Review of Sword Art Online the Movie: Ordinal Scale

The SAO movie is the same old same old if you're familiar with the show. It's a lot of dumb shit but this time it has great animated fight scenes. This is probably one of the stronger parts of the SAO anime series however, it's nothing new but I still got some enjoyment out of it. One of my major complaints is that once again the show sets up stakes and rules that it does not seem adhere to, ESPECIALLY considering they aren't in a game, they're playing in the real world. This ultimately makes some of the cool fight moments make you think, holdon.... how the hell can they jump from there to there with out breaking a leg or at least twisting an ankle or something.
As well as, some of the big 'oh no' moments can simply be solved by just taking the damn headset piece off. Like I said at the start there is a lot of dumb shit in this movie just like the normal SAO series. There's nothing I can say to people who hate this to give it another crack because it's the same crap, and it's nothing new for the people who enjoyed the show so it's essentially a re-skin of what they have seen many years ago.

The major positive for me was the fight animation, those partial effects and backgrounds for the game world were very nice to look at.

All in all it was ok but apparently the meta is either love it or hate it so....justify it however you want.
