Jujutsu Kaisen: Execution

The animation and such is amazing as always, but the first half or even more is the Shibuya arc summarized and the action if just few minutes.

Kinda felt ripped of for going to the cinema in Japan for this. Wate of time compared to just watch it at home in some months.

There is no point to go to the cinema for it. The fights look cool, the characters are nice and it alings perfectly with the known story. So i am looking forward to next season, but it seems like it will just ve the first episodes of the next season to be honest.

I've never written a review before in this website, so do forgive me but:

I don't think I've ever seen anything as arrogant as this. They managed to squeeze around 35 mins of recaps into a movie shown in theaters.

What an absolutely disappointing realization, everyone just sat through the first half of the movie joking and taking pictures. There was nothing to watch, nothing worthwhile talking about.

I don't like this method of storytelling, I hope it dies with this movie and it doesn't become a trend. It just made the second half much less enjoyable.

What an incredible waste of time.

The first 38 minutes of the movie is season 2 recap. I'm a JJK big fan and the movie horrible. There's literally no fight between Yuta and Yuji. All the scenes were just back and forth. The movie is just an introduction to season 3. Doesn't deserve to be in the cinema. Just a waste of time and money.

If you've only watched Jujutsu Kaisen up to the Hidden Inventory/Premature Death arc, then I would highly recommend watching the whole Shibuya Incident arc before thinking about seeing Execution, as the 40 minutes dedicated to Shibuya don't do it justice at all. You get the key highlights and the need to know info, plus Sukuna's fight is the improved Blu-ray version and not what aired on TV, but a lot of the context is lost, and it will confuse new viewers.

Despite Season 3 being known as the Culling Game Arc, we don't see any of it - the first two episodes cover the Itadori's Extermination Arc and the start of the Perfect Preparation Arc. The fight scenes in these episodes are really good, and there's just enough to tease you with for the rest of the season.

Of course it's not going to live up to Infinity Castle or Reze, as it's just a compilation rather than an actual movie, but after over two years away, it's good to have JJK back. Roll on January 2026!

The two new episodes left me speechless. They are perfect, they outdid everyone in the industry, the level of detailes, action pace, fluidity, camera work, expressions, music, impact - it's on another level. Some may even claim they were better than Chaninsaw man! Movie in som parts, and certainly better than the qhole second season combined!

However the first half of the movie you sit through the recap part of 3 fights. When only the one with Juji and Mahito is done decently ok, but the rest is squeezed so tightly, in small increments, that you only get «aha, i remember it» moment, but nothing more.
