After 9 years, Sailor Moon Crystal is finally over. Comparing the beginning of this reboot to the end is almost like night and day. Sailor Moon Cosmos is the second adaptation of the Sailor Stars arc of the manga. It does a much better job at adapting the original storyline of the manga than the 90s anime (that is VASTLY different than the manga). Where Eternal had some issues in regards to the pacing, these movies were paced a lot better (despite being the same length as Eternal as well).

more things that weren't in the manga, the additions that are in the movie are sufficient. Instead of feeling like a stripped version of what happened in the manga (like Eternal), many scenes that were in the manga that aren't in the movies were replaced with original content to compensate (part of the ending just to name a part). The visuals are also gorgeous. A lot of time was put into making sure this movie was visually stunning, it looks like an updated version of the 90s anime. In my opinion, these movies are the best that Sailor Moon has ever looked in an animated form. Overall, I think these movies are great, and they do a great job at adapting the mangas ending that was very different in the 90s anime. Most Sailor Moon fans will enjoy these two films a lot.
