I really, really enjoyed it. If I was rating it based on enjoyment alone, 9/10, but if I had to place aside my bias for the seven deadly sins and rate it objectively, it would be 6/10. The plot was mediocre, the characters' motivations were weak or even never explained, the villains were disposable, a few plot holes here and there. But damn do they know how to choreograph the fights and build up hype. Every moment I was giddy with excitement, wanting to see Meliodas and the sins bring out the big guns. I wanted to watch one and a half hour of my
...
beloved sins demolish some baddies and I got that. I mean if they were able to improve the character development and plot, maybe even humanize the villains, explore the rift between traditional and new thinking in the celestial realm, hell yeah it would have been great, but you know sometimes you just want to see some good ol beat downs. So if that's what you're looking for, especially if you don't feel like you've had enough after season 2, yeah go for it. But to anyone else, it might end up feeling lackluster.
Side notes (don't have to read, just some thoughts):
This movie really regained my respect for the franchise, especially after that shitshow of a season 2. I don't know what the hell happened to the animation, character development, pacing and overall directing in the second half of that season but it was handled very poorly to me. I think they adapted the manga panel by panel, which basically robbed them of the freedom to improve on the pacing (which made sense for the manga but not for the anime) and to change any weaknesses (too many flashbacks, unnecessary characters, unorganized separation of the sins, weak training arc, etc). The manga itself is kind of decreasing in quality too, from what I've read. Maybe the mangaka is rushing things, because the chapters that were adapted into season one were great.
Anyways, this movie demonstrated that the studio is fully capable of balancing the essential elements in an anime. I have high hopes for season 3.

I like Black Butler, don’t get me wrong, but this Movie was PURE SHIT. This goes to show that everything after season one is bull crap. The producers have milked the franchise so much that they have become saggy old granny tits. To the people that dabble in Black Butler because of the husbandos, it is not worth it, turn back now.
This wasn't a movie, this was a filler episode that lasted for two hours of excruciating pain. The plot was literately titanic + zombies. There was horrific CGI and no effort into the sound track. Too many flash backs, too much effort incorporating all
...
the previous characters, and there was extremely unrealistic character development for Elizabeth. Suddenly she can wield two swords now and climb on walls. She also had a stupid backstory explaining how difficult it was to not wear high heels since Ciel isn't tall. Boo friggin hoo. For some reason Ciel has shown an exaggerated increase in his love and protection towards Elizabeth, which I call bs because he’s never done that before. Sebastian also became uh...useless? He couldn't fight back against a grim reaper, which we all know he has done many times before!
The movie was horribly directed, with weird bits of comedy shoved in the most serious situations. Every two minutes when zombies go after Ciel, some kind of stupid joke is introduced, like the snakes talking or something.
Also, undertaker is revealed, to be a grim reaper? W-what? Why. For some reason he becomes an asshole that experiments on humans. So out of place and nonsensical. No follow up either. There was no direction in this, what was the point of going on a ship? For Ciel to carry out his duties as a loyal dog? To kill zombies? Why zombies? What? Honestly is this how the manga is later on? That’s terrible. Why is book of murder so good but book of Atlantic is so bad.
Don't be fooled by the ridiculously high score on this movie because only a few hundred people watched this and of course 95% of those people just like Sebastian or Ciel.
3/10. Don't watch it please.

I'm surprised every review here is praising the manga. It was pretty bad and the only reason why I was able to read it all was because of any slivers of romance between Hak and Yona. Anyways I'm gonna start ranting now. (spoiler alert)
Akatsuki no Yona is one of those mangas that have to crank out fillers in order to stay alive. 132 translated chapters so far and we still don't know why Soo Wun killed King II! Do not be deceived, I thought this historical manga had the potential to explore the character development of a maturing princess, battle strategies, and intriguing plot twists.
...
BUT NO. Each arc becomes worse and worse. It took them 48 chapters to gather the dragons, no revenge or progress towards doing something for the Kindom of Kouka. I literally skipped 10 chapters one time and I didn't miss a thing. You know those lay chips with 40% chips and 60% air? yeah basically that’s what this is.
The comedy is so cringy, and is used to relieve the atmosphere even when there is a battle going on around them...seriously? And everyone gets hurt but miraculously survives every fight.
The plot armor is so strong, how does Yona keep meeting Soo-wun on the damn streets? And we never understand why she forgave him? It's so unrealistic. Hak at the very least tried to kill him.
The characters are also pretty bad. Yona has been kidnapped at least 10 times because her hot bodyguards leave her at exactly the right moment and come back in flashy entrances to save her. AND EVERYONE IS IN LOVE WITH HER. She never learns from her mistakes and ignores her safety because she doesn't want to use her bodyguards as shields. And somehow her "death glare" is scary enough to make soldiers back away. The hell? Thats her special power?
She learns about the state of the country through her travels and then becomes more benevolent and caring. Heck she drags some other nobles to the outside world and it's enough to shed light on their ignorant existence? If it was that easy we should just throw the nobility out onto the streets. That's the only development we've seen so far. She is more caring and savage...through the power of traveling.
The arcs explaining the backgrounds of each dragon are also extremely shallow. The magic of the legendary powers isn't explored very well either. They just serve Yona...because the dragons wanted to? Are they the only magical beings in this world? Why did the original dragons choose the first generation in particular? How come there is a priest that can talk to the gods? What Gods are there even. The author used them just so that Yona would get some protection, and they can't even save her properly.
Then there is Yun or Yoon? He was included just to solve the problem of food, shelter, healing, etc.
And there are so. many. side characters that are never relevant later.
The art was fine.
In conclusion. It was bad. Please just read something else. There are tons of better shoujos out there. Unless you are here to get some of that action between Yona and Hak. Which only happens about every 5 chapters. God damn it. She does fall in love with him though. At the very least the author hasn't pushed the romance out of the way completely and left us hanging.
