One Piece Gold: O Filme

I really enjoyed the world premier that held in United Arab Emirates 7 days before Japan the movie was excellent in every way. i cant wait for the Blue Ray Release i know it will be in a while. the movie is based on Action and Comedy and Drama there are secret Characters you have to notice otherwise you will miss them. over all i enjoyed it 10/10 i thank Ego Space and Toei Entertainment and Oda Sensei for Choosing United Arab Emirates as the First Country to see the movie before Japan sees it. so Everyone enjoy the movie next week and people around the world do as well enjoy your world premier as tickets are running out fast.

Movies about one of the longest running and still unfinished anime we have out there. Not being very knowledgeable about either the comic series or the cartoon series I cannot say if this film is accurate in terms of coherence and continuity with the general plot and for this I will limit myself to judging the film for what it is. So in my opinion the film is very good and thanks to the many moments of action and thanks to the twists and turns it manages to maintain a very good level of attention from the viewer. Even if the film lasts more than two hours, they are not felt because the plot runs very smoothly and in an organic way.

One Piece: GOLD was so disappointing. It is a reminder of how the show has vastly outgrown its protagonists, and keeps trying to make them seem younger, while the fan base in the real world grows older.

From an adolescent perspective, one could argue that the last two movies were strong as far as storytelling goes. One Piece Gold however is a mailed in script. No longer One Piece able to merge the impossible paradox of realistic story-telling with the magic of Disney storytelling. The formula is just too obvious at this point, and is especially visible in this movie.

The first few scenes are quite entertaining and the animation is visibly more fluid and dynamic than we have yet seen, but Luffy and his pals are not all that much different than a group of kids getting a personal and pandering tour of Wonka's Chocolate factory.

In this case, the factory is Gran Tesoro; the worlds largest entertainment city, run by an unimaginative super villain who enslaves anyone that falls in debt to the city (mostly through obsessive gambling in the giant casino). But he also enslaves their families, and he is untouchable by the world government because he bribes them.

We've been here before, and unlike film Z where the villain was a substantial and interesting character, Guild Tesoro is nobody, and the inclusion of a backstory for him (which the movie introduces in the middle of a battle) doesn't make him any less cheesy.

The whole thing feels like watching a video game. It is a rushed and contrived series of action sequences, that uses its protagonists as little more than models for the latest in Munchkinland fashion. As usual, Luffy is a caricature in a world of characters, and once again we are asked to accept his naiveté as charm, and his boyish recklessness as pure determination. Because he hasn't grown in maturity however, that gets harder and harder to do. Yet the series always allows him to seem intelligent simply because he can recognize the difference between good and evil, and get to be the one to save the day.

The appearance of Rob Lucci, Sabo and Koala are quite refreshing. It is equally frustrating when considering that Sabo is way more qualified to be the protagonist of the series. As the #2 of the revolutionary army, he has a vital role to play in the universe. Luffy, just wants to party.

Film Gold's, sole strength is that it is visually spectacular, but it is the Batman and Robin of One Piece movies. Cartoony, lightweight, and annoying.

So it's been a while since I reviewed a One Piece movie, and a lot has changed. Watched the entirety of the show 5 times, I've read and am caught up on the manga, and I still love absolutely everything about the series.

My review for this movie is changing because the first time I watched this movie was with REALLY bad subs, but I can now confidently say this is the best One Piece movie to date. Dare I say it, even better than Stampede, cause at the least the first half of this one wasn't rushed.

The reason this film stands above all the others for me is because it told a much more interesting story than the others, with a villian who's so cool he ranks as my number 3 One Piece villian despite being non-canon. (1st is Katakuri, 2nd is Doflamingo).

Tesoro's ability is so unique yet simple and the way he uses it makes watching Luffy fight him all the more interesting.

I won't say anymore but I can't recommend this movie enough.

By far has One Piece Film Gold has appealed to my emotions. The storyline is well built and there are unexpected twists and turns. The animation and HD of the film surpasses all of the One Piece movies. The antagonist in the film are great with new devil fruit powers. I highly recommend people to watch this and view the other movies.
