Spectacular Production!

Warning: Spoilers
From the series to the mini season 2 Netflix has given us, this show has lived up to hype and expectations from awkward or funny Meliodas interactions (depends on how you see it) to highly explosive fights. This movie is really no exception to every reason you would watch the series.

You learn about a whole new world you feel like you already know. Well, it's almost the opposite in every way from location to characters. Meliodas and his "doppelganger" Solaad felt like the same person with only one difference. Finding his courage. Meliodas you can say already has the confidence and courage to do anything he wants while Solaad had the weight on his world and had to learn to stand up to show he really was a leader. The contrast between the two gave such a connection to both worlds, being the surface and the sky world. You get a part of both worlds shared to finally join and be one giant force.

The opening of the movie felt like a history lesson to the sky world and gave just enough information to understand the joint to both worlds. The introduction of the characters felt natural but a little coincidental, but that can slide. And from the old characters feeling nostalgic and the new characters feeling like the first bite of a delicious "apple pie" that Solaad makes not Meliodas.

Action was a big part in this film and felt like it was just enough to maybe a little too easy, the 6 knights felt almost like a cake walk. Other than the difficulty the fights looked steller. And the final beast actually felt like it was something to max out everyones power to defeat, even if it didn't fight back at all, it felt like a ticking time bomb to save the sky world.

The one complaint I had towards the movie is with 3 of the 6 knights. They felt like stop signs you could just plow through with ease and were pretty uninteresting. The looks of all the knights felt good but not great. Interesting choices there but nothing too compelling. (Other than the needles, that was really cool) Also I didn't feel as

This movie definitely reached my high expectations with action, characters, and introducing new villains and heroes. Even if some of the villains felt a little lackluster, they still added to the films greatness. I recommend this film to anyone who loves great action, uncomfortable humor, and an overcoming an impossible task story to anyone!
