Just finished seeing this and theaters and it was pretty good.

For starters, this is way better than any of the Naruto and some of the Pokemon movies all thanks to one aspect: the god tier animation. Most anime movies based on a long-running series always have good fight animation (minus some of the Pokemon movies) but I've never seen fights quite like this in one of these movies before. Considering this movie is 80% action the animation quality never really lets up. The finale especially was amazing to watch.

The villains were really cool as well and every character from Class-A gets their chance to shine, which was something I wasn't really expecting. Everyone gets their badass moment, and it was awesome to see some of the more underappreciated characters like Sero and Aoyama do some cool stuff.

The story however is pretty uninspired and is mostly just there to have some cool fights. It's almost exactly like some of the previous arcs in the show. The two kid characters are very cliched for this kind of movie and are almost carbon copies of other kid characters from this show.

The villain is also a carbon copy of All for One but that didn't really bother me because I thought he was cooler. Johnny Yong Bosch voices him in the dub and I think that made me enjoy his presence a lot more than it should have. He's one of the few anime dub actors that really makes edgy work and it made for some genuinely badass villain moments.

Considering how simple this movie is, I'm actually surprised how much I enjoyed it. The action is fantastic but everything else is pretty standard shounen movie affair. It felt like watching an episode of My Hero Academia in the theater. I think with a bolder story and a more unique location this could have felt like a real event. Especially if the story was actually canon as well.

Could have used more smaller comedic interactions with the characters. I really think that would have made the movie a little better in my opinion.

Overall, a good movie that's worth seeing if you're a fan of MHA. It doesn't reach the heights that it could have but it's better than most of the other shounen anime tie in films that have come before. Worth seeing in theaters if you have the chance.
