The battle between Saber Alter and Berserker was the best part of the movie. But just like Lancer and True Assassin, it was so much shorter than I expected it be. And with hindsight, it really makes me wonder how on Earth,Shirou and Rider beat them. Not only are they physically stronger, (like did you see part where they punched Berseker and blocked a punch from them at the end), they have that stupid Shadow backing them up. Like speed didn’t save Lancer, why wasn’t Rider or Shirou caught by it? Heck, I’m amazed Berseker even survived long enough for Shirou to kill him after that fight. He took Excalibur at point blank range, I think.
I like how Ilya just shows up and starts being nice to Shirou after her Servant literally spills his guts out and before she loses him. Why bother doing that now?
I wonder about that dream he had where she showed up all of a sudden, was that some premonition or some sort of magecraft?
That scene in the rain that everyone talked about was so bad. Like the random close-ups and the slow down effects were horrible. And it’s so freaking long too. There’s a line in there that makes me question what the translators were thinking. Take a guess which one it is. Rin and Archer could have easily have stopped them if they wanted to, but they just let them walk away. And I have no idea what Archer was talking about either.
Archer was so cool, he could have killed True Assassin if he didn’t have to worry about Rin. He had such a good showing. The scene after he blocked that explosion was pretty sad. Like the moment when his hair was done and he called Rin by her last name like Shirou does… He came there to kill himself, but he ended up saving himself. And just like that, my favorite character was gone from the movie, another victim of that stupid thing. Knowing that it’s going to happen doesn’t make it any better.
I like how after promising to protect Sakura, Shirou still thinks about stabbing her with a knife. Not that it would have done anything. I wonder why Rin even bothered with bringing one to the cave. Like she survived getting attacked by Gate of Babylon and somehow reformed herself. What happened back then, I don’t know what to call it.I don’t think it was instant regeneration, but it was insane.
I did not expect that F-bomb at the end. I can’t believe they got away with that.
I keep thinking that I got the message or the moral of the story that the movie/movies are trying to convey sometimes, without just looking online to refresh my memory, but then I begin to doubt myself about it.
