Precure All Stars Movie DX: Minna Tomodachi☆Kiseki no Zenin Daishuugou!

This is the movie I've been waiting for so long to watch. I I haven't given it a 10/10 because of everyone's complaint: It lacks a bit of individual interaction between the characters (and characters interaction is the main reason of this movie). But I really liked the dynamics between them. It's not just them simply becoming friends, there are different styles. I kinda got the vibes that Pretty Cure 5 are the most appreciated (by very very few). Maybe it has something to do with them being the biggest squad, but I felt like Nozomi led a very bit the dialogue. I don't think ... this is a negative point, it's just the role Pretty Cure 5 were assigned. Then we have Max Heart squad, which I felt they're the overappreciated, but this time in fights. Splash Star squad hasn't been given a special treat in my opinion, they were just part of the nostalgic element along with Pretty Cure Max Heart. And Fresh Pretty Cure were like the newbies, I really loved this. They were the ones that fell in dispair, that were trapped inside Fusion, that were been saved by the rest. Specially in these three moments: the first one, when they were amazed by the appearance of the rest of the squads surrounded by light; the second one, when Peach thanked the rest for saving them and they all kinda "pamper" by convincing them that Fresh squad saved themselves, that they didn't need help. I think Fresh Pretty Cure were the most happy of all for getting to know the rest of Pretty Cure, like the newbies in a high school admiring Seniors. What's more, every Fresh Pretty Cure was given a considerable important part of the dialogue. In other squads, the leaders kinda overshadowed the rest of the members (Luminous was the most overshadowed of all). The fights were freaking good, the animation was fluid and pretty powerful. The hits were charged full of force and triggered devastating reactions. I really loved this movie, but I wished individual interactions appear more.

I watched the DX All Stars Movie for Fresh Precure! This special was EXTREMELY special, and featured all Zakenna, Uzainaa, Kowainaa, and Hoshinaa come together as one MEGA MONSTER, a shadow that wants to simply envelop everything in darkness! (generic villains work when they're essentially made to be destroyed by the Cures every week, so it's fine). All the fairies had a meeting in the Palmier Kingdom about the dangerous unnamed shadow thing, which has been appearing and attacking all of the groups of Precures and absorbing their attacks, then leaving. They also put a different set of mascots with each set of characters (for ... instance, Saki and Mai met Coco and Nuts, and Yes 5 met Lulun, etc). This was a great way to set this up, and ended up with Chiffon being left alone holding a Miracle Light and everyone was afraid she got absorbed. Eventually the shadow thing makes the entire sky turn black and EVERY CURE meets up downtown at the central area
It's SOOO badass when they have their theme songs play as they kick ass to their own monsters from their seasons, and we get to really see the differences in combat here: Black and White rely on pure physical power almost exclusively and Hikari uses hope and light, Saki and Mai have these "forcefield" powers in the series (they have unnamed magic abilities, like the ability to charge up and blast themselves into the sky or make a magic shield to lessen an impact), Yes 5 relies on weaponry AND physical-based magic (Sapphire Arrow, Prism Chain, Shooting Star, etc) and Fresh does more of a Dance Dance Revolution game than a fight XD everything is amazingly choreographed and all of the characters pop right off the screen, none overshadowing another one. They're all just as entertaining, and they all combine of the greatest power ups ever seen: Extreme Luminario, Twin Stream Splash, and Rainbow Rose Explosion combined with a new attack from Fresh that looks like a TRIPLE BLAST AT ONCE that I haven't seen in the series yet, and the monster is destroyed. Before long the movie has ended not overstaying its welcome and we get lots of credit shots of all the Cures bonding
It was amazing to see Yes 5 try to find the Tako Cafe, while Saki and Mai visit Nuts House and Nagisa goes to Pan Paka Pan to try the chocolate cornets XDDDD and we get a group photo of everyone, mascots included, as the final credit scene, all smashed into a huge photo XDDDD! In case you couldn't tell I think I'm loving All Stars this is easily the best part of the series and this one gets a solid 9/10!

I'll cut to the chase to tell you why this movie is garbage.

I know that each Precure group has their own anime series, but still the relationship between the characters in this short period of time is very strange. But this isn't even the biggest problem, the problem is the story itself.
It is amazing how this movie contradicts itself in a matter of minutes. The villain's goal is to make everything be one thing, and then he starts, only he never really absorbs the powers he needs for this, even with many opportunities (nothing convenient, right?). Now comes the ultimate contradiction: The villain spends the ... entire movie saying that everything must become one thing, and the characters rebut by saying no, because each person has their own feelings, and guess what? Yes, in the end they use the powers they get for another convenience and speak that their powers and their feelings are one. WTF????? The whole movie is passing a supposed message that each one is each one, and in the end the characters themselves say that their feelings are the same? For them it may become one, but the villain can't do the same just for being the villain, right? It's amazing how things contradict themselves just for the "sake of it".
The only thing that saves this movie are the action scenes.
