Ok, this isn't the best film of the year, but all the criticism is really non sensical.
The film really only lacks one big thing and one big thing only, proper pacing.
If it wasn't paced as slowly as it was, it would surely have had much much better reviews.
Not only does that mean more editing, but also cutting out nonsensical or time consuming scenes, of which there are plenty.
Apart from that I don't think the choice of the lead was a good one. The acting was one dimensional. Yes all hell has broken loose but a good lead would smile, laugh, reminsence, get angry from time to time and not just show just one emotion all the time.
The movie leaves alot of areas that could be explored in other media for sure.
The special and visual effects are absolutely world class. Some of the scenes are true visual poetry or new renaissance. Fantastic in my opinion while others would say he was trying too hard.
Overall, the two movies should have been less than half the run time in total.

So I watched the movie without knowing that this is an anime adaptation, however the name did ring a bell.
The action in the movie is top notch and the comedy is as one would expect from an anime (yes, it did feel like one).
I did feel they didnt lean into the pervy comedic thing as much but that was only because it really did turn into a 'city crime chase' kind of a movie in the second act.
The third act was slightly underwhelming but that may only be because i am so used to the marvel movie, end of the world scenrios, final boss fight idea.
I loved the characters, great action, the city looks amazing and as it should and overall just a good time.

If you enjoy action comedy this is the one for you. Not a single episode is boring, not a single second is wasted. It's full speed from beginning to end.
Excellent characters, great charisma between all of them. They truly make a great team. The casting was impeccable and everyone did a great job.
The humour landed as it should have and even when it bordered on clichés it seemed it was well aware.
It will keep on the edge and is definitely one you should watch with a group of friends who are looking to have some weekend fun.
Deep down we all wishes we had friends as cool as the cast of the show.
