I only had access to the dub, which was horrifying, but between that and the super off-model character designs, I found myself rolling my eyes at this way too often. It seemed more interested in cramming everyone's catchphrases and special attacks that it forgot to have real, natural, interesting character interaction. It was just embarrassing.

The plot, for what there was of it, was fine for what it was - universal shonen movie plot #263, or whatever. It's fine, if you went into this expecting anything else, you forgot how nakama power works. But the execution is so bad that I just couldn't get into it, other than talking at the tv constantly for doing it wrong.
Quality Queen.

Also MOST be the first time Natsu and Gray seeing Lucy naked literary! ;) The Lucy x Eclair moment was wonderful ;-; sooo touchy.. From the knowing he was Eclair Father, to the ending of losing her.. ;-; damn.

Blood; concise, flashy battles; fluid, detailed animation in place of slow motion stills... is this still Fairy Tail!? This movie makes me wonder how much more engrossing the main series would be with this level of animation detail. It was incredibly flashy and extravagant, much more so than the series has any hope of being.

I don't get the complaints about the character designs or the art being off. Everything looked fine to me, except with the souped-up flair of the fluid animation and better attention to detail (where it counts, at least).

Being movie length meant the fights didn't have the time to take an entire episode exchanging generic attacks under Adobe After Effects slow motion frames, reducing the battles to a short series of key blows which is MUCH more effective IMO. But I think shounenfags like the exchange of generic attacks (how many times do we need to see FIRE DRAGON ROAR?) to build immersion (which I kinda get, I guess, sometimes) where a brief exchange of strategic attacks would suffice, so I understand that complaint, more or less, even if I don't empathize with it. I found my favorite fights in the series followed this formula as well while people often criticized them.

Story-wise this was a pleasant addition to Fairy Tail lore, it was cool to see drama with a neighboring country -- which we never see in-series, as the entire show takes place in Fiore -- and Eclair's character arc was surprisingly moving. I also found the standard character interactions surprisingly charming, considering I don't consider that a main series highlight.

It was quite interesting watching this coming right off the conclusion of the Tartaros arc. Maybe that might've made me appreciate it more.

Tweetie was cute and I was expecting it to end up being the phoenix. oh well.

Lucy was even more of a useless crybaby in this movie lol, of course she couldn't see the bigger picture at the end and was vehemently against the plan to the bitter end. The animation was pretty lame for an anime film, come on.... Typical shounen plot and twists, 6/10.

I knew this was going to come down to the typical shonen movie plot but I still didn't like it, for some reason.

Animation and art was great, some cool fights here and there too but the story is as generic as they come.
I feel like I've seen this story in so many different shounen series, the priestess that needs saving etc.

7/10

Had a hard time deciding on rating. If I did see this movie before, I don't really remember it and wasn't on my list. Also I think this movie is before relevance to comments I want to make (I've seen up to finishing 2014). I went 7/10 to 6/10 when Momon died, to really thinking about, and will go with 7/10. I cried a bit, but might be my mental state more so than the movie. I was laughing at dumb stuff but then wanted to cry instead.

Things that annoyed me:
-Guild being completely taken out by 3 people
-Cringe king
-Cringe OP guy
-Council literally being given ONE JOB by her dad, and was like "nah bruv, let the Earth explode!". Didn't they literally comment about it being a threat greater than Zeref?!
-Lucy being selfish preferring world be destroyed over someone who's 400 years old dying (they gonna die either way)
-Momon dying Q_Q_Q_Q_Q_Q_Q (but as we saw, all good I guess) (I really thought was gonna be like Natsu saves her by eating fire then eats pheonix because they are usually fire)

I am with Erza on that wedding dress, I'm no where close to as delusional as her, but relatable on the marriage thing. We shall be forever alone </3

They gave Gray a hard to take off top it looked like, but he still managed. Juvia lol.
