If you liked Trollhunters, 3Below and Wizards avoid this movie like the plague, especially if you liked the character development from these three series.

Honestly, by this point time-travelling resurrections are just a lazy cop outs. Deaths have zero dramatic impact when they keep being undone.

And undoing every single event from Tales of Arcadia in the process is just one big middle finger to all viewers.

Amazing how just the final 5 minutes of a movie can entirely ruin not only one, but three entire series.

I've never seen the TV series that this movie was based on, so the only backstory I know is the short introductory sequence at the beginning. This was rather overwhelming as well as the dizzying array of characters who show up throughout the film, but I got the gist of what's going on. The story itself is simple enough, as a team of witches are trying to destroy the world and some other fantasy/science fiction heroes are trying to stop them. The visual imagination and character designs in this film are top-notch, and I'd expect nothing less from Del Toro. Like its obvious Avengers inspiration, the film is full of intense action scenes (the most memorable being the ice titan vs. The nature titan) punctuated by short moments of comedy (the most memorable being Steve impregnated with seven alien babies). It succeeded quite well at this goal, with very imaginative, intense and colourful scenes that propelled at a brisk pace.

Nari is captured by the other members of the Arcane Order. They reawakened the primordial Titans. The gang of heroes reunite to battle them.

This follows the series; Trollhunters: Tales of Arcadia, 3Below: Tales of Arcadia, and Wizards. This is essentially the Avengers of these shows. I've only seen the Trollhunters series so far. I get the basics of everybody after the brief introduction. The movie itself is action, action, action, repeat. The story telling style is rather simplistic. It's overstuffed. It does look good and I always like the Guillermo del Toro style. This movie does do one thing. I'm more compelled to watch the two other series. The ending could be a problem. I'm not sold on it. I would hate to re-do everything.
