A movie I find difficult to believe anyone would truly enjoy. The hardcore bleach fan will see it as a drawn-out filler episode, the shounen fighting fan will see the action as predictable as it can possibly be, and the rest of anime fandom will see it devoid of any production value whatsoever.

This is a movie. We have characters that don't blink, that each have their own permanent expression plastered on their face. There are many scenes in which the background is completely static while displaying people in the midst of conversion or actions. And this while 'rustling and mumbling' background
...
effects play. It looks ridiculous and akin so something the History channel does when it displays still photographs. Again, this is a movie, not some episode they had 2 weeks to pump out. The shortcuts are distracting and ill-used.

There isn't anything you wont understand even if you only have the most cursory knowledge of Bleach. I have nothing more to add that wasn't already said in the opening statements. Plus, I am not a fan of spoilers.

Typical Bleach. If you don't know what that means, then substitute bad shounen action a la Naruto. The dialogue is predictable. The reactions expected.

For a 2006 production, this movie falls well below the standard. We are talking about the year of Haruhi and Code Geass. This movie seems as though it took about zero time to throw together, and as such is a poor final product.
