Ok, I finally saw it, and hey, it was alright. No great work of art, but there was decent animation, a decent amount of fighting, things blowing up, characters I like using their signature moves, drama (simplistic, I admit), comedy (mostly poor), more fighting, and, ummm... a happy ending. It was nothing special, but it entertained me for an hour and a half, and really that's all I wanted.

It seems like they took no chances with this one. Standard story, plenty of scenes calculated to appeal to the fanbase. It would have been more interesting if they had experimented a little (maybe a different animation style), but then again experiments can fail miserably, while this is pretty much a sure thing. Hopefully the next one will be better.

BTW, are there ANY movies based on established series that are actually good? The One Piece movies I've seen were crap. The Oh My Goddess movie was crap. I guess the last Inu Yasha movie was decent, but the earlier ones were nothing special.
