Review of Goblin Slayer: Goblin's Crown

So, I gave the movie a 7. Maybe you are wondering "did this guy watch the same thing I did ?" Yes I did; to be honest the pacing of the adaptation, the 25 minute recap, and most importantly the atrocious CGI at nearly every part single instance of character movement should have earned this movie closer to a 5. The reason I did not rate it that low is because, I read the light novel. It's been a year or so since I read volume 5, and its one of my favorite volumes. Seeing it get an adaptation is amazing, becauseit serves as like a checkpoint showing the growth of the party since their first adventure. The group's teamwork has improved to the point that they make almost no mistakes. They know each other well enough to cover for each other's weaknesses subconsciously and trusting each other (dwarf shaman getting the extra weapons for gs, gs giving the way less experienced priestess the autonomy when to use her miracles). In the novel it is more explicit on the parallels between goblin slayer and noble fencer, showcasing his growth as a person, and the danger the world faces from a monster like a goblin paladin. So this movie would probably anger most light novel/manga fans. However, the art, when still, is very good (I swear they spent the whole budget on priestess). Most of all I wish they explained how lizard-man priest is much weaker due to the cold. Yeah I guess this is where the review ends, never wrote one before on MAL (wait maybe I have?). In other words movie was enjoyable despite all the flaws, pick up the LN if you were a fan of the anime series or movie, you won't regret it.
