This movie is basically the continuation of the first season. Chainsaw Man is always pretty strong whenever it comes to unique concepts and character designs. Although, personally, I am not a big fan of the new art style changes here. It looks like the 2D characters are half-finished instead of fully blending with the background. It does resemble the original author's art style but it could've been better if they added more gradation rather than flat colors. I also noticed that this movie tend to experiment with many different approach on particular scenes. Still, it was a decent animation for a theater scale. My favorite part about this movie was the soundtrack. They were all amazing and on point.
As a non-manga reader, I found the plot alright but there was not much depth to it. Some characters like Kobeni appeared without adding much to the story. Perhaps, it was just a simple fanservice to Kobeni fans. Everything was pretty interesting until the aftermath where they just kind of resolved everything through a simple talk at the beach. There was a plot twist at the end so I guess that could cover the flaws in the writing. I also do not particularly enjoy anime with many fanservice, but I know that Chainsaw Man had been like this since the first season, so if you are a fan of that then watch this movie.

Everything in this movie is good except for two things: pacing and flashback scenes. This movie could have ended in less than 2h 35 mins long if they lessened the flashbacks.
Even if the animation is really that good, it gets a little confusing with how they jumped from one point to another. Not to mention the numerous flashbacks that kind of killed the suspense of the fight scenes.
Honestly, I might have expected a little too much this time. But I just felt like they milked the story too much in the flashback scenes that they forgot to focus on the suspense and pacing. Sorry, but it just did not hit as much as the anime series.
Despite that, the animation was god-tier and the scoring was awesome. Still looking forward for the next movie!
