Somehow, this movie makes sense when all is said and done, despite all the chaos unleashed in the first half hour.

It's basically one long battle...If you haven't been following [Black Clover] you will probably be lost, but for anime fans, this pulls out all the stops.

Ready Steady Cut

The film does feel generic at times, but it’s the animation that stands out above the rest. It is good if you are a fan of the television series and the manga.

Rated: 3/5

Black Clover exists to deliver hyperbole with relentless ratatat, and fans of it wouldn’t have it any other way.

One of the greatest films to ever be made, it was like an entire season of the show in one. It was action all the way through which was perfect.

Maybe, I'm just not the audience for this genre. It's so jarring.

Tilly

It's a basic OVA-style slug-fest. It squeezes everybody in at some point with an opportunity to use their signature spells. The movie rushes through its pacing to the point where there's no tension, which means there's then no pay-off. And there's no time to build any pathos either. The villains are staged to be sympathetic villains whose cause has been corrupted (very on-brand for the series) but you don't get time to see that. The writing advice "show don't tell" comes to mind. Ultimately, they tried to put a 12hr season worth of story into a 2hr movie. As a fan Black Clover, it's ok, but unsatisfying. If you're not familiar with the series, there's nothing worth watching here.

Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars
