Gekijô-ban Jujutsu Kaisen Shibuya Jihen Tokubetsu Henshû-ban × Shimetsu Kaiyû Senkô Jôei

Lots of people hate on this movie, is it all justified or is there some unfair judgment. First problem is that a good part of the film is only scenes from second season. I understand it's good to put a few reminders of previous events, but making it good half of the movie is really too much. Another issue this film is facing is too many fighting scenes. This is an action anime, but its good to show some bonding time between characters. If they took a break and made characters interact more it would make this piece a lot better. Lots of people say animation is lazy which I can't agree with. Animation is not as good as usual, that Il admit, but it's still very good. To summarise my opinion jjk can do a lot better. We saw their amazing stories, characterisation, music and animation. That's why this is a disappointment. They can do a lot better. If it was a usually worser anime I would be pleased.

If you've only watched Jujutsu Kaisen up to the Hidden Inventory/Premature Death arc, then I would highly recommend watching the whole Shibuya Incident arc before thinking about seeing Execution, as the 40 minutes dedicated to Shibuya don't do it justice at all. You get the key highlights and the need to know info, plus Sukuna's fight is the improved Blu-ray version and not what aired on TV, but a lot of the context is lost, and it will confuse new viewers.

Despite Season 3 being known as the Culling Game Arc, we don't see any of it - the first two episodes cover the Itadori's Extermination Arc and the start of the Perfect Preparation Arc. The fight scenes in these episodes are really good, and there's just enough to tease you with for the rest of the season.

Of course it's not going to live up to Infinity Castle or Reze, as it's just a compilation rather than an actual movie, but after over two years away, it's good to have JJK back. Roll on January 2026!

The two new episodes left me speechless. They are perfect, they outdid everyone in the industry, the level of detailes, action pace, fluidity, camera work, expressions, music, impact - it's on another level. Some may even claim they were better than Chaninsaw man! Movie in som parts, and certainly better than the qhole second season combined!

However the first half of the movie you sit through the recap part of 3 fights. When only the one with Juji and Mahito is done decently ok, but the rest is squeezed so tightly, in small increments, that you only get «aha, i remember it» moment, but nothing more.

40 min recap 30 min catchup 10 min action 10 min credits.

This movie was the biggest middlefinger to anime community who pay dearly for an big screen anime movie, most people in the audience couldnt believe the movie had ended because it felt so wrong.

We had seen this before with reincarnated as a slime &

Don't bother watching it in the cinema. A complete waste of money and time. Nearly half the runtime is recycled summaries from the previous season, new content was very good the fights look cool, the characters are nice and it aligns perfectly with the known story, but short lived, shouldn't have been a full movie, not enough content.
