Leave your thoughts about One Piece Film: Z.
| User ReviewPio William LIt gives you pretty much everything you ask for this movie. It give a little cry, laugh, sadness. Best One Piece movie. |
| User ReviewLiam Gin terms of how they just chucked together all the other movies the structure here is fantastic. A really well made an enjoyable film. They even had the decency to save the Avril music till the end credits |
| User ReviewMing Siu GI think the best one piece movie so far. An interesting canon new world story along with lots of fighting and one piece gags. |
| User ReviewWailun LBest of the One Piece movie series so far, and possibly the single most inspiring anime this year, One Piece Z portrays the collision between the ending of a legend and the beginning of another. This movie, with OP's usual medley of devil fruits, legendary figures and riveting plots, is certainly a grand feast for OP fans anticipating another melodramatic war. However, what this particular movie distinguishes itself among the hodgepodge of anime is really its exploration of deep human feelings. Too often do people impulsively deem anime as nothing more than fantasy or delusion. In their subconscious, there exists a notion that anime is for the weak-minded, those who resort to unreal stories to satisfy real emotion need. Indeed, this notion perhaps stands true in most cases in that anime never seems to teach us much beyond the screen; it merely gives us a primordial desire to join that world full of "coincidences" and "magic". In the past OP series, all we anticipate is for Luffy to defeat his enemies, whatever their wicked causes are. We watch the movies as pure consumers, eager to be excited and exploited. However, never do we truly view OP as a odyssey of a man's struggle for dream or a pursuit for freedom. Anime is and always will remain anime as long as we think it is anime. However, One Piece Z challenges this relation and drags us one layer deeper. Through soliloquy and dialogue, we're forced to reconsider the definition of justice and evil in a new light. How much justice is still justice? How little evil becomes evil? For Z, his past was embroiled in the fight against evil, whereas his present, even after so much trauma, is still about eradicating pirates. Perhaps people's dream never dies. As time proceeds, it just manifests itself in a different manner. Like William Faulkner wrote, "the past is never dead. In fact, it's not even past" : what we're doing now is entirely based upon what we've done so far. In addition, Z's experience to some extent might be drawn from that of Dent in the Dark Knight, who also suffers from the same conversion from what we consider general good to unarguable bad. However, as we zoom out of the details, we gradually grasp the essence of One Piece: who cares if one piece actually exists, it's the tangle behind it that makes One Piece OP. |
| User ReviewYvan CJe ne connais pas bien l'univers de ce manga shonen énorme mais je dois dire que c'est passionnant et surtout, les personnages sont tout autant délirants et attachants. Même le "méchant" se trouve être travaillé. Le tout rondemment mené et bien réalisé. Que demandé de plus pour passé un bon moment :D |
| User ReviewJeffrey BZ makes an interesting non-canon antagonist in this movie because he is partly connected to the main story of One Piece alongside Shiki the Golden Lion of the previous film: "One Piece Film: Strong World". |
| User ReviewBrevin SOne Piece film Z is quite a treasure of amazingness. It was like we found the One Piece treasure right here, and it was this amazing film. I mean seriously while I wish it didn't have soo much action, and that the final fight between Z and Luffy had more to it the film still won with its overall heart and still outclassed One Piece: Strong World in every regard. I fell in love with the great admiral Z and his back story. The whole thing was quite interesting in my opinion. I did love the whole thing and found the film to be wonderful and magical in every which was possible and I wish I could have seen more of it, but sadly the film was short and finished quite quickly, and I can't help, but wish it was longer in more ways than one. I think it is a beautiful looking film to look and had a lot of good for what it was. And I love the DVd's special features that come with it. So give One Piece film Z a chance |
| User ReviewKwame OI like that just not as much as strong world and I actually like film gold more |
| User ReviewBlaze TFilled to the brim with One Piece greatness, Z may be only for the fans, but is the real One Piece film that all fans have seen waiting for. |
| User ReviewMichael BThis was a great movie. Not quite as impressive as Strong World, but still a fine addition to Oda's masterpiece. |
