Cool songs and a few amazing fight scenes, but unfortunately a letdown on some parts. I love One Piece so much but I'm not gonna lie, I almost fell asleep in the middle of the movie simply because too many effects were used in the battle scene and it got pretty repetitive that I lost all focus and got too bored. It's also a big shame that recent One Piece movies had become a series of cameo fest instead of a good adventure movie with just the straw hats. I know it's interesting to see old characters coming back, but too many of them randomly showing up makes it look like they were there just for show. I believe One Piece movies are mostly non-canon, but I think a sense of believability is still needed to make them enjoyable and this movie simply offered no canon continuity or believable value (in the perspective of a long-running series with its own universe). Although, as a spectacle, this movie was enjoyable and a fun watch in general, filled with classic One Piece humour, and it surely is always nice to see the straw hats together!

I don't wanna admit but yes One Piece Red was not the best part in One Piece movies. The story was not solid, and even though I knew it was about Uta and Shanks and music, there was too much songs filled in the movie.

Yeah, I liked the last 15-20 mins with all the action, and also watching couple of my likeable characters (Katakuri) coming back to screen. Apart from that, the first half was not much interesting. Can say, that One Piece Red is a one time watch, although they have done good job with the animation and OST.

Story : 5/10 Animation : 7/10 Characters : 6/10

My Final Rating : 6/10.

The connection between Shanks, Uta and Luffy is great along with uta's past, but unfortunantely, that's the only good part of the story. Most probably, that's the only canon part.

Everything else is pure non-sense, especillay Tot Musica, no explanation about what it is, why it exists, its goal?

Ado's songs were really good, they carried the whole movie.

Spoilers below: Stampede had even more characters than this, but still each character got their moment there. In Red, characters are doing random things, playing no role in the story.

Somehow Usopp awakens advanced observation haki, and somehow it's linked to Yasopp.

Coby takes command at an unexpected time and everyone follows it?

Luffy using Gear 5 for no reason at all.

Why were 5 elders, navy, cipher pol involved and did nothing?

This is a pure mix of canon story, non canon story, random characters, random events, and the final story is terrible. It fails short at things where One Piece excells at. Unexpected.
