"Whilst I do reckon that the cinema is a great place for this kind of vibrant and action-packed animation, itu2019s not so important for the stories here as this spends quite a while abridging what are quite clearly previous storylines before teeing us up for an introduction to the new curse-laden grudge matches that are to play out in the next series. Now thatu2019s hardly new, but at least the u201cDemon Slayeru201d films try to present more stand-alone movies that offer us something a lot more self-contained. This doesnu2019t, and so if you donu2019t already know about the story thus far, nor of the sources of the bitterness, rancour and alliances between u201cOtadoriu201d, u201cGojou201d, my own favourite u201cOkkotsuu201d et al then this wonu2019t really advance your knowledge much and really only serves as a tease. That said, there are still plenty of metamorphosing slug-like critters with huge teeth, brutal combat scenes that test the mortality of just about everyone and itu2019s got a soundtrack that works well in helping the pace rollick along. Itu2019s a decent watch, but to make much sense of the continuing characterisations it is really only for regular fans of the series - and I suspect they will have seen it all before."
