pros
+ great animation and action
+ focus on Ichigo and family
cons
- story lacks in detail but provides a lot of plot holes instead
- predictable, both story and dialogue
- no relation to the original series, despite drawing one at the very beginning (ulquiorra, anyone?)
conclusion: entertainment depends on how much of a die-hard fan you are. action fans may love this, but that's about the only strong point of this movie. blame the time limit, but they could have done a lot better than this, especially in terms of plot and dialogue. no detail, generic dialogue, a predictable plot and the holes... (spoiler? they forgot chad when returning from hell... and that's only one example). i liked bleach, but this for me personally is the worst out of the four movies. decent fight scenes, but that's about it.
