Fate/stay night Movie: Heaven's Feel - III. Spring Song

The Fifth Holy Grail War in Fuyuki City has reached a turning point in which the lives of all participants are threatened as the hidden enemy finally reveals itself. As Shirou Emiya, Rin Toosaka, and Illyasviel von Einzbern discover the true, corruptive nature of the shadow that has been rampaging throughout the city, they realize just how dire the situation is. In order to protect their beloved ones, the group must hold their own against the seemingly insurmountable enemy force—even if some of those foes were once their allies, or perhaps, something more intimate.

As the final act of this chaotic war commences, the ideals Shirou believes will soon be challenged by an excruciating dilemma: is it really possible to save a world where everything seems to have gone wrong?

Studio Ufotable’s finale to the last Fate/stay night arc is a mind-meltingly impressive piece of animation. The last couple of scenes don’t feel completely earned, and there are one or two other story beats that are a tad rushed or aren’t fleshed out enough, but I had a hard time being bothered by any of that because I was so utterly enraptured by how incredible it all looked. Ufotable’s movies and shows have always looked stunning, particularly their work with the Fate franchise, and that trend doesn’t appear to be changing anytime soon. I was constantly wowed by Spring Song’s extraordinary imagery, and Saber’s big ... battle is one of the most jaw-droppingly intense action sequences in the history of anime itself. Honestly, that duel alone almost earned it a spot here. All in all though, Spring Song – and the Heaven’s Feel entire trilogy – is worth the time of any Fate fan, or those looking for the best visuals that the anime medium has to offer.

Mixed Feelings

If you want a movie with a lot of good animation, go for it, this one is full of that, but as an adaptation it fails in a lot of ways, this is not just an "ok" adaptation, it's essentially a 20 lines essay about a 200 pages book, so the plot might be confusing, the characters be much less interesting than what they actually are, and yes, even the fights mostly lack in comparisson to the original material, so for the true experience i recommend to check out the Visual Novel.
Aside from that, if you don't actually know the source material, you might have ... a pretty good time, visually it's great, soundtrack is cool as well, the plot is still pretty good since the original material is amazing, but it's still like comparing a casual breakfest to a complete Christmas meal, it still has a great taste, but far from the real deal.

This is going to be a review of all three films. The first one is good, the second is when things start to slip up, and the third is just plain bad. There is potential in the setup, but the writers are so bad that they screw it up in the plot department.

The characters are all unlikeable, with the exception of sabre, the teacher and Archer, who are taken out of the picture early. We get no backstory for rider, who takes up so much goddamn screentime. At first Ilya tries to kill the MCs but then she joins them for no reason. Shinji ... abusing his sister was just gratuitous. Shirou never asks any of the questions begged by all the infodumps he received from other characters frequently, instead being content with chilling in his harem house. Also, how did Ilya know that her brother was selected in the beginning? The fuck?There's so much unexplained stuff, like what that earring Sakura was wearing that one time was.

Why have servants if the mages can keep up with them in a fight anyway? Are you telling me even after 4 goddamn grail wars neither Gilgamesh not sabre ever figure out that the grail is actually satanic or some shit? There is a mages association and prominent mage families but THEY DO NOTHING. Every one of the characters is related in a pretty dumb way, like literally 4 of the participants are from the same school. Stupid porn game writing. Show don't tell is the rule, but this series shows too much and what it tells is irrelevant drivel.

Shirou has no plan, no motivation, no personality no nothing. Why isn't saber, rin or hell, Archer the MC? Because it's a porn game, that's why.

No amount of pretty visuals saves terrible writing or characters.
