Personal Ratings: 2
Since I saw the trailer, I really thought it would be awesome, and I could not wait for it to come out. I thought it would be more in my favorite character, Killua.
After watching the whole movie, I was really disappointed in it. In the trailer, it looked like the movie had a lot to do about the spider group, and totally nothing much about Kurapika. However when I watched it, it had almost nothing to do with the spider group, which was already very disappointing. To add on to the disappointment, the whole time, Killua was pretty much useless, and the fighting scenes were just terrible. I actually wanted to see more of Killua in action for this movie. I think that for this whole movie, there seem to be no objective and climax in it. The whole time, it was just like a series of event happening. I was expecting at least some awesome fighting scene at the back to make up for the front. But that did not occur.
One thing that I actually liked was the relevance of this movie to the anime. The anime had always been saying how Killua has a fear of this brother and his brother's rules. But than in this aspect, I think they overused it, in such a way that I don't think it is a line with the character that Killua truly has in the anime and manga.
