Review of The Disappearance of Haruhi Suzumiya

I feel extremely bothered for giving the score that I did, and there are two reasons for that: it is on MyAnimeList top10 of films and the amount of reviews giving this film 9 and 10. The film is good, but maybe what I am missing, and some other people will as well, is a bit of context. If this film was a standalone kind of thing I would give a 7 with no remorse, but it seems that people really liked the series, 1st season was great, 2nd season was bad and this film was the series' redemption, that's why I think people gave thefilm a high score because it saved the series from the 2nd season fiasco.

I haven't watched anything about those characters before, so I am not emotionally attached to them, but don't mistake me thinking that this is a bad movie, which is not, but it's just not as good as people are portraying - if your interest is just watching the movie, maybe if you watch the series first you will enjoy it better.
