Review of Sword Art Online the Movie: Ordinal Scale
The art is, indisputably, incredible, both visual and sound effects are amazing, which makes you want at the screen more and more, the landscapes and character designs are BEAUTIFUL, but. God, the plot. It has quite a number of dead ends, misses, just stuff that doesn't add up. The story doesn't make freaking sense. They've tried so hard that they've ended up destroying the whole thing. It's terrible. I'm not going to talk about the "humor" that makes you want to kill yourself instead of laugh. And then there's the characters. I mean, I knew I couldn't expect much of this series, but they could've made thema LITTLE deeper? Marvelous male-mary-sue saves the world -again- and his little "yeah I know how to fight but always SOMEHOW for SOME REASON end up being unable to do it??? woah almost like all that matters about me is that I am pretty enough to be the male hero's love interest" princess. What a story. So original. Kirito is so freaking perfect that literally every girl around him is in love with him. And guys of course are joking around how hot is Asuna, not in love but, you know, horny. And no other couples or even friendships develop. It's just Super Hero, His Gilfriend, and some birds around for them to play with.
I just, it's all so plain, so boring. I love the animation, designs music, but that's all there's good to it. Unless you are a 12 years old with chuunibyou. Then you're probably a Kirito wannabe so you'll enjoy this.
