Look at UP, Toy Story and even Wreck it Ralph and you can see how the influence of anime and quality anime such as Fairy Tail has had in this area. What Japanese anime does well,and this movie is a good example of, is combine pathos and fatality with comedy to provide a roller coaster of emotions so that you can be crying and laughing within the same breath. Fairy Tail are guaranteed to bring havoc wherever they go but they have hearts so large you can't help but warm to them. Happy, Natsu's pet flying cat, always has me laughing with great offhand comments and didn't fail to deliver in the movie. Within the first 10 minutes you realise that these characters are larger than life and funny as hell. This is not my view, as in reality it was done to ensure this was not just another fanbase movie that only the fans would watch. An earlier criticism from 'a fan' was that this effort to introduce the characters and additional scenes could be viewed as filler in the movie. Even if you are not a fan you can pick up the storyline and quickly are given an insight into the rich tapestry of great characters. In this film you are introduced to the guild of Fairy Tail full of lovable eccentric mages. One was a review of the series rather than the film and the other was by an alleged fan who has ADHD or watched another movie altogether. Overall, this movie is not worth watching at all.įirst off I'd like to say that the 2 reviews I've read are very disappointing although the film is definitely NOT. She is also portrayed to a degree as useless, when I remember that she has keys to summon celestial spirits to aid her. The fact that this film centers around her and her relationship with Eclair, she doesn't add anything to the plot. Lucy does ABSOLUTELY nothing in this film, unless you count crying like a stupid baby for most of the film as something. You have cookie cutter one-dimensional villains shouting the most generic villain dialogue ever.and then you have Lucy. The characters: My biggest beef against this film ere the characters. The story in general: The story felt so formulaic and predictable that if you watch the series, you know how it will all end. So where do I start: The silent context-less prologue: The beginning of the movie has no dialogue, meaning you have to assume you know what's going on. It basically makes the series look worse by comparison. Back when I liked Fairy Tail, I stumbled across this movie.and oh my God, it was absolutely terrible.
