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.

The animation and such is amazing as always, but the first half or even more is the Shibuya arc summarized and the action if just few minutes.

Kinda felt ripped of for going to the cinema in Japan for this. Wate of time compared to just watch it at home in some months.

There is no point to go to the cinema for it. The fights look cool, the characters are nice and it alings perfectly with the known story. So i am looking forward to next season, but it seems like it will just ve the first episodes of the next season to be honest.

There was no point to watch this in movies as this is just the ending of Shibuya arc and beginning of the game arc. It's good Jujitsu Kaisen content but it's just a few anime episodes that are in between arcs and where much doesn't happen. It makes absolutely no sense to have a movie or a cinema release for this content. Really the greatest disappointment I've ever had in going to the cinemas. Even animation quality is nothing special. It's literally just 4 normal anime episodes stuck together and called a movie for some reason.

In this trend of anime series trying to cash in with a recap plus a couple of episodes of a new season, this time it's Jurassic Park's turn.

When you go to see these recaps in theaters, you wonder what kind of product you're going to find; after all, it's not a movie per se.

We've had bad ones like "Dan Da Dan" and "KNIGHT 6," but also some good ones like "Solo Leveling." I consider Jurassic Park to be somewhere in between.

We know that season 2, despite its problems with the animators and MAPPA, was amazing and established the "Shibuya Incident" arc as one of the most immense ever seen in anime. However, during this recap, I feel it doesn't do it justice. I also didn't notice the much-talked-about improvement in the fight between Sukuna and Mahoraga, but above all, it's very fast-paced, and while that doesn't bother me, it persists throughout the entire "movie."

The first two episodes of season 3 are very well animated, featuring some impressive fight sequences, but they also have quite a few flaws. Again, it feels rushed, with no time to explain things like what these blessed games they're about to enter are or why some characters survived the Shibuya incident. I feel like a lot of situations and concepts are taken for granted, which doesn't contribute to the dynamics or the evolution of the story.

I'm afraid that the entire season, which will have half the number of episodes of the previous two, will be like this: rushed and lacking explanations. If this happens, it would be a shame, since JJK has established itself as one of the most important shonen anime of the decade, and its quality has always been top-notch.

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.

The first 38 minutes of the movie is season 2 recap. I'm a JJK big fan and the movie horrible. There's literally no fight between Yuta and Yuji. All the scenes were just back and forth. The movie is just an introduction to season 3. Doesn't deserve to be in the cinema. Just a waste of time and money.

It was never a secret that the beginning of the movie would be a recap of the end of season two, so I don't really understand why people go in knowing this, then come out disappointed and use that as the movie's biggest flaw. I also think it's a cheap solution, but since the end of season two was basically botched visually, at least we got an updated version enhanced with a few extra scenes that we didn't get in the anime. The music also added an extra layer of atmosphere to the events.

My only negative opinion is that, even with all that, the movie was short (though extremely dense, almost packed to the brim). I liked it, it was worth seeing in the cinema, and it gave me plenty of motivation to look forward to the third season of the anime.

In this Jujutsu Kaisen movie, we get a recap of the key events from the latest season of the anime, along with an introduction to the first episodes of the upcoming season. It works as a way to refresh your memory, understand what happened immediately after the Shibuya incidents and get ready for what's coming next in Jujutsu Kaisen. If you're expecting a movie with a full, closed ending - which was the biggest complaint I heard during the screening - then don't go to the theater expecting that!

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.

Since this film is a compilation of Shibuya Incident and Season 3 early episode view, I will give two reviews.

Shibuya Incident: This arc on this compilation mainly focus on Satoru Gojo got sealed in prison realm following with some of the battle cuts and most of the characters death moment. So this isn't the biggest highlight as we already watch this back in 2023.

First two episodes on Culling Game arc: This is the main highlight. I love the improvement on animation this time as Naoya Zenin was introduced in early on. His actions was the main spotlight of the first two episode with his battle with Choso using different cut. Color grading for the first two episodes is a wonderful grading as different theme becomes spotlight for the specific timing such as tunnel battle when both Choso and Naoya unleash their cursed spirit. The emotional and laughing moments from these episodes also on the best moment. Definitely can't wait for the future episodes.

There is nothing necessarily wrong with the movie, except for the fact that the first half is the finale of season two And the rest of the movie is the first couple of episodes of the next season Animation and fight scenes and action scenes were great Music sound effects were also good But just the fact that they are reusing parts of the previous episodes of the show and filling the majority of the movie is just meh.

So as you can see from other people who have given a review that yes there is a recap of the shibuya arc, but who cares you literally get to watch the best parts over again on the big screen and the new episode is literally mind blowing. The animation was superb and even better then I had previously thought it would be. I watched in pure awe as I saw the end of volume 16 brought to life in front me.better then both demon slayer and the new chainsaw man. Jujutsu kaisen is both my favorite anime and manga so keep that in mind. If you have read vol 16 and 17 of the manga you get a taste of what's in store for you with "execution" and how the culling games arc is truly the best arc in the manga. If you love jujutsu kaisen it's a must watch, not just because the animation is amazing, but the story and the characters we have only seen on our Tv's up until now are on the big screen and getting to rewatch the best parts of the shibuya arc on that screen was worth the ticket price and more, okutsu's entrance alone gave me goosebumps better then I imagined when I first read the manga. No spoilers here.

Even though I found the first half that only contained of recap quite boring since I had just rewatched jjk for this movie, the second half really impressed me. I've already read the manga and I know that these are just the first 2 eps of the new season, but the animation, soundtrack and ,cliffhanger' (for those who didn't read the manga) were just insane. It was a enjoyable evening for me. This hyped me so damn much for season 3. But I can't lie 14 euros were expensive for so much recap. That part could've been done better, maybe max 20mins recap and then 3-4 eps of the new season.

I've never written a review before in this website, so do forgive me but:

I don't think I've ever seen anything as arrogant as this. They managed to squeeze around 35 mins of recaps into a movie shown in theaters.

What an absolutely disappointing realization, everyone just sat through the first half of the movie joking and taking pictures. There was nothing to watch, nothing worthwhile talking about.

I don't like this method of storytelling, I hope it dies with this movie and it doesn't become a trend. It just made the second half much less enjoyable.

What an incredible waste of time.

The movie covers the end of the Shibuya Arc and the first 2 episodes of the upcoming Culling Game Arc.

This mainly covers the Mohito fight (fitting 20 episodes into 40 minutes is no easy feat) it does however do a great job of showcasing the trauma Yuji faces at the end of Season 2.

The new material is superb with some of the best art style and voice acting seen in the series so far along with some exceptional action set pieces and the introduction of the new head of the zenin clan.

My only issue was when they explained the culling game rules it was too brief so I had to Chat GPT it after.

If you go into it knowing it will be a recap along with new material you won't be disappointed. It finished things off nicely ahead of January's S3 Release and I can't wait to see how they adapt the manga.

Feels a bit silly paying a full cinema ticket price for a movie that's half just recap of season 2.

The new content was great, but honestly, not worth making into an entire film. It could just have been made into 1 episode by cutting out the recap.

That being said, the new content was fantastic, and true to the usual JJK style.

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 &

This was the perfect anime movie and the animation is insane. Storyline is amazing as heck yuta my boy. Yuji artstyle was amazing and was looking quite Crazzy i think the animation style is kagenashi something. CHOSO VS NAOYA WAS INSANEEEEEEE!! NAOYA WAS AURA FARMING THE ENTIRE FIGHT AND GOJO SHOTS WERE AMAZING.

With all the teachers and experienced sorcerers out for the count, Yuji Itadori struggles to end the Shibuya incident. Unfortunately, the curse users accomplished their goal and triggered events that will change sorcerer and non-sorcerer societies.

After more than a year of waiting, this highly anticipated season three lead-up is a mixed bag. The majority of the story is a recap of season two, some filler, and then a sliver of a glimpse of what to expect. The best part of that silver is the culmination of storylines and the potential of season three. As in previous seasons, the actions and animation are fantastic. The one hour and twenty-seven minute runtime is long for anyone who has recently finished season two or remembers season two. At the same time, those who have not seen it or need a refresher might find it entertaining. Definitely worth a watch, but justifying the price of a movie ticket is tough.

30 min of recap Season 2, seriously ? Come one man, i am fan of JJK why you put in cinema ? I meant we can see it in series too, in Cinema you have to put some epic scene that you never seen in series, we dont need that recap or filler on CINEMA, put that shet away on series you have to be careful with that.

In my opinião this move was good because of The crazy animation and The figths in the movie and sound track was soooo fire and i like The charchters lore and i liked when they put 2 epsiodes from season 3 in the movie like they got an crazy marketing stragegy and in overall the movie was goated and the animation is fire.

The Jujutsu Kaisen movie honestly kinda let me down. I went in hyped, expecting a proper movie with a full new story and big moments, but it mostly felt like stuff I've already seen before, just stretched out.

I get that a little recap is normal to set things up, but here it felt like a huge chunk of the movie was just repeating or dragging things out. While I was watching I was literally thinking, "Why did I pay for this? This could've just been a special episode or something on a streaming site."

The part that actually feels new is like 40 minutes tops, and the rest is just build-up that doesn't really add much. So instead of feeling like a full-on movie, it comes off more like a long episode they tried to sell as a film. And when you've paid around 40 riyals for a ticket, that really stings.

Yeah, the animation is nice, the fights look good, and there are a few cool moments here and there. I'm not saying it's complete trash or anything. But when you walk out, you don't really feel like you got anything special out of it story-wise or character-wise. Nothing that makes you go, "Wow, I really needed to see that."

If a friend asked me, I'd say: if you're a hardcore Jujutsu Kaisen fan and just wanna watch anything related to it, sure, go ahead. But if you're expecting a real, full movie experience that's worth the ticket price? Nah, it's not worth it. This should've been released as a special episode instead of being pushed as a big standalone movie.
