SparkMore n my opinion it was a great movie with some interesting elements, even though having some plot holes and the ending probably was just too messy and crammed together, but still fun to watch and not your casual movie that is similar to all other ones.
Humaira Grant It’s not bad or unwatchable but despite the amplitude of the spectacle, the end result is underwhelming.
Cody One of the best movies of the year! Incredible from the beginning to the end.
Cassandra Story: It's very simple but honestly that is fine.
ssjearnest In this movie you see Ippo in his first title defense after he defeats Sendo at the end of the series. It shows Ippo and how well he has developed over months after the fierce fight with Sendo. He learns that his opponent is the former junior featherweight champion who is very strong and his name is Sanada Kazuki and since he is in doctor he knows where to hit a person to inflict max damage without having to have a lot of power. There is another twist to this great film. Sanada corner man is Ippo's trainer Kamagowa old opponent. This movie is a must see for all Hajime no Ippo fans. Lots of bone crushing blows and of course humor, an enjoyable film for all fans. I recommend this film for all anime fans and non-anime fans everywhere.
