Review of Sword Art Online the Movie: Ordinal Scale

First of all, I did not hate Ordinal Scale, I just want to clear that up. SAO as a series has always been accompanied by great music. OS definitely lives up to that in my mind. OS also kept up the amazing dungeon designs that SAO does well. (As a person that is being a GM for D&D, I enjoy that) It also was interesting to see how they dealt with the switch from VR to AR, and the problems that the VR community would deal with by having most of their people spend their time in AR. And my final comment for what it did well,it didn't leave the villain's intentions ambiguous...

Continuing on to my critiques, while watching, I felt more obligated to watch it than actually enjoying it. The story felt rushed. Having written scripts for shows before, they did a lot of "Telling" (there is a technique called "Show don't Tell" where you explain back story and motivations through the story occurring rather than saying it out loud.)

There were attempts at foreshadowing, with the robots, but they didn't develop it enough and focus on the symbols enough to give the viewer enough time to be able to recognize it

OS also had some problems with their characters, primarily, their villains.
Despite them being intelligent, they are naive. This doesn't make them interesting.
Also, although it was cool to watch, Kirito was too OP at the end. Seriously.

For anyone that actually read my review of Ordinal Scale, thank you for your time.
