I'll keep this review brief and straightforward.
Story
The One Piece narrative The problem with Film Red is that it's okay but not amazing, and I'll explain why that's a problem because we, the fans, had extremely high hopes for it. Film Red isn't horrible by any means; in fact, I think its a decent plot. The story is a bit unique, I suppose, but not that great to be completely honest with you. I won't spoil anything, but I will say that I pretty much knew exactly what was going to happen from the first 20 to 30 minutes of the film. Thats how generic and predictable it was. Keep in mind that generic doesn't always mean bad; it just means that it was normal, which is not a great standard for the iconic one piece.
Fun?
Despite the chaotic nature of the film and its stunning visual appeal, without a compelling storyline, all is for naught. It's not their fault; rather, it's my or, should I say, our fault for setting the bar too high for this movie. It's a good movie, but it just felt so boring. To be completely honest with you, the pacing of the movie is shit. The first hour feels like a waste of time. It was stretched out a lot and didn't accomplish anything. I really do love one piece and its movies, which is why I cant lie to myself and tell you that this movie is good when it clearly isent good or fun in any way. one piece could be so much better then this, And I find it sad that they wasted such potential on this generic and boring story. so yeah the movie wasn't fun it was just "OK"
last thoughts (sad reality)
Sadly the movie was generic and honestly it could have been way better. We expected way more than this but they disappointed us with this boring film. Also uta's character and reasoning for being the "villain " was very dumb and didn't seem realistic or interesting at all I liked Uta because of her cheerful personality, But making her the villain wasn't the best idea here. She could have been way better as something else if you compare her to Bullet (stampede villian) she is in comparison nothing but garbage she lacks everything a Villian needs meanwhile, Bullet has everything a Villian needs, I view this movie as "bad" when compared to the previous movie stampede which was amazing in my opinion.
Conclusion
please dont take this in a negative way, i love one piece but at the same time i have to be honest and call this movie out for what it is which is "bad" or "average" Depends on how you see it but it cannot in no way be greater then a 7. It lacks a lot and doesn't excite you for what comes next because you already know what's going to happen. It is so predictable and boring I'm sorry one piece fans but this movie has failed us :(.
