I'm not caught up with One Piece by any means, but that didn't keep me from enjoying this film! The animation and effects are visually very appealing. The songs were tacky at the worst, and while the plot was pretty predictable, just going with the flow of the movie allowed me to enjoy the antics. I'm not sure how this plays into canon (if it IS canon), but Uta is decently complex and stunningly over-powered. I loved seeing the extent of her devil fruit powers, and her dynamic with Luffy was entertaining, too. Besides the crowd being a bit rowdy, I had no serious gripes with this movie. A fun watch, and if you're dedicated to the franchise, probably a lot to discuss too.

Of course it will have songs, and I personally loved it. It was different from conventional shonen meathead action. The story felt canon, although I doubt it is canon. It also revealed a lot of information on Shanks which is basically the second main driving force of the movie. Uta was a great new character added to the movie and scenes with her and luffy were always amazing. My personal favourite character from the movie was definitely BEPO and all the Shanks crewmembers. They were all great!

Overall, it had a good message, good action and great moments. The first half is kind of slow which was the only drawback in my opinion.

Boring, pointless film. I fell a sleep 30 minutes into it and was awakened by noisy scenes that had no substance.

Much ado about nothing.

The songs were good, versatile though extremely loud. It was a burst of colors and cool fighting scenes where everyone's abilities had a chance to shine and be utilized and challenged by someone who seems invincible . The main conflict is kind of predictable, I saw it coming and it is always the same where so much time is lost till the big reveal instead of using it to strengthen the plot and engaging the characters more.

I regret watching it, the time I lost and the money I spent on the tickets in a weekend that could've been used for something better.
