Imagine coming on here to write a negative review about a movie that is highly entertaining from beginning to end. It's the reason people enjoyed SAO to begin with. This movie is beautiful and in 2021, I must say its one of the best movies I've seen in a long time. Way more entertainingImagine coming on here to write a negative review about a movie that is highly entertaining from beginning to end. It's the reason people enjoyed SAO to begin with. This movie is beautiful and in 2021, I must say its one of the best movies I've seen in a long time. Way more entertaining than the first 3 episodes of Wandavision that I've watched recently. The effects are also beautiful and will be a great homage to those who enjoyed the show. If you aren't into technology than this isn't for you but that's where Japan is headed. Most people don't want to be chipped or have technology integrated into the real world as they do with the Augmas attached to their ears which is something I thought about heavily at the beginning of the movie. Wish I created something similar but that's what all these smart watches now a days are doing. Being able to view someone's stats for instance by passing them by or looking up potential future employees by being able to view their job history and resumes. If this hasn't been done well I just gave you the idea. Get rich off of it. As for the movie there is alot of action and Kirito gets stronger pretty quickly because he needs to in order to save the love of his life and everyone else. That's as much of a spoiler as you will get here. Who In the world comes here to complain about character development is just ridiculous considering memories are being forgotten and they dwell on the past many times but in a memorable way which will resonate with people who enjoyed the show. Enjoy the movie, be entertained and hope for more. Now I'm going to look up other SAO MOVIES which I enjoy with my son and his mother.… Expand

Good but the story is not too good to me because the plot makes me think about the previous films until my head hurts.

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. You know, its just dawned on me. Sword Art Online, a series targeted at the teen demographic staring a self-insert blank space as a protagonist that is constantly surrounded by members of the opposite sex, all of whom could be potential partners, that is hugely popular despite having about the same critical acclaim as a slightly unclean and unflushed public toilet from everybody that isn’t a huge fan, having a reputation for being watched by people who hate it just to take the piss to the point that the series now has more negative things said about it than the series itself is probably worth getting, receiving so much hate that at this point that most of it is probably unwarranted, but will inevitably continue so long as it remains popular. The point I’m getting at here is that Sword Art Online is Twilight for the anime community (something that I didn’t think of myself, but I’m borrowing from my brother considering it’s an excellent comparison). Also, there is a moment at the start of the film in which Kirito asks if him and his friends are playing too much video games. Don’t be fooled into thinking this is him showing any self-awareness or character development, because its not.
Anyway, with those little gripes out of my system, I’m going to write the review now. I wanted to like this. I honestly did. So many of the ideas here have to potential to go somewhere interesting, but then they just don’t. The AR and its gear is an interesting idea, creating something that could be a commentary into technology entering our everyday lives (a path we are already on looking something similar), and how this would affect the SAO survivors etc. Although it doesn’t explore any of this.
Making Kirito bad at the game because, realistically, somebody who would be good in VR would be unfit as **** and therefore bad in real life. This makes sense from a realistic, storytelling and tension-creating perspective. Potentially interesting? Yep. Utilized? Nope, lets just make him OP again after, like, a 2-minute montage.
Villains that are sympathetic and not just generic evil-dudes? Definitely! Explore them in an effective way at all? No can do! And don’t even get me started on how little the plot and mechanics of this universe don’t make sense – something I’d be a little more forgiving on if any of the potential that this had to be a good movie was lived up to. I think it’s this potential that really drags this down for me. What should have been my favourite SAO content instead almost ends up being my least favourite. I enjoyed SAO II more than the first one because I seen more effort put into the story and characters. I don’t enjoy this more because you would have to be trying to **** this up to ruin such a potentially good premise with lots of the elements of an interesting movie at least.… Expand
