The Straw Hat crew seem to behave throughout the story mostly in repetitive ways from past series' episodes. But let me elaborate a bit on what I mean. All the hype about Eiichiro Oda being the one to write the script for this film I think it was mainly done for publicity reasons, as there is little substance to the actual story.ĬHARACTERS: The characters that we all love and adore are full of clicheistic behaviour and unnatural reactions. My score for the story is 3, yes you read it right, 3. There is almost NO VISUAL REPRESENTATION of the tragic that such a situation would represent, so the viewer remains unfazed emotionally most of the time. When I say that the reason is not worthy to mention is because the viewer just doesn't seem to relate to the seriousness of the situation, mainly because we only HEAR about what the bad guy (Shiki) is going to do. The crew just beats the crap out of the bad guy saving the damsel in distress in the process and all for some cheap reason.

There is absolutely nothing in this that could be considered a story. I don't wish to ruin anyone's enjoyment, that's why I will try to be as objective as possible and give all the arguments necessary for my score decisions.īUT LET ME WARN YOU, THIS IS A NEGATIVE REVIEW AND IT MAY CONTAIN SOME SMALL SPOILERS, SO DON'T READ IT IF YOU KNOW IT MAY AFFECT YOUR VIEWING EXPERIENCE!



I really had high expectations from this one, especially with all the hype around it and all, even though the past movies I am a big fan of One Piece and I especially like where and how the story is going in the manga and the anime series and that's why I was really anxious to watch this movie too, only to be wondering why have I even bothered after seeing as much as half of it. First of all, I decided to write a review for this movie because it left a strong impression on me, and not a pleasant one I might add.
