

This one got me emotional, to be honest.

Uta, the antagonist, is just endearing. I'm pretty skeptic whenever a VG or anime universe features their "world's greatest pop star," but I really enjoyed the songs and the animation that went with them! Watching this hyper-optimistic diva slowly darken was gorgeously tragic, and I think it gave Luffy's journey an added richness.

But that said, it's far from perfect. The character cameos are so relentless that they blunt the impact. It's not really remarkable that REDACTED is there, because everybody else in the series seems to be crammed in there along with them! The fight animations are intense, and yes, the animation is very good! But because of the size of the character roster, the fights start to get unintelligible. And personally, I balked at my screen more than once as the various character motivations are revealed. Not everything seems to add up.

It is a beautiful film, but it's also a total mess. Which, if you love One Piece like I do, may be the flavor you're after.
