It's a fun popcorn flick
Is it a bad idea to make a live action orv movie? Yes. Will it lose all the good things of the web novel? Yes. Will it feel rushed? Yes again.
But, if we forget it the burden of orv adaptation and, treat it as a fun-popcorn flick... It works. The cast is really good, the world is interesting, enjoyable action sequences and, great visual effects. The pacing is also very fast, we are jumping from one interesting situation to another plus the movie is under 2 hours.. All of it makes it a fun popcorn flick.
I can understand, why fans hate it but, I think casual movie goers who know nothing about the world of orv they might enjoyed it. Also, you cannot turn orv into a live action movie, live-action tv series? Yes, Anime? Yes (Crunchyroll already making one) so hard core fans have to wait.
The negativity was to high for this movie adaptation even before it was released, so, I think the negativity kind of killed the movie. Otherwise, it’s an enjoyable movie.
