It's a shame they still insisted on needlessly deviating from the first LN's plot when making the movie. If they hadn't done that, the attempt to re-release SnS as individual movies based on each LN might have made it a bit further.

Regardless, it's definitely a lot better than the anime was. You also realize why JC Staff changed things up because the ending revelation of the first volume was all they could think of for what to use at the end of the first season.

Overall a good review though, as mentioned later, it's more of an adaptation of the first light novel rather an attempt to retell the first arc in the anime.

Frankly, I was really looking forward to this movie considering how the anime torn this arc to shreds, so I was really disappointed to see Margery Daw shoe-horned into it. That's why the Lamies plot wasn't in the film - that was the plot of the second light novel.

In regards to the dub, I had to turn it to the original Japanese after 5 minutes. I don't understand FUNimation lately - they seem to be prioritising rushing lines in to fill the lip flaps over rewriting a sentence to make it sound natural, in both words and delivery.

Now if we could only have a retelling of the story's final arc, but altered and polished and rearranged such that it actually functions as a finale.

Nothing can fix the final season. It stands by itself.
