The real review that isn't immature or pointless

Okay, well I'm somewhat of a Bleach fan, been watching every single ep and every movie. After watching this movie...I can conlcude that the rankings from best to worst starting off with the best is the 3rd movie, 4th movie, 2nd movie, 1st movie (even though the ending made me cry).
Story: heh heh heh...not much of a story. Sure, we're introduced to Hell, something that Bleach hasn't covered much in the anime. It was interesting seeing the inside, but honestly, that interest quickly dimished. The plot isn't that solid...if there was any. Basically the whole point is the two evil guys want Ichigo to help them be free from Hell...yup that just about covers the entire movie. I mean its pretty obvious that the guy betrays Ichigo because it was shown in the trailer before the movie came out, so don't be all pissed that I gave away a spoiler. What really sucked was the the 1st antagonist didn't really get much talking time....I mean he was just the dude who kidnapped Ichigo's sister, nothing really else important about him, they didn't give him a backstory. Now the sexy white-haired antagonist...shame it had to end that way for him...they didn't do a good job with his script, which will be explained later. But honestly, the only back story he was given in the entire movie was that he was sent to hell because he killed the guy who killed his sister, so like what, that automatically makes him and Ichigo buddies or something?
Dialouge: No character developement at all. The new characters shown basically do nothing with the plot except fight and be crazy. White haired antagonist...they trusted him too much. I mean honestly, they should have interogated him or something instead of locking arms and skipping their merrily way down to hell together. One important thing, they really made Ichigo over confident in this movie...I mean really. Especially one of his final lines when he defeats the white haired guy. Ichigo has no right to say (not the exact quote) "This is your judgment for betraying hell....blah, blah, blah." That line is too important for a character of his level, I mean that line what typically be said by someone like Byakuya.Oh yeah...speaking of which, the returning soul reapers with the exception of Rukia and Renji are all side characters, what was the point of even bringing them? IDK, probably there's still a lot of Toshiro perverts out there that wanted to see the stautory boy on screen.
Animation: Really good is all I have to say....though honestly the 3rd movie fight scenes were WAY better. Though I'm the only one thinking it but...the hollows looked ALOT better with their cloaks on, I mean, they looked pretty cool. But as soon as they took off their clothes -_-....I'm not impressed. 4th movie and the antagonist had to be butt ugly hollows.
Entertainment: Some might find it entertaining while others might not. Depends on how much of a die-hard fan you are. If anything, this movie makes you think at the end....what the hell is up with the skull armor Ichigo has? I mean, they don't even give it a name, and Ichigo only uses it to attack like once. Even Ichigo says when Rukia asks him what's up with the armor "I don't know?" *bashes my head through the wall* Was there even a point to bringing that thing up if no one is even going to name it? That armor better be shown in the manga later on, because if not, then it would be completely pointless.
In the end, I liked this movie...only liked, didn't say I loved it. So I hope you found this review enlightening and mature, honestly all my reviews are like this. I'm not biased and I cover all aspects of the spectrum.
