This may not grab random viewers and turn them in to followers, but it's certainly a good bit of fan service that's quick, simple, and often charming. Go to Full Review

7/10
The film is really too fast-paced for newcomers to follow, but has lots of humor, particularly in its jabs at STAR WARS. Go to Full Review

Maegan S 08/26/2022 The Yokai-Watch franchise needs more respect because I think it's better than Pokémon. See more 10/01/2021 It's okay for only children to watch, but the 2nd movie and the 3rd live-action flick about the anime sucked so hard, they ruined my brain. See more 12/17/2018 the definition of cancer. See more 12/20/2016 The Story was Ok, but the Humor was a bit cringe-worthy. The Characters were a bit of a mix, since Nate and the Wicked Leader weren't interesting enough other than Nate's Grandfather created the Yo Kai Watch and The Wicked Leader was an innocent person..who went to jail.. and wants to get revenge on the world..WHAT?! Whisper and Jibanyan were just there to make some bad jokes, but Hovernyan and Nathaniel were amazing. and at least Nate's other Yo-Kai's did something. 3 and a half Yo Kai Medals out of 5. See more 11/15/2016 I thought it was going to be a bad movie even though I watch the show, but I thought it was amazing! See more Read all reviews
