The third Hero Academia movie sets us up with a premise of some sort of international hero operation on a grand scale with a fairly open premise and the ability to introduce some new foreign heroes, or even bring some (*cough* Captain Celebrity *cough*) that we've seen in print to the screen.
Well, this movie doesn't do that. We do get a few of them on screen, but we learn next to nothing about them. Most of the film is following Deku around, which is fair, given he's the main character and whatnot, but it would have been refreshing to have some new foreign
...
heroes showcased in the series. Kind of a wasted opportunity, but that's not too bad.
The story is mediocre at it's best, but thankfully it never really drops below poor. Of course, there's only so much you can do with about 100 minutes of run time, but I felt that instead of wasting time showing token shots of the other members of Class 1-A (and a handful of 1-B), they could have done a bit more.
The selling point of this is the animation, in my mind. It's well animated, big budget stuff in all of it's glory here. The action sequences are nice, and enjoyable. This is the main selling point of the film, in my mind.
Could have been better, but it certainly could have been much worse as well.
