Another adventure of Monkey D. Luffy – the man who will become the King of Pirates! As a fan of Van Pees, who watched at the time of writing this review of the 544 series of the original anime series and 10 feature films based on it, I can say that, in my opinion, the fourth film about the adventures of the Mugiwara team turned out to be the most atmospheric, authentic and quality.
I loved all the movies, but this one is the quintessence of Van Piece’s story. Not according to the plot, the plot is quite simple, but in spirit.
Some films suffer from the fact that their favorite characters are not like themselves. Of course, by nature, not externally. Film 4 doesn't have that at all. Each hero acts in his own inimitable spirit and style.
The drawing, or rather its quality and style, was very pleased in this film, because although Van Piece is the most popular manga in Japan, he sometimes sins with inexpressive drawing, which fans of the series have repeatedly complained about.
The costumes in the film came to the face of their owners, which also added positive emotions from watching.
The good news is that the movie was filled with humor. Van Pees is generally a very funny series, but the film was pleased that in addition to the topographical cretin Zorro, the finished Sanji womanis and without the tower Luffy, there were really funny dialogues and moments.
Many people like 10 movies the most. I loved it too, but honestly I expected more from the tenth movie. More, especially the atmosphere. Not that it disappointed me, but I was waiting for something really grand, because it is, firstly, the anniversary of the tenth film, and secondly, the manga was invited to write the script. Oda Jeichiro. But 10 film with all its pros and advantages compared to the previous films did not turn out, as they say, grandiose. So my favorite Van Piece feature film is the fourth.
The fourth part will appeal to everyone, both fans and those who are not familiar with this story. Although, of course, fans will enjoy watching much more.
Thank you very much.
