This is the worst of the MHA movies released to date... because it lacks the core component that makes MHA so enjoyable, HEART. The villain has a (semi) solid foundation to build upon and is a cool story trope, but they fail to develop him in any meaningful way. "You're Next" is one of those strange movies where there is no protagonist or really a main character. If the story were well-crafted and split the "main character energy" elegantly among the large cast then it wouldn't be an issue. But it isn't well-crafted and there isn't any heart, soul swelling, or ... even minorly impactful emotional moments.

Fact is the writers changed nothing, taught nothing, reused everything, conveyed no emotion, overused heartstring tropes, and it was so *mid* or low'ish tier that people in the theater were laughing at the movie. That's NOT good but was appropriate. This isn't a terrible movie, it's just well below average and a failure of writing. When your "best" OH HELL YES moments have the theater occupants shaking their heads and chuckling instead of being teary eyed or wanting to roar there is a problem.

Animation was solid with a few sub-par moments but mostly high quality to expectations, music was good, dubbed voice acting was great, costume design was good, settings / backgrounds were varied and detailed, bad guys with average --> good quirks explored decently, it was a movie made well and written poorly.

To give it a fair assessment my next viewing will be subbed, but I don't have any hope really of it being worth the experience...

Should you see it? Sure if you have been excited for it (I sure was). Go in thinking the movie will be terrible, just completely bad, and then maybe you'll leave saying "Hey I liked that, not terrible!".
