Gekijouban Fate/Stay Night: Heaven's Feel - III. Spring Song

Honestly, I feel that the critiques in some of these reviews are legitimately unjustified. Let me preface by saying that from a technical aspect, this movie is head and shoulders above the first two movies. There generally are no hard cuts for scenes, the storyboard for the film is much more straightforward and it naturally answers most questions(with the exception of the ending).

With that out of the way, I will say that this film cannot and should not be judged as just a single piece of work but as a culmination for ALL of Ufotable's Fate works. What this story tries to show and allude to can only ever be appreciated if looked as a sequel because that is the clear intention. If someone can't necessarily remember plot elements tied to previous works like Unlimited Blade Works or Fate/Zero, I don't think the fault is placed on this movie. It expects its viewers to know the story it tries to tell. It wants to treat them competently and read into subtext. As for people that simply want a highlight action reel, this movie also gives them what they want in spades. This is a sequel to end it all and it'll give a large spectrum of fans at least a few things to love. A masterpiece in my eyes.

Animation is on god level good job unfotable studio!!!

Bite me again and again there's just no end to how good this anime is, unbelievable that an adaptation could be this awesome am just so into this like crazy every scene is at max out level of animation if you know what i mean, anime is everything %100.

I am a big fan of the series. Let me just say, if you do not know what this series is about, there is no way you will understand what this movie is talking about.

That said, this last installment was not consistent with previous two. I think what has happened is that they started off very well, how ever half way through making the third movie they realised "oh shit, at this rate we will never finish the story with only three movies..."then they cut out all the little details which would really flesh the story out a lot more.

This is the over all feel I had when I walked out of the theatre, I could really appreciate what they were trying to do and the embedded message of it. However it had too many compromises and the whole thing feels wrinkled and uneven. Hopefully there would be a director's cut version of it.

As a fan, was it a master piece that I wanted? No, not by a long shot. But, was it grand and enjoyable? Hell yeah.

What a satisfying conclusion to the HF series. Even though they left out a few things from VN, the fights were some of the best represented to date. This movie was a perfect reward coming from a VN fan.
