Sounds like your average MAH film, which isn't too surprising.

This is a super weird movie.
It's a no-consequences midpoint movie that happens in a plot point the anime already passed and airs right after the manga ends. I don't think I have seen something so bizarre as this situation. The only logical conclusion I can make is that this was supposed to air at the end of season 6 and before 7 and something happened that delayed it. |

These movies feel like opportunities to play with comic cliches that the main series didn’t. In this case the evil version of a character, the Cyborg Superman, Bizarro, etc. I do kind of wish they did play with the ideas a bit more though. For instance, weakness of World Heroes Mission was that it had a setup similar to Superman/Batman: Public Enemies but didn’t fully commit the way that film did, although one could argue the difference was Deku was being accused by some random group and Superman was being set up by Lex Luthor, who at the time was the President.

Imagine if they spent half the effort on the show as they do on these movies...

Wait, this doesn't sound like the "ordinary society, just with superheroes' I recall from the beginning of the series. Is this movie an AU, or does something happen in the later seasons to destroy Japan's government and throw the country into Mad Max anarchy? |

Isn't that just Overhaul's power set?

I think these days most anime movies based on popular manga seems to try to be more ambitious than the series they're based on, but the MHA movies kind of feel like those Bleach and Naruto non-serial movies, at least some of the old non-serial movies for series like Dragon Ball or One Piece had some memorable scenes, characters, concepts and great animation
The only thing that is drawing my interest about this movie is the fact that for the Neutral Spanish dub they changed the recording studio, the main characters are still primarily voiced by the VAs who work in the series and the third movie in Miami, but some of the Mexican VAs from the first two movies, which were the first MHA projects dubbed into Spanish, are present but voicing different characters and a few of them actually reprised their roles. The villain Dark Might is voiced by Octavio Rojas, All-Might's VA in the first two movies and Tusyu is voiced by Jennifer Medel who voiced her in the first two movies instead of María José Estéves who voices her in the anime, though the latter still voices Momo. It seems like the Spanish dub was made in a way to please those people who preferred the first two movies' dub, but the thing is that the series' dub is still quite disliked by the majority of the audience, so it's like they know we would prefer if they just redub the series, but they can't due to alleged inistence of Toho. |

So far, it's doing better than Saturday Night, but in a close race with Piece by Piece. https://deadline.com/2024/10/box-office-terrifier-3-joker-folie-a-deux-the-apprentice-1236113611/

I think it was bad but I also think that Two Heroes and World Heroes Mission are bad, the only memorable one being Heroes Rising.
I would give it a 5/10 because Bakugo/Todoroki battles were extremely visually impressive but the last Deku battle went too far into silly territory to me. |

I quite enjoyed it, I just saw it today...yet I think I saw too many statue crouch shots though.

For real- I thought I was the only one who noticed the interesting way some shots were angeled toward statue crotches. Overall- I liked it and I'd put it as the 3rd best out of the current 4 MHA movies when it comes to providing a good time. There's a lot if things I wish could've been better, but as a hardcore MHA lover, it still made me smile. Heroes Rising is still the best (and the only one I wish to re-experience in theatre), but You're Next had a lot of those usual moments that make MHA so fun for me. I do think the movie-only characters are one of its major weaknesses and what really keeps it from being more than a standard B grade. Not enough of that necessary "quiet time" was spent with the characters, so they didn't bond with Deku in a way that feels endearing. Getting those quiet/down-to-earth interactions with Deku wad one of the things that made Melissa, Mahoro/Katsuma, and Rody even a little engaging (and popular in Rody's case.) I get that with the way things are at this point in the story, it would not be realistic to have time to just be normal people. But moments like one of the characters revealing his back story and motivation would've been better if it was framed more intimately (like when Rody told Deku his backstory) and limited to Deku and maybe a few Class 1-A students. Instead, the actual scene made my chuckle because of what was happening and who was present. Just...Kind of awkward guys. Anyway, TL;DR- if you love MHA and just want to see your faves in flashy Shounen fights, it's a good time. But it may not satisfy you if your favorite thing about MHA is its emotional writing and handling of themes. |

Movie 1: Die Hard
Movie 2: Zulu Movie 3: The Fugitive Movie 4: video game They should have picked another popular action movie to steal the plot. Then they could have strung something more substantial together. But at least the action scenes were decent, even if there was no emotion behind any of them. |

Just got back from seeing it in theaters with my wife. She loved it but I'd give it a solid C. Left a few things to be desired but it wasn't a bad film.
