Black Clover: Sword of the Wizard King | Rotten Tomatoes (1) Brian Costello Common Sense Media Somehow, this movie makes sense when all is said and done, despite all the chaos unleashed in the first half hour. Rated: 3/5 Jun 29, 2023 Full Review Black Clover: Sword of the Wizard King | Rotten Tomatoes (2) Charles Solomon FilmWeek (KPCC - NPR Los Angeles) It's basically one long battle...If you haven't been following [Black Clover] you will probably be lost, but for anime fans, this pulls out all the stops. Jun 28, 2023 Full Review Black Clover: Sword of the Wizard King | Rotten Tomatoes (3) Amanda Guarragi Ready Steady Cut The film does feel generic at times, but it’s the animation that stands out above the rest. It is good if you are a fan of the television series and the manga. Rated: 3/5 Jun 25, 2023 Full Review Black Clover: Sword of the Wizard King | Rotten Tomatoes (4) Roger Moore Movie Nation There’s little here for a non-fan, and almost nothing to invite non-fans to become fans. Rated: 1.5/4 Jun 22, 2023 Full Review Black Clover: Sword of the Wizard King | Rotten Tomatoes (5) John Serba Decider Black Clover exists to deliver hyperbole with relentless ratatat, and fans of it wouldn’t have it any other way. Jun 21, 2023 Full Review Black Clover: Sword of the Wizard King | Rotten Tomatoes (6) Panos Kotzathanasis Asian Movie Pulse “Black Clover: Sword of the Wizard King”” is a shonen fan's wet dream, an almost constant succession of impressive battles that are bound to leave all action enthusiasts utterly satisfied.

John F Definitely one of the better anime movies I've seen in a while Rated 5/5 Stars • Rated 5 out of 5 stars 08/06/24 Full Review Fred F One of the greatest films to ever be made, it was like an entire season of the show in one. It was action all the way through which was perfect. Rated 5/5 Stars • Rated 5 out of 5 stars 01/30/24 Full Review Ricardo D Filme incrível e com animação impecável, o melhor de todos. Rated 4.5/5 Stars • Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 12/19/23 Full Review Sara F amaizing movie I hope the 5th season of the anime is released soon <3 Rated 5/5 Stars • Rated 5 out of 5 stars 12/08/23 Full Review Sudhir S Maybe, I'm just not the audience for this genre. It's so jarring. Rated 1.5/5 Stars • Rated 1.5 out of 5 stars 12/03/23 Full Review Tilly It's a basic OVA-style slug-fest. It squeezes everybody in at some point with an opportunity to use their signature spells. The movie rushes through its pacing to the point where there's no tension, which means there's then no pay-off. And there's no time to build any pathos either. The villains are staged to be sympathetic villains whose cause has been corrupted (very on-brand for the series) but you don't get time to see that. The writing advice "show don't tell" comes to mind.Ultimately, they tried to put a 12hr season worth of story into a 2hr movie. As a fan Black Clover, it's ok, but unsatisfying. If you're not familiar with the series, there's nothing worth watching here. Rated 2.5/5 Stars • Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 11/18/23 Full Review Read all reviews
