The Feel-Good Part
This movie is a comedy with a slapstick nature and has accurately captured the aesthetics of the original. There is a lot of filled-with-gags type of humor as well.
The movie is not Feel-good, but the action sequences with the fights flow perfectly, and the clashes between the rival school gangs are appropriately dramatic. The action choreography is impeccable, and the music and editing add to it.
The cinematography and editing are fast-paced and suit this style of movie.
The Disappointing Factor
The movie has a lot of parts that feel annoying and repetitive because of its slapstick nature which is addressed and pandered to otakus. The jokes are also very predicable.
