Take it from me: you are better off watching the anime or reading the manga. It is a complete disaster that makes even the Phoenix Priestess a decent movie. Dragon Cry is just a sad cardboard cutout plot with cardboard characters with escalated fan service with logic literally having bricks tied to its ankles before getting tossed in the river. It's literally the only thing keeping this burning ship afloat aside from any die-hard fans who refuse to see anything wrong with it. We are talking like original animation with beautiful artwork. The only thing I can really congratulate this film on was its beauty. There is no signature fighting moves and when introduced to something new (as shown on the cover) we are given no explanation as to how or why it happened. dear God the fights are either too short, or just plain lame. The bad guys are just plain confusing and unoriginal, and the fights.

Characters appear out of nowhere with no explanation as to how or why, the plot is rushed without any explanation as to how anything works or should be, and we are given so many questions with absolutely no answers. You will also be lost with each and every setting change in the entire film. All the women were literally just fan service and the men were just plain simple and stupid cutout's. I love the Fairy Tail guild, but I just didnt find anything worth caring about these characters. There is little to no character development or deep meaning in anything they do. Unfortunately, the whole scenario is completely thrown into a blender and mixed into 'overdrive'. The plot is simple: magical artifact stolen, get back magical item, kick butt, lesson learned. The entire course of the film is choppy and makes absolutely no sense. And they completely and utterly flopped it. What does this have to do with Dragon Cry? Why do I call it 'The Phoenix Mistake'? Because when they were making this story and the movie, they were given a bigger budget and had a huge enough fanbase to back it up. They are just cardboard cutouts and the villains and climax was just. The plot had been rushed, many situations made little to no sense and the characters that you loved in the anime just aren't there in the movie. As a rushed movie, the entire film flopped and just plain sucked. A good run of seasons had passed, and then 'The Phoenix Priestess' came out.

I loved the anime series because they were quirky, different, and just plain enjoyable. Reviewed by briggnalle 1 /10 The Phoenix Mistake
