User blog:Soniczeath/Fairy Tail May Not be Finished / Dragon Cry Review(Spoilers)

So, I saw Fairy Tail Dragon Cry today in cinemas and overall I don't think it was a good film, It was more entertaining as it was more Fairy tail content.

My first issue with the film was that it was too rushed. It seemed like a story that was Hiro Mashima had under 2 weeks to write this story. The plot was lousy and recycled with the same format, which isn't bad but was executed very very poorly. Scroll down past the spoilers to see why Fairy Tail might have more seasons.

SPOILERS: The plot of the film is that the rest grave of dragons;which we saw during the Grand Magic Games Arc

The place Wendy, Gajeel and Natsu talk to the ghost of Zirconis after the fight with Sting and Rouge.Had a staff created from the dragon's rage and sorrow. this then held massive amounts of Magic power. the kingdom of Fiore then hid it. Zash, A knight or Minister which worked with 'Dark Art'(He has the power to mind control) was planned to be arrested, bu then escaped. He then became the Minister of Defense for this New Island, The Kingdom of Stella and was told to steal it by its king who I will explain later. The king of Fiore asked Team Natsu to go steal it back and they accept. they manage to steal the staff back until they are caught and lose it again. they are all beaten in the process and Lucy is captured. All the meanwhile the Kings Aide, Sonya who has the ability to see where people are whenever, is doubting the use of the Dragon Cry. The King tells the people that it is because their speical mineral which is stronger than diamond called Stelleium captures the light of the stars, but when they store too much light, that light turns to magic power and it cant hold that much power so this island with masses of it will be destroyed. Naturally this is BS and the real reason is because the King is Atchually a Dragon that was murdered by Acno and had used the same magic that Igneel and Co did to put themselves in side a Dragon Slayer. However the only girl near by was the girl they were about to eat, before Acno showed up to kill them (Btw his design looks amazing in the anime). However as the Dragon, Whose Name is Animus was dieing as well as Acno killed him he quickly put himself into the girl. As she wasn't a dragon slayer he couldn't leave without the power of the Dragon Cry.But had control over her body at times making her have two people in one body as he could take over her body at times and this is how he acted as King. However going back to Zash, he wanted to destroy Fiore for banishing him so he tried to use the power of Dragon Cry, which btw can wipe out a continent. However Team Natsu show up and save Lucy while Gray, Erza And Wendy fight this team called the ' 3 stars'. basically Zash's goons. NOTE- quite a few people were mad that Wendy entered Dragon Force, but she didn't. She does in the Alverez Empire Arc, but doesn't in the film. It is simply a Wind enchantment that brightly makes her and Carla glow pink. Anyway, They all defeat their enemy but Animus, had used the Dragon Cry to escape Sonya's body and has become a full blown dragon. Natsu then tries to fight him and gets stabbed. Lucy then cry's above him and when her tears hit his face, he has a visions of his friends and then turns into the Infamous Half Dragon form we see in trailers.This Is actually his power as E.N.D and Animus Realizes this. He then proceeds to Defeat Animus, Making his Dragon Kill Count 1. And they all live on.

REASON WHY FAIRY TAIL MAY CONTINUE! There is a end credit scene, where we see Acnologia in a desert. and on a cliff behind him, Zeref, Brandish and Invel, And Invel asks "So That Acnologia" and Zeref answers "Yes, Our greatest enemy yet. A war is about to start... Natsu This is all leading up to the Alverez Empire Arc(The Final Arc) as the reason Zeref invaded Fairy Tail is to get the Fairy Light From Mavis so he can beat Acnologia! I doubt they would put that whole arc into a film. and wouldn't have put it in their if they weren't going to produce it. this film kinda acted as a replacement for the Avatar arc.

Pros To The Film: -The Animation is Amazing. The fights looked Beautiful. -It hadn't Ignored The future or past. When Natsu Turns half dragon its his power as E.N.D power. -There was a superb moment that was my favorite part of the film, where Erza beats her foe by using her own version of Grand Chariot which was a very nice nod to Jellal who wasn't in the film. but also showed how Erza has grown since the Taratos Arc. -The fact that they brought a Dragon in to be the Ending Boss was a very nice touch as The plot point of a dragon that was killed by Acnologia put himself inside a body of a person was smart, was i always wondered if there were other dragons who did so. -Obv the Ending scene with Acnologia and Zeref was great teaser! -Voice acting was also great through out. -They dialed down the OP in all the characters, they were stronger but not ridiculous like in the manga, however this doesn't suit well as the if Alverez Empire arc does come, the Spriggan 12 wont be as strong and their whole thing is being the strongest

Cons: As I said at the start, this was a disappointing film. -The plot was lousy and rushed -the film was only 1h 25mins and the fights were anti-climatic, ending with little to no choreography, and was not  interesting like other fights fairy tail had shown. I always liked Fariy Tail as it knew how to to make a fight entertaining even if you knew the good guys would win. -The plot itself was rushed making all new characters BORING AS HELL, the 3 stars i mentioned only had about 5 different lines in the whole movie, no motive or back story and 2 of them didn't even really use magic! -Zash was the worst villain and was the worst character i have ever seen, he came face to face with a DRAGON! , the strongest things in the Fairy Tail universe, and he MIND CONTROLLED IT! WTF, some lousy dude controlled a dragon with black magic,stupid, he wasn't even scared and mocked it. And he wasn't even strong, all he did was make others fight each other. Utter failure as a character. -No other Fairy Tail members got any screen time, even Julia Gajeel, Lily and Levi were ignored despite being on the island as well. -WAY too much fan service, i'm alright with a little hear and there to keep the horny men coming, but this was way too much. -This could have been a interesting Arc in the main series if it was spread over more episodes, fights were much better and the villains weren't so boring and weak. -They pulled some more bullshit with 4th gen dragon slayers which are artificiality soldiers how had their designs ripped completely of Berserk form Fate/Zero Literally this, who of which were weak as hell and had no purpose but to keep the Fairy Tail members Occupied.

In conclusion it wasn't a good film, it was too rushed and not a very developed plot. It was mediocre but had its moments. Its a real step down from the Fairy tail standard which doesn't help as its losing its credibility with the current arc. I just hope they recover it with the anime if it comes to pass, But the manga has to put it right first.
