Rijndri Load of rubbish!!
Neive Bellamy Excellent and certainly provocative... If nothing else, the film is a real conversation starter.
Ezmae Chang This is a small, humorous movie in some ways, but it has a huge heart. What a nice experience.
Justina The film never slows down or bores, plunging from one harrowing sequence to the next.
am-i-crazy It is good enough to spend some time but it is definitely not a good movie.The strong point of the film was the animations. They were well done even though sometimes they went overboard. It felt a lot less like one piece and too much like naruto (the running) or dbz (the gear second).The plot is OK but way too dramatic to be plausible. How could an old admiral that sworn his life to justice and to defend people decides that it is fine to kill thousands of people ? This is ridiculous. If they had changed the volcano explosion killing everyone to a volcano barrier that no one could cross, pirates would have been stuck in the new world and new pirates wouldn't have been able to seek the One Piece. So pretty much the same goal would have been reached.And the last fight ? What was that ? No music, no powers, just fists, and heavy breathing ? And then they decide to stop ? Just like that ? Very disappointing and anti climatic.For the music, what is the point of putting avril lavigne in there ? It was so off it completely got me out of the movie.In the end, even though it is about One Piece and it had a very good story line, they screwed up by overdoing everything. Too much drama kills the drama.
J M Most satisfying part of whole movie was beginning, when Z was waving his cool weapon around, where charge sounds really gave Omph to his hits. And then everything just gets worse.Gravest sin committed by this movie is reducing whole Strawhat crew character to few bullet points, and then checking them off one by one (apparently, Nami character consists mostly of her boobs). In some cases it flows into story nicely, but mostly it just feels forced. Sidekicks of Z get one appearance to seem strong, then one to get defeated and let heroes show off their moves.Fact that movie tries to appeal to fans by showing off well known parts of Strawhat crew characters makes next sin even worse. Whole lot of things just conflicts what we know about universe. Sea trains. Multiple. In New World, the crazy sea. Nami as kid with tattoo. Garp being on front-lines. Don't get me started on how nobody is even trying to stop Z or even help people.Too much stuff was thrown in just for looks, not enough attention was paid to making an actual movie.
Wouter Vermeyen Let me stress that I liked the movie, but I feel some points worth mentioning about it.First while Z is a good villain. But you can tell that the ending will definitely a battle between him and Luffy so that all previous battles will end in his favor or his escape. This takes out a lot of tension and could be solved by some better sidekicks for Z.Second is the navy seriously trying to catch him? After the first attack to come together and all say how dangerous he's and that he must be stopped. But they don't send any serious force after him. At the second island only one squad of the force send to stop is trying to do that while the rest is drinking in a bar and they couldn't even spare a vice-admiral for it only two captains and some regular grunts. Later the entire force of the marines with at least 5 vice admirals and 1 admiral arrives as the fighting virtually over, is this really the response to fight an ex admiral with a huge fleet who has gone crazy. And why did Z need this fleet at all? it seems like he and his two side kicks did everything and could have done it with one ship.Third, it seems like Z was never seriously considering to destroy the third endpoint as he could have done that when he arrived but he choose to wait for luffy and then after a rather inconclusive fight simply gives up and fights the navy to death.Fourth, it was off course completely nonsense for anyone who doesn't know one piece at least well. Virtually none of the regular characters are introduced both for the strawhats and the navy. If you don't know what haki is, you can only guess why peoples fists turn black. Only the devil fruits are touched upon very briefly. Why you can't expected to explain the entire lore, this rather narrows the audience in my But I still liked it.
Jv Anidem Zoalliv This is the first one piece movie that will take your breath away until the end. This packs with a lot of actions and great flash backs especially the story of "Z" behind his past. The management had decided to print out another 2 million copies of the film so they can accommodate the moviegoers. Originally, this movie has 2 million copies and yet weren't enough for us ONE PIECE fans. Luffy shows great fighting ability here as he just always shown in the series. But the thing is, the movie has done with great camera tricks as if you were watching 3D animations and that's the difference. Non the less, this film is a hell kind of epic.This also shows and would make you think that the monster trio were in par with admirals for their monstrous strength shown as the movies get into its epic battle. Even the WG and Marines got shocked after the SHs beat Z and his comrades. Their names resounds all over the world after they took care of the Z pirates.
