There were a lot of things that I wasn't expecting to occur in the movie, some I did enjoy while others I was disappoineted:
-The main thing that I love about the movie was the mayor improvemnet in the animation department compared to the anime; The figth scenes were really fluied and flashy. The music was also a major plus.
-The movie was really rushed and it would of have been really hard to diguest it all if I haven't previously seen the anime beforehand.
- The lack of Rider in the movie was really disapointing. I mean at least one decent figth with Saber like in the anime, but I guess it would of have made the movie longer.
- No mayor involvement with Sakura at all. Kind of disappoined because she did play a part in the anime, but ...oh well.
- One of the most gruesome sceens in the movie was when Gilgamesh literally rips the heart of the liitle girl(don't know her name, sorry) with his own hand. I was like "Seriously, they had to kill a little girl that way?". I was shock that the movie went there.
- I didn't expect Archer to turn. I mean, it is not common in anime for a good guy to suddenly turn into a bad guy.
- Saber becoming Rin's Master. I was really suprised when that happend.
- Shiro vs Archer: Shiro Wins; Archer bleeds to death. Later at the end of the movie, he comes back and helps Shiro and Rin against Gilgamesh and the Holy Grail respectively. Archer being alive made no sense.
- The ending was "ok" I suppose. I mean, Saber wasn't really the major focus of the movie compared to the anime, and seeing her just disapear as soon as the Holy Grail is destroy was just "Oh, she's gone ...wtf". After that scene, I kind of realized that the major focus of the movie was ShirÅ/Archer. Seeing Archer with Shiron's hair at the end was a nice touch.
well, since they're aiming at 100% adapting the "Unlimited Blade Works" Route from the VN
here's some pointers that will maybe change your disappointment into nothing
i'll be pointing out facts that Happen in UBW route, not in FAte Route
- Rider Vs Saber does not exist in UBW route. Quote from Type moon Wiki "Rider was killed early on in Unlimited Blade Works by Caster's master, Kuzuki Souichirou"
-Lol, yes it's obviously rushed, because you probably can't sit there watching it for more than 5 hours.
-Illya getting killed by Gilgamesh was in the route, and about how gruesome it is, it's not that gruesome... there's much more awaiting you if you Read Heaven's Feel Route. And to begin with it's by Nasu, he's a heartless genius which is awesome.
-Archer turning against you = Plot twist.
one of the major things UBW was so GAR.
-Once again Plot Twist, and it's a GOD tier plot twist.
Rin and Saber is literally the most powerful Combination
-Archer being alive makes sense if you know how the Servant system goes.
He has a (kinda forgetful) a +A rank in independent Actions, meaning that he has more than enough Mana To survive without Mana from his Master. this can means he can barely heal himslef for a a limited time.
-Well, if you Know the VN, it splits into 3 routes
1- FATE, this is more about Saber and Shiro's ideal to becaome a hero
2- UNLIMITED BLADE WORKS, More about Rin, and the idealism battle between Shiro and Archer EMIYA
3- HEAVENS FEEL, more about Sakura and Shiro abandoning his ideals to save the one that He loves most which is Sakura.
My memory is kinda sketchy, so better wait for Uzumaki for more details, since This is favorite route.
