This movie is nothing but a piece of garbage aside from the music.
Oda, You should feel embarrassed that you have wrote or allowed this movie to be produced.
Truly without any doubt this is by far the worst One Piece movie and one of the worst movies i have ever seen. I feel stupid to have had very high hopes for it to be a very interesting movie.
It is basically ruining everything that is good about one piece and there is no way it can be sugar coated.
I don't have any idea why was this movie made and what purpose does it serve other than pis*ing off the viewers.
if there is a rating less than 1 out of 10 I would gladly rate it waaaay lower.

The movie picks up after episodes 1029–1030, introducing Uta as the central character.
If you're thinking of watching the French dub... honestly, don't. I made that mistake and it really messed up the experience for me. The singing voice for Uta in the French version just doesn't work. The songs sound off, sometimes even out of tune, and the voice feels totally disconnected from the character. It was hard to enjoy the film with that in the background.
On the other hand, the voice actress for Uta's spoken lines is clearly a pro. Her performance is way better and actually pleasant to listen to. It really shows how singing and voice acting are two separate skills, and in this case, the difference is obvious. Probably why they didn’t use the same person for both.
Story-wise, it's not bad. And…

I think this is my favorite One Piece movie so far. It had a stronger narrative than some of the others and I really liked how they tied the past into the present (of the story in 2022 at least). I really liked how they created a reason to have so many fan favorites together. I also like how they explored how devil's fruits can be very dark when influenced by negative forces. That said, it still had a lot of the other movies' weaknesses. The narrative was a little convoluted in places but cleaner than other movies. There came a point in which it felt like maybe things were dragging a little here and there but it would immediately pick back up again. Overall, it was a fun time and seems rewatchable.
If you liked previous One Piece movies then you'll likely enjoy this one. If you're the ty…

I will be very clear about why I gave this film a low rating and why it is horrible: UTA IS A TERRIBLE CHARACTER!!
What's more, are they playing with us? Did they create so much hype around Shanks' appearance for the damn thing to appear in very few frames? Honestly, horrible, I found the story really boring too, Uta is a spoiled girl who can't get over her traumas and wants everyone to get involved in it. I swear, when they put that scene showing that Uta was part of Luffy's childhood, I wanted to leave the movie theater. I've seen One Piece movies that didn't really captivate me, but this one gave me a feeling that I hate: disgust.

Mostly Spoiler Free.
This movie was not made for me, since I do not have TikTok. A lot of the focus of this movie is on Music and dance choreography, and I just do not care. If you are like me and find those Dances a bit cringy, some sequences of this movie are hard to get through.
First, let's talk about the good things. The movie was mostly animated on a good to very good level. Little sakuga like we got with the finale of Wano and some CGI Models that stuck out a bit, but the finale was beautful and many art decisions, like the new character outfits, were really good. It is definetly a visually pleasing movie.
Sadly, the same cannot be said about the story. Overall, it is pretty simple: This Idol Uta uses music to cast Eternal Tsukuyomi.
This is an oversimplification, there is a re…

Summary: Honestly, I'm dissappointed. If it wasn't connected to One Piece, I'd give it a 7/10 as it was a good Movie in itself. Since it has basically no connections to the main series though, it's nothing but a somewhat long Spin-Off OVA or Filler Episode.
If you enjoy music stuff in Movies, you may enjoy this one, if not, save yourself the time and skip it - you are not missing out on anything important.
A few more Details:
As for the content... I guess Animations where solid and enjoyable - Some of the Music was decent too.
Storywise, it didnt add anything that we may need in the main story - classic side story. The MC for this also feels rather plain and forgettable except for the visual design - no deep thoughts or meaning behind anything. Any other character may as well be replaced…

So FIRST: This movie is a weird hybrid, more like a shounenish MUSICAL rather than a previously expected 100% shounen movie.
AND SECOND: I think the storyline of the movie and the attitude of Toei utterly do not contribute to this vivid world.
THIRD: Movie titled RED but Shanks is not a main character of the movie, he has a longer cameo, but that is ALL!
Prologue:
Before I start the real review, I have to say something about One Piece, and about my connection to One Piece. For my One Piece the anime for a long time, even though I do not tend to like mainstream shounen, somewhy me, as an adult close to 30 this whole complex world simply enraptured Arc by Arc. I had hard times with One Piece when I started more than 10 years ago, and probably not the best show ever, and not the show that…

Okay, listen up! For all those who are bored to read a long review just know this: "I found a lot of subjective flaws in this movie and I don't recommend it. Heck, as a fan of the franchise for more than 20 years I even found it insulting."
For all the others fellow OP fans, keep reading...
Firstly let us look at the summary of this movie.
Cruela de Vil's daughter, dyes the black part of her hair red (because of her daddy issues with Shanks), becomes a famous singer a la Katy Perry, gets high on cute addictive mushrooms on stage and creates her own colorful Matrix so she can sing endlessly to her zombie fans and consequently wipe out piracy. Her sasaeng fans (this time in the form of the Straw Hats) were not very happy with that as they have other idols' concerts to attend to, thus decid…

TLDR: Like arcane or the recent tekken animation - fanservice artwork, animation and choreography, stunning soundtracks, mid to bad story telling (feel free to fight me on this comparison lmao)
I don't want to say much, but it's not worth watching really :/
I didn't want to know anything before the film, so I went in not knowing that is was a musical. That being said, the moment the first song played, I accepted it and tried to watch the film in a normal way but I couldn't. The story was all over the place. It was not compelling, barely related to shanks. It was an action fanservicy, orgasmic music mess.
Art/Animation - 9/10 (for the most part it was beautiful looking and animated)
Sound - 10/10 (sounded more like a concert, oh boy the music was loud!...I will be downloading the OSTs)…

I do not understand how this movie has such a high score. Is it from all the One Piece fans that have yet to see it and just assume it is going to be great, so they give it a 10? Don't get me wrong, I'm a huge One Piece fan, but this movie is the worst One Piece film out of the bunch, taking into account when they were each released.
You can feel the force of the movie, from the beginning, trying to rush you through. It felt so choppy and there were instances, that I will not spoil, that simply did not make sense for what was going on at the moment. There wasn't a single remarkable fight scene. The animation was subpar in comparison to past OP films. Honestly, it was a cluster f* that only had decent music, which in itself didn't mesh 100% of the time. Like, how are you gonna have a flashb…

The first 80% of the movie is really bad imo. Very childish and many "musical"-like scenes, overall very cringe and not enjoyable for me. (My friends got dub ticket's on accident which made it even worse lol)
Many plot essentials like Uta's motives aren't really made clear. Shanks action isn't enough, imo calling the Film "Red" is just a marketing scheme.
Then once the final battle starts I find that the music fits much better and you get the usual one piece hyped feeling. And if you don't want to be spoilered in the movie, you should either have read the manga or wait till the final battle in Wano is over.
I am not sure about the target audience of this movie, for some kids the age under 14 who have watched all of one piece the movie will probably be way more enjoyable then it was for me…

People who said this film is bad or mediocre are watching the film with their eyes closed. This film is at least an 8/10.
The funniest complaint I've seen thrown at this film is that it's a glorified "Disney Musical" anime. Since when that is a bad thing? Everybody loves the Disney classics. Why do you think the term "Disney Magic" exist? Yea, the films capture that "Disney Magic" better than current Disney who kept pumping out soulless cash-grab live action remakes. They're doing a better job at being the classic Disney than the current Disney. This films feels like Fantasia but with actions. And Fantasia is amazing. I encouraged viewers to watch this film with an open mind and not immediately hating on a Shounen film for trying something new and uncommon for them. This film actually fee…

I would rather to watch a concert than to watch this. Not worth the time and money. The Visual Effect and CGI is indeed great, but the song is just too much. The writers just magically cramped the movie so it fits 5-6 songs (literally a single album) in one movie.
And then, in the end, they put 2 more "sad theme" song to baited audience's emotional after crappy one hour. Yeah, it's right, they ended literally song movie (I prefer to called it like that rather musical movie), with more SONGS with DIFFERENT EMOTION. So, literally minutes ago we got energetic happy song, and then next we got furious rage song, and lastly we got "forced" sad song. My ear and brain is so confused, that I can't even laugh at 'marvel-like' jokes/comedy scene in-between songs.
It is also my fault, I didn't expe…

See? This is the evidence of why Divas/Idols element would never work inside this medium. Please, please! stop creating a character with their sole characterization is only "Good At Singing". A character development contained solely on a progress of: "from a good singer, to a great singer, to a world famous singer solving a world wide problem with a song" it's so fricking lame! cringe! and lazy!
It's doesn't work on Black Clover with their mermaid diva. It doesn't work on Belle. The most boring part of Vivy and Kongmin is the singing part. And the only things that make Zombieland Saga became atleast a bearable idol anime, is because it's a fricking parody!
Can you guess why? why is this formula became one of my most hated tropes in all anime? Because idols or divas in real life, are rela…

This was definitely the most “meh” One Piece movie in a while.
As much as it hurts me to say, I refrained from reviewing the movie for as long as I've been trying to justify exciting it more than it deserved, because, well, it's One Piece. Much like most One Piece fans, I was hyped to the max for this movie, as most of us call it, “Shanks's move”. It was something it felt like 2 decades coming, but never too late, we finally get to know more about this fan-favorite character, until we didn't... Well, kinda.
No spoilers in check, the info we deluded ourselves we were gonna get was nowhere in sight, II don't get why they decided to include it in the booklet given for free for people who watched the movie in Japan, the movie had a lot of screentime to cram the info in, heck, the Manga could…

Film Red is the second most idiosyncratic One Piece movie, thanks to its overt reliance on musical performances and the spotlight focused on Uta, a new female character. It also has the benefit of bringing out Shanks, who is one of the most important yet mysterious characters in the original work, as an active participant. While this is not a canonical story, I have found a lot to enjoy this time around and wish to share my thoughts and feelings with some open-minded readers.
Of course, it is hard to ignore the commercial success of the movie's theatrical release, which proves Film Red has resonated with many thousands of people across Japan. However, I will warn those who are expecting more of the same that they may not always find it here. Thus I can at least respect, even in the midst…

Might be a bit of spoilers in this review, fair warning:
One Piece has become such a staple to current day fans to where once people heard a movie was coming, everyone was ecstatic. This was also a movie I have been longing for as a Shanks fan, but I will try to be thorough and keep the information involving this review concise.
Story: The story was fairly simple but I would have preferred if the movie did not promo Shanks as the headliner rather than Uta since it mostly surrounds her entire story. She is portrayed as Luffy's brother and the daughter of Shanks, which she is then left alone due to a certain incident, thus trying to protect her for the justification. The story also feels very different in regards to how One Piece typically does their story especially for movies. This movie…

First off, I would like to acknoledge the fact this is a non-canon movie althought we will get back to this. It's non canonness doesn't change the fact that, althought being a movie that doesn't inscribe in any timeline, it's still pretty incoherent. The movie is a huge purge to watch and I have seen a lot of people online stating that this is an incredible movie, they should use those words more carefully. This movie has a lot of objective flaws that are not my opinion that are simply made here to attract the fans.
At out the way, I would like to talk about the good part of this movie. Some of the songs are great. UTA's singer does a pretty good job. She sings pretty well and some of the songs are a BOP. BUT, most of the songs are those kind of "disney princess" song where the caracter j…

Enjoyable, Emotional, Engaging and the type of movie where you can't help but smile while watching.
It is narratively quite unique in comparison to other one piece films but it showcased the ability to highlight the character of Uta and the magical world of film red to a perfect level while also being able to combine many elements of what we love about one piece such as the same enjoyable cast as usual, occasional nice comedic bits, great fight scenes, scenes that are hype , scenes that are emotional and a nice setting and moments which make you grateful to be a fan of the series.
A pretty significant direction style that can be noticed is the large amount of music present in the movie and how "music-based" it is. In many cases, it can be a fair point that an incredibly large amount o…

I never thougt I do a review on it. But here I am.
I was a privileged one to saw a preview on august 6 (for once, us europeans, we have the chance to have something before the "worldwide"). It was really great to saw it on a big screen, yes, visually it was fantastic.
The all thing was like to be on a rock show, really, the sound design/the music/voice acting, it was rad. Keep in mind that the movie is bascially a musical comedy, so you have a bunch of song, but it fits with the story.
The protagonist you're gonna follow (outside of luffy and the mugiwara obviously) is Uta, à girl who only wants to make the world a better place by her songs without war (pirates, marines and other shenanigans). So the only character who's gonna sing, is the singer herself. Don't worry, you're not gonna h…
