Well, Tom Cruise seems to be a fan of the staff at Lumon Industries!

LOTS to process here - it takes on a very different tone and gravitas that on paper, I feel like should be right up my alley. But this led to a lack of action for a big chunk of it with little of the team banter/dynamic lending things life. It allows Tom Cruise to remind us what a great actor he really is with some dramatic…

I'm really unsure how to feel about this. On the one hand, I love the Inazuma Eleven series, and this had me smiling within seconds. The characters are great, the music pumps me up, the animations really good... but most of it is directly from the anime.

Over half this movie is from the first series of the show, and there's even a point where they just montage through a good chunk of it! It feels very lazy and sloppily…
