Steven Universe: The Movie

The Steven Universe film was really great. I hate musicals or music films, but when I saw this film for the first time I was in love.

An absolutely beautiful soundtrack with songs that keep getting stuck in my head

It's everything you know about Steven Universe and it's plethora of creative characters and ingenious writing, but stretched to an hour and thirty minutes. Songs that go through various genres, animation that is as smooth as butter and very pleasing to the eyes, important and universal messages & to top it all off the immersive and powerful voice acting. The top moments are the emotional songs and the relatable villain. If you're a fan of the series, story-driven cartoons or anime you will highly enjoy this movie!

This is something special. It has heart, and great characters, and all of the best aspects of the show. This is special.

Uhhh.... so this movie, is, uhhh. It's good. not bad in anyway, it's got that classical Steven Universe charm, and its wonderfully animated, but theres just something about it.

First of all, too much singing. I like musicals, i like Steven Universe, and i mostly like the songs in Steven Universe. But sometimes, there's just too much of a good thing. There was a point in the movie, where less than ten seconds after a song ended, A NEW ONE BEGAN! then after that, 20 seconds, and A THIRD SONG!

Spinel is a great villain, but her arch is all over the place, it packed plenty of emotion, and Rebecca Sugars strong writing shines through, but her character simply lacks coherence.

Third. it is very obvious that this movie was written by like 17 people. count the credits, 8 people made the story, then 13 wrote and storyboarded it, which makes the movie less consitent, both in tone and quality.

Overall a fun and satisfying movie, but it is flawed in many ways.
