Two groups of characters effectively on the same side fight to the death because they're too stupid to explain what is going on, and one of them named Siegfried has some sort of bad blood with Leonheart, that again, is not established in this film, leading to the exact same problems as with Angelina.

However, she wasn't in the TV anime and the film doesn't even establish their connection and instead assumes we already know, despite the fact that a large fraction of the audience of this film are only familiar with the anime, potentially leaving the viewer incredibly lost. There is this important character named Angelina, who has important relations with much of the relevant cast from the show. These audiovisual improvements did fix major gripes I had with the original to the point where it almost felt unfair as part of any enjoyment this film provided was fixing mistakes that should've never happened to begin with.Unfortunately, that's where any relative positives end, as the film is still a mess. This is already a far cry from the amount of terrible tracks and times where the music does not fit the scenes in the original TV series. The rest of the tracks sounded perfectly fine, with one vocal track near the beginning being probably the best in the movie, if not for GARNiDELiA doing another stellar performance with the ED song “SPEED STAR”. There were two moments where the music did not fit the scenes, including a happy piano track halfway and an awful dubstep song during the big magic fight sequence near the start of the third act. Studio 8bit, while doing a mediocre job by anime film standards, still has a far more visually appealing product that the original, which is the long and short of it all.Taku Iwasaki returns as the composer of the music for the film and it was far superior to his work on the show. At the very least, we got to see characters in a variety of fashionable uniforms outside of their school attire, which was thankfully absent throughout the film. The fights and overall magic were pretty bad as well. The artstyle is as bad as ever though, and the CGI is both horrible and prevalent. For one, they fixed the lighting issue to a decent extent, now I don't have to squint to avoid my eyes being set on fire from the needlessly bright lighting effects.

It feels like a short filler arc of the show, though thankfully issues carried from the show are largely subdued.Visually, the movie is passable. It still suffers from flat characterization, holes and leaps in logic, pacing issues, and a major switch from one major object being a threat to another, with the first object being ignored entirely after the halfway mark, among other problems.

Mahouka Koukou no Rettousei is one of the more popular Light Novel series to have come out within the past decade or so, spawning an anime adaptation by Studio Madhouse in 2014. That anime was also a gigantic piece of shit.Thankfully, this movie isn't so bad.That isn't to say this was a good or even passable film, however.
