Code Geass: Lelouch of the Re;Surrection

Code Geass Resurrection (for short) is a good 2 hour anime film to a perfect ending that suffers from being too short and probably would of been better as a 25 episode third season.

The story is practically Zero (Suzaku) and Nunally are kidnapped by Zilkhistan, C.C tries to bring back the original Lelouch. That's a short summary of the film. The pacing is very inconsistent in my opinion, the first 50 minutes are quite slow and nothing really happens, after that the movie is incredibly fast and ends quite quickly. This felt like it should of been at minimum 3 hours long, there was so much reunions and moments that are rushed and not quite as good as they should be apart from Kallen's, hers was great.

Character-wise there isn't too much development apart from the new villains which I actually wanted to see more of, they where quite interesting and wanted to go into the backstory of this nation, we don't which is a pity as they could of became up there with the best of Code Geass's villains. The school members return for no reason and have minor scenes, should of been left out as it felt unnecessary and had no need to be in the story. All the other characters where themselves which was great, there really is no need to develop the rich characters we have came to love so I didn't mind that there wasn't any big reveals about characters.

The ending was actually pretty nice and thought it was a great send off to the series while opening the door to spin-offs or even a direct sequel with new characters added. Lelouch gets the ending we all wanted and felt earned although people may feel like it was too fan-servicy.

Overall this was a good Code Geass sequel that would of worked even better if it was a third season with at least 10-25 episodes which built the new characters in interesting ways and us getting to know about the nation of Zilkhistan. The ending was great and is a good reason to check this out even if you haven't seen the movies and just the show.

This one is a must watch if you loved this Series. The ending of this movie is brilliant. The animation, soundtrack and story plot makes this movie great. The CGI animations of the mechas are not bad at all and are pretty smooth. I won't say much but this one is a must watch for those who are fans of this series!

Many fans criticize this movie because they expect it to match the masterpiece of the TV series or serve as a direct continuation. But for me, that's the wrong way to look at it. I see this film as an extra, not part of the main story, but something that fills the emptiness the ending of R2 left behind.

The Zero Requiem is a perfect ending, no doubt about it - Lelouch's death fits the story flawlessly. But it was also very abrupt and painful. I always wanted to see Lelouch drop his mask of lies, be accepted by everyone, and most of all, finally be together with C. C. This movie delivered exactly that.

The plot itself may not be as grand or complex as the series, but the emotional closure it provides is beautiful. The final scene, where Lelouch and C. C. disappear into the crowd after he basically confesses his love, accompanied by the song Revive, was the perfect ending I needed.

In short: this isn't about outdoing the series. It's about healing the wound the finale left behind and giving Lelouch and C. C. the ending they deserve. For that, I loved it.

This movie is like an amazing and well written fanfiction of the series. I saw some negative reviews about how many plot holes and out of the context of the series this movie was. Obviously they didn't get the point. This movie wasn't the continue of the series but it was a possible scenario of what could have happened.

Theres not much to say other than that its a must watch in my opinion. It is one of the best movies I have ever seen and I think will ever see. I suggest watching Code Geass 2006 before watching this Masterpiece or you might get confused.

Even If I watched it I'm going to get the Blu-Ray.
