Quick question for you all
Did you like the movie? Why/why not?
Iβm seeing more and more positive ractions and to be honest I donβt understand them at all.Β
Imo the story was...ok, but the movie itself was extremely mediocre. I liked it, but uh, not really.
Iβm no movie critic, so my opinion might seem just stupid to some people, but I feel like I need to explain my point of view.Β
Iβm having this issue with everything that comes after 1st season of Osomatsu-san - it was SO GOOD, it got so much attention, that later when OVA and 2nd season came out, I couldnβt stop thinking about how badΒ they are compared to 1st season. Same goes with the movie. I know a movie and an entire series of episodes are completely different things and itβs not so simple to just compare them without a deeper explanation. But the movie was so plain that it couldβve been just an episode. Not to mention that I felt like the humour just lacked something in general, just like in 2nd season.Β
Personally I find 2nd season offensively boring, there were some good episodes, but the humour was sometimes just too much, the perverted jokes were too childish, like itβs...not what I was waiting for. I was really into ososan for the entire time, until 2nd season came out, really. A few months prior it came out, my love for the show kind of died, but I was still waiting and hoping my love for the show would come back with the first episode. Not only it didnβt, but after watching a few episodes I just stopped caring at all, I was just disappointed. I feel like the producers went with risky humour in 1st season that really worked, but later they just went full on WE ARE VIRGINS HAHAHA PENIS HAHAHA FUNNY FACES LOL LOUD NOISES ARE VERY FUNNY because it worked the first time. Idk, maybe Iβm biased, I honestly donβt know anymore.
When it comes to the movie, I feel like they did the exact opposite, which is still better than 2nd season. They tuned down the jokes, but the story was meh. Sure, it was entertaining, especially for me, a person who was deeply involved with the story and characters, a person who enjoys seeing interactions between them and all the little things. But...there was not much of those to begin with, and when I think about the story and everything that they did or didnβt include in the movie, it feels like a bad movie overall.
There was so many things that I was looking forward to, but most of all YOUNG MATSUS! Since we saw the first trailers and concepts from the movie, we were all hyped! Then I watched the movie, saw young matsus and after all I feel like the story wasnβt even about them? But hey, thatβs not a bad thing, right? But then, the story was about...a random girl that matsus didnβt interact with? Except this one time in their memory, which wasnβt even real? I donβt even remember if they exchanged any words at school, all I know is that she was in the background of the photos that we saw among with the end credits. We know nothing about her except why or how she said goodbye. For me she seems to be a (very cute) side character, thatβs all. So since sheβs not the main character, who is? Matsus? Then why did we see so little of their past?
We saw Oso. Great, he was the same. ...thatβs all? We saw Choro, he was a cute perverted nerd. What about his friends? Did he have any? Ichi? We saw a lot of him, thatβs good! Iβm satified with his side of the story tbh! I just wish we saw him more not around his friends. Todo was...cute and sociable I guess? Totoko was cute. Her part was okay-ish, itβs not like sheβs well developed in the show anyway. Karaβs and Jyushiβs parts of the story got me annoyed the most. Jyushi was pretending to be a...bad boy i guess. WHY? What about his friends? What about his...I dont know...Anything? And Kara. Ohhh my sweet boy Karamatsu. He was a quiet shy boy. Thatβs all. Iβm so glad I got to know his young self, Iβm glad they wasted so much screen time to just show me that he was shy. We all knew about that the moment they showed us the concept arts.
What got me angry was the use of young Karamatsuβs personality. Like they developed his young self only for the sake of the movie plot, which would just use the fact that he was shy/scared to talk to people. Before we knew what was going on, it looked like a very good story imo. Karaβs hiding something and having regrets? We all knew it wasnβt about some fandom-requested depressed Kara or anything like this(I would really enjoy that lmao, but it would be pretty dumb), but I was hoping it would have something to do with their personalities, with their past, which would explore their characters even more. Nope, he got a letter from a girl that no one remembered!Β Β
God, itβs not a bad story in general when you think about it. The ending was expected, but it wasnβt bad. But I feel like it lacked so much that there was no real plot. Like they made a movie, because they wanted to make a movie, and THEN started thinking about a plot. Like I feel there was just no point in making this movie.Β
Not to sound like a total asshole, there were some little things that I really, really enjoyed. For example how they acted around each other in high school. The Todo/Choro interactions were amazing, young socializing Ichi was amazing! I also LOVED how they all mistook Karaβs memories with Osoβs - it showed how similar and equally stupid they actually are. Also, the part where Kara was constantly annoyed by Osoβs immatureness? I LOVED that! Go mature Kara and show him whoβs in charge. Hey, the part where they all talked to their young selves? Cliche, but adorable! Seeing them interact with past selves also showed us that actually they are grown-ups and arenβt all that immature! Cool! Iβm happy I got to see all of these things and also others that I donβt remember at this moment.
In conclusion. I enjoyed the movie, but it left me really dissatisfied.
Sorry I kind of turned this into an angry rant. And sorry for my English. It was hard to turn my feelings into words as a non-native speaker, but Iβm learning and I saw that as an opportunity to test my writing skills.Β
Iβm pretty sure thereβs a lot of misunderstandings from my side, a lot of conflicts, contradictions, and me missing some stuff, but I wanted to voice my opinion on this as I really have only one person that I can talk about it to. (love u)
tl;dr me likey movie but it bad an i want more
