Bayonetta: Bloody Fate is basically a retelling of the first Bayonetta game, but with some extra context and backstory added in.
I enjoy playing Bayonetta and other character action games like Devil May Cry, so this was already something I was interested in. If you like those types of games, there's a good chance you'll enjoy this too.
The soundtrack is the same as the game, which is a great choice because the music absolutely bangs. The original voice actors also return, with Hellena Taylor and Yuri Lowenthal reprising their roles, which helps the film feel closer to the game.
One thing I really liked was seeing the game's weapons and moves translated into the film. If you've played Bayonetta, you'll recognise a lot of the details, and it's a really cool feeling seeing the things you u…

For those who have not played any Bayonetta game: The plot just for this movie is self-contained for all of the events that just occur within the chronological events of this movie. You will become interested in Bayonetta from this movie and as for what happens in this anime, not to spill the beans, but it is similar to anime season series and movies where our protagonist has to recover something and thus then has to confront an existential issue. Other than that, this movie is just one of those "adaptations" which seek to bring to art of anime, motion film, a game series.
I would not exactly recommend this movie adaptation of the series to avid Bayonetta players and gamers since it only one of its kind: Anime adaptation in a movie and it just a minor eye in the scope of Bayonetta

I've never played a Bayonetta game. The only thing I know about her is she's my main in Super Smash Bros Ultimate. Maybe the reason I couldn't enjoy this is because this was strictly for the Bayonetta gamers, but even then it shouldn't have been this dull. I find the idea of a witch waking up after centuries and having to kill all these angels cool if I'm getting that right, but the presentation is so shallow. The animation isn't the worse but it's painfully average. The storytelling is so bad. Things just happen for ninety minutes and then roll credits. There's no excitement in any aspect of this. It's like the studio got a contract to make something based on Bayonetta and all the staff just get it over with to move onto the next project.

Games that get movie or TV show adaptations usually are extremely bad. But I feel like this is one of the better ones. They bring back the original cast from the game (the English version anyway) and I feel like the VA in the game is amazing! I would recommend this to people who played the game. If you haven't played it you will probably have a hard time with it, because the story is one of the weaker elements to the game. Also, don't watch this with kids around unless if you are fine with violence, nudity, and some um..... Interesting dialogue. And if you played the game you know what's up. Also young Cereza is the most adorable thing ever!!! Ahhh!! I love her so much!! You can watch it on YouTube for free if you are interested in watching it. Because I couldn't find it anywhere else. And…

TL;DR
Nice short watch for a cool older styled anime movie. I found this enjoyable although I haven’t played any of the games/know almost nothing about the lore. Good if you like witches and people fighting angels with hair and lots of partial (soft)nudity.
STORY: 5/10
I know nothing and the basic plot of this was easy enough to understand thanks to the few dialogue exposition dumps the viewer gets. Interesting enough to keep me watching the whole thing although the ending is easy enough to guess from not far in.
ART: 7/10
Cool 90’s style looking animation. Was reasonably well done, only a few scene felt kind of dark and occasionally the heads looked really small in proportion to their bodies in wide shots, otherwise it was fine.
SOUND: 5/10
No reaction much for myself either way alth…

Story
An interesting spin on the old heaven and hell fable. All questions to get answered at some point. To avoid some confusion recall the length the main character was kept away. Just because this plays with certain religions doesn't mean one with other religion faith can't grasp it's universal message of love.
Art
Played nicely with plot. Could be the resolution i watched but as far as finite details were concerned like amour appear during certain moments like changing appeared fuzzy.
Sound
Only issue was during the beginning. During the first battle in the church. The music used failed to play well. You could hear that it was music but as far as telling what the lyrics or tempo was you find your self at a loss.
Character
Each character has their story. The st…

This anime is amazing because it explains each element as well.
In addition to having a well-made art, the sounds match each scene ...
The ending was not as well-crafted as the rest, but the characters, especially the "little-chan", make up the "failures" ...
I do not think the note he received is that he deserves, because if we disregard-play, evaluate it just like anime, it actually outperforms many other ...

"WARNING: THE FOLLOWING REVIEW CONTAINS SPOILERS FOR BOTH BAYONETTA 1 & 2! READ AT YOUR OWN RISK!"
Video games movies are a hard bunch. How do you take a video game and translate it into live action? Will you take the risk of having a gigantic budget to achieve this goal by not only trying to make the movie look like the game but staying true to it's source or will you just half-ass the entire game by turning the movie that based of that certain property into a bunch of nothing? These are the questions that always linger to gamers and audiences whenever studios, either from Hollywood or international countries, decides on making movies based on games. The problem? They have no idea how to translate something that was great in a game into a film and even those who admit that it is a common…

As a fan of the Bayonetta game I did not pass up the opportunity to watch this movie. Seriously, I don't think there is one person here who didn't come to watch this without having played the games first and if you are someone who has not played it you should before even watching this.
Story 6/10
The story itself does not change from the game for the most part. It also retains most aspects from the original game. However, if you already played the games this is not anything new at all. There is no presence of a new concept and most the events that followed are as they are in the game. To put this game in the hour and a half time frame they did have to rush the hell out of the story as well so be prepared for that. Most of things you thought you were going to see aren't present in this fil…

After just finishing playing the game Bayonetta, I was surprised and overjoyed to hear there was a movie out; and considering how much I adored playing the game, I just had to see the movie.
Unfortunately, the movie fell a little flat. Compared to the game, a lot of things were cut out, and it only really focused on the major plot points. I suppose it is rather hard to fit a 10+ hour video game into a 1 and a half hour movie, but still.
I did enjoy the soundtrack though, and the animation; I especially enjoyed the extra scene in the hotel that didn't appear in the game at all. But other than that, the movie chopped and changes a lot of the scenes, making it almost a completely different setting from the game.
But; at the end of the day, I honestly enjoyed the movie despite these flaws,…

Do you like watching things happen? Think carefully about this question. Watching anime is essentially seeing a sequence of events set to music and sound. Under this definition, there could conceivably be an anime about anything, even grass growing. The reason this hasn't happened yet is because no one would care. Sure, things are happening, but why does that matter to you? You could go outside right now and see grass grow, or you could watch something you care more about, so watching Grass-chan Adventures is understandably low on your priority list. But why is that? Why do you care about some things more than others, even though both things are equally happening? The answer is emotional investment.
Bayonetta has a lot of things happening at any given time. Guns get shot, monsters get kil…

Before I start this review I must start by saying Bayonetta is easily
one of my Favorite over the top action adventure games EVA!!
This movie i feel is for those who have mainly played the game bayonetta. if you have not, It might not be worth seeing this.
Anyhow, seeing that there was an anime based on the game i was worried at first, that is until i got the chance to watch it.
The Movie for the most part was quite fun.
however Not as fun as playing the actual game though.
For those who have play the game Bayonetta you'll will be pleased to know that they have incorporated the characters and some of the soundtracks from the actual game to make this feel like the game itself. but does it live up to it?
Story - 5
Yes it is a bizarre story.

The movie reminded me of Devil May Cry but not as good.
Bayonetta a nice action game and all thought the game was good the anime was just normal and dull... started out with a combat scene and went on from there some jokes here and there and so on...
Bayonetta's attitude was priceless her attitude towards the enemies was fun to watch just like in game ... during the movie she tries to remember her past by battling her enemies , encountering some people that turn into her allies with twist and turns bayonetta is just a combat based anime with some minor gore elements.
For those who played the game or not i would recommend to watch it atleast once.

Okay, my 1st time writting a review in this page, and ill start with a simplistic comment: Bayonetta fans, dont overhype yourselves in expectations, the trailers are better than 90% of the movie.
I'll be concise. It's a watchable movie, in no way absolutely awful, but it is definetely nothing special.
The story is what you already know from the games, but its development is somewhat convulted and rushed as you might expect from a game that has some actual plot adapted into a movie. The scrips are bland, Bayonetta is Bayonetta, and the rest of the chars are just "there" 90% of the time, theres nothing noteworthy about them. Terrible villain and development for the villain.
The art ranged from orgasmic, to above average but sometimes it dropped to pretty bad, I have no idea why some frames w…
