I’m a huge overlord fan but this movie is by far the worst representation of the story that I’ve seen. Luckily I read the novels but the plot moves so fast a non novel reader will probably have a hard time understanding what’s going on and they definitely won’t have a solid grasp of the characters that they introduce. So maybe the story isn’t great this movie but the action has to be entertaining at least right? Wrong! The movie also skips pretty much every major action sequence that should take place or if they do show it it’s a very short rushed version that’s ... not very satisfying to watch at all. Every season of overlord does a pretty good job of telling the story how the novels did with maybe a few details missing here and there but nothing major. If you’re watching this movie without reading the novels you’re doing yourself a disservice because this movie is just objectively bad both compared to the novels and even just as a stand alone movie.
