Unambitious anime movie that exists primarily so that there would be at least one movie attached to the series. If anything is impressive about it, it's the relative diversity of "requisite anime tropes" it draws from. They go to a carnival island where the rules of the main story apply less (never relevant), they need to climb to the top floor of a tower (that is never visually interesting), the movie is a movie-original escort mission (which never goes over well), the climax of the movie is two of the main characters combining their main attack. Being derivative isn't bad; it's often very good. However, I didn't find any impressive ideas to latch on to. There's something about passing the torch to the next generation, and how holding on to the past leaves us vulnerable, but that's about…

I am a big fan of Hero Academia but this movie sucks, it's so predictable and boring I could barely finish it. The dialog is so cheesy and the new characters aren't interesting at all. This only has a high rating based off the already popular tv show. I have no clue who would give this an 8 or higher that's crazy. I wouldn't recommend anyone to watch this just skip it, I was expecting better. This doesn't make me change my mind about how season 4 will be though I'm still looking forward to that. Maybe some very young viewers or new anime watchers would enjoy this but besides that I don't get the point of this movie. Season 3 was already doing well this just makes the show look bad to people that haven't seen it. If I had just watched this without seeing any of the tv show I would have thou…

This movie is serviceable. The story is simple, straightforward, predictable, and inconsequential. It all takes place on a far off island that we’ll probably never see again in the series. Since there are zero real stakes involved, it makes it hard to feel invested in what’s going on. I suppose that is what is to be expected with Shounen anime movies, though. The opening scene has a young All Might apprehending a villain which was probably the most exciting part of the whole movie. If the rest of the story were just young All Might adventures, I think I might have enjoyed that more.
The art doesn’t seem to stand out from the original anime up until about the last 10 to 15 minutes of the movie, where it seems like most of the budget went. The fight scenes are nothing unique and interesting…

If there is a specific level that a certain Anime have to achieve in order to be titled as a true mainstream show is getting a movie adaptation, from which a lot of newcomers can get a glance of what the show is really about and converting them into fans of the show until it comes all full circle. This is a crucial move to do as it can be the defining factor of a lot of potential fans to get in the show and many franchises fail at delivering the awaited experience. And it was about time “Boku no Hero Academia” made that move, and it scored like a Detroit Smash.
Story (8/10):
A lot of Movie adaptations of already established shows, be them great or not fall short on keeping on the same track and reserving the identity of the parent show as they carry on Movie's original story, and it ends…

I'm going to make this short, too many people are trying to view this movie as something that it was never going to be...this movie, like the anime, is supposed to make you feel good and happy with the whole "good triumphs evil". The plot was good (although kinda expected), the fight scenes were cool, and the ending wrapped it up in a nice box.
Story: 8
Although i'd say it's the most lacking part of the movie as a whole it's still really good compared to what we have come to expect from anime movies.
Art: 9
Your typical Boku no Hero Academia art style, not much else to say really.
Character: 9
Same as before, the kind of characters you have come to know and love.
Enjoyment: 10
It makes you feel good, it is a enjoyable experience and that is what matters.

Can you say typical shounen anime movie?
Like all shounen anime movies (see Dragon Ball and Naruto) this movie is filled with ridiculous reasons for the main cast to be in a position or location they would usually have no reason or even right to be in. Plot twists that anyone with an IQ above 30 could see coming just from the characters on the poster. Stupid plot armour power-ups that will have no reflection in the series as a whole ETC.
Just awful writing in general, however the animation and art are a notch above the anime series and just barely made this a worthwhile experience.

Story - 7/10
For a filler-ish shounen movie it holds up well enough story wise. Not too unique or twisting in terms of story but it gets the job done.
Art - 5/10
It doesn't look bad per say, but it arguably looks worse than the show and uses some effects that the show doesn't that kinda stand out, in a bad way.
Sound - 7/10
MHA has a good soundtrack, difficult to mess this up, however the music seems crammed in at points, almost as if they kinda wanted to put in every OST just for the sake of it, which does detract.
Character - 7/10
The characters from the show/manga act mostly like themselves. And the new characters are not bad, though they are not exactly compelling either. Not much to say.
Enjoyement - 6/10
Besides the first ~15-20 which had some recap, probably because they wanted…

I watched this movie some days ago and it's one of the worst movies I have watched in a long time and entirely just feels like a cheap cash grab.
Story
The story is the first big problem with the movie because the movie relies completely on plot conveniences and it's incredible just how predictable everything is I literally knew how everything will end in the first 10 minutes of watching it.
Art
Simply put, the art/animations in this movie are horrendous and it's unbelievable that Studio Bones released it like this. In some scenes they used really ugly looking CGI which didn't fit at all and somehow it feels like they just didn't cared about the movie at all and just wanted to get it quickly released to cash in on bnha fans which is a shame because the main series looks actually amazing…

Sorry for the google translation, I did my best
History: 5
The story is no big deal, part of the twists in the story with Dave, Sam, Melissa, Deku and the villain was terrible, seriously, it seems to be Naruto in the War, one thing after another that makes history change, it may seem strange, but think like the Akatsuki, the leader of each plot is that which is controlled by B, which is the will of C.
Art: 8
Nothing much different from the anime, in some parts the anime is better. My problem with art was that it
season three, when I knew this, I expected more.
Sound: 8
Nothing to comment on, not memorable either for good or bad sense
Character: 8 *
This note has one though. It's 8 if the characters are going to be reused at some point, I think so, but if they're just characters in the…

This movie is the very definition of mediocre.
First of all, right off the bat I'm gonna say, Boku No Hero is a series I deeply enjoy. Even tho I clearly understand It's pretty cliche and by-the-books, it's been overall nicely paced and competently directed. So, when I saw they were going to make a movie I became very excited. A movie has the perfect runtime to present a self contained story, where we can get to know our favorite characters in a more intimate way. The anime follows the events of the manga religiously, so I understand why there's no much room to improve upon the source material.
That's why I really looked forward to this movie. Right from the start we know this film it's pretty much strictly tied to what it can and can't do. This happens between the 2nd and 3rd season, so p…

here my second review,. first i just wanna watch west movie in cinema, but the seat is full. so, i just drag to another movie, then unfortunately i found this movie. i was really surpirsed.
i expect very bad from watcing anime movie in cinema, but this is good. the beginning was a bit boring , and i know what it will be come to end. so i just dont have anything good to this anime, but when it comes to fight, i was really excited, and to be honest its Really "GOOD" hahaa. maybe cause i am shounenfag, but seriously , its really good. i enjoy the movie so much, i really like the main character really showing his skill. you know when you watch the third season, there is only little that show the main character greatness or what should i call "power showing". i bring 2 friends with me, and the…

For several decades now, it has seemed like the classic shonen series (battle/fighting tournament) have been used to test out viewers just to see how shitty of a side story movies the industry can sell for fans without getting shit on. Needless to say, I was expecting the same from Hero Academia, but it actually end up being better than the entire 3rd season. I am beyond surprised.
*contains spoilers*
Story:
Our movie takes place in this place called I-Island in where people can freely use their quirks unlike in Japan. Our main characters, Deku and All Might, head here because reasons related to All Might's health which connects our story with All Might's friends, Dave and Melissa Shield. This soon splits our story in two half: in the other, All Might starts talking with Dave about his…

This movie isn't bad for it's first. You get some backstory of All Might's younger days. And throughout the movie class 1-A all played a big part in it. Even Grape Juice over here. You really get to feel the characters emotions very well! Especially Midoriya and All Might's. If you already love the anime I recommend you watch this. Especially sense it's canon to the actual series.
Story: 8/10
A bit predictable, but enjoyable nonetheless
Art: 7/10
Some parts get bad, overall arts beautiful
Sound: 9/10 Honestly MHA never fails with their sound
Character: 10/10
You can really feel them!
Enjoyment: 10/10
I really enjoyed this movie! Had a good laugh, goosebumps, & hype!
Overall: 9.34/10 With the recommendation to - watch it!

I Think this movie is a great addition to the series and it did an amazing job at setting a backstory for all might and new characters to the series that could play a huge roll next season (I hope). I HIGHLY recommend watching it in theatres, watching it with so many people was an experience on it's own and just the quality of the movie is much more appreciated on the big screen.
The animation is probably some of the best I've seen in any anime movie especially the fight scenes, it was like the entire movie was sakuga, they were just so fluid and was so nice to look at.
My only problem was that at times it felt like it could have just been a 3 or 4 episode sub-arc but I'm glad they made it into a movie.
It's not the best anime movie and it didn't make me emotional but as an addition to th…

Boku no Hero Academia the Movie: Futari no Hero is predictable, from the very beginning, but still a typical shounen movie that will make you smile.
It's an enjoyable movie, but this is overshadowed by the fact the artwork looks like a budget episode from the series (most of the time anime movies have better animation, but I find it's the opposite here).
They introduce the new characters well. Melissa despite being a little bland you can get behind her actions. Dave as well, when you find out his motivation and relationship with All Might.
Though I find the movie gives quite a bit of clunky dialogue with the characters, and at times it seems awkward, as it feels like the characters are just speaking "exposition". There's also a large beginning portion of the movie in the first act de…

This review is for the English dubbed version that I saw in theaters
"the best movie I've ever seen!!" is certainly not something I'd call this.
The story is pretty typical, nothing to really talk about. It's not garbage but it's certainly nothing unique.
The art is exactly like you'd see from a normal episode. In fact, a lot of this is like you'd see in a normal episode... it almost seems like IT IS A NORMAL EPISO-
The sound... what sound? Oh, you mean the amazing Soundtrack I expected to hear throughout the movie? Yeah... almost nonexistent. Where was it? IDK. It seemed like the sound designer took a fiesta for this one. Bits of dialogue with no background sounds whatsoever. Complete silence that, in a theater, was actually jarring to hear. Maybe Funimation screwed up the dubbed vers…

Just as expecting from a movie based on such I don't know how to put it unique, entertaining whatever.
Just got to see this movie in theater tonight and I really loved it as I expected the animation was a bit not older or choppy but I think made for more of a smaller screen maybe (or that could just be my sight).
No real complaints about this movie, the cast was on point the music was great like always.
Only other thing that I can think of that could maybe lose it points (which I really hope doesnt count as a spoiler if so very sorry).
Is that they have the recap of season 1 at the very end of the movie which if you are new to My Hero (saw it with my mom who hasn't seen the series yet, and seeing with my dad on Saturday.)
I could see that it could be a bit more confusing with it set…

This movie is what you would expect from a MHA movie. It centers around the lovable and diverse cast of characters, all in a self-contained arc of heroism and villainy. I walked into this movie expecting well animated action scenes mixed in with fun character interactions and dynamics. The movie did indeed match my expectations in that regard.
Story: 7
Not the strongest aspect of this movie, as it was pretty predictable and cookie-cutter for a movie about heroes. The plot can be basically boiled down into good guys hitting bad guys - which pretty much completely sums up the content of this show. Not all is as mundane as I am making it sound though, as the movie also contains some narrative points involving All Might that I'm certain many would find interesting. Additionally, there were s…

Saw the My Hero Academia Movie at Anime Expo about a month ago. If you know of a convention near you that will be airing the movie I highly, highly recommend checking it out there. The movie was pretty much made to be watched in an expo sort of setting. I can confidently say that if I was not in a room of screaming fan girls and boys it would be far less enjoyable. The movie overall is quite fanservicey, when the team enters the expo area that the movie takes place in they mostly end up splitting up in pairs. Pretty much every time Bakugo and Kirishima were on screen together the audience erupted into screams. In terms of visuals the sakuga in the very beginning battle with young All might and the very ending were absolutely spectacular. Especially the ending. Over time I've started to los…

Not the greatest anime movie I've seen, but definitely far from the worse. The plot is kind of predictable but the fact that it's not a filler movie that pulled a plot out of its arse, it actually provides us some background story of All Might and adds to his characterization earns an 8/10 from me.
Story: 8/10 Plot didn't really get me super excited as I watched (maybe I was expecting too much after seeing the plot of this series). The movie's plot is rather simple. Twists are predictable. But the fights and character interaction makes up those flaws.
Art: 7/10 some part of the art gets super bad, like those screenshots of Naruto va Pain where the character faces are all messed up and weird. But for the most part the art is pretty good, especially for the final battle. Man, it's great! T…
