United States of Smash!

Class 1A and 1B are back on a mission world wide to save humanity from those who believed that quirks are doomed.

The first My Hero movie was bad, and the second was my favorite movie of that year. The movies always feature awesome animation of action scenes. It was a treat to enjoy the character fighting and pulled out incredible moves. The biggest problem with the movies is that they are basically filled with no consequences to the main series. Because of this, the story usually had little significance and not worth investing, except maybe the second movie.

The third installment was almost no different. The fight animation was still fun, although not as awesome as the second. Shoto, Bakugo, and Deku all had their own scenes where they showed their ultimate moves, and I enjoyed the movie mostly for that.

However, the story was again not memorable. It moves very quickly without any deep exploration into the villains or why the Humarise organization rose. This time Deku made another companion, who had a pretty lame quirk that wasn't worth all the wait. The quirk didn't have as much significance as it was intended to when it was revealed.

Also, near the end Deku again pulled out a new move, which I had a problem with. It would be spoiler to talk about it, but basically it should have had more consequences. Of course, the movie just didn't even bother justify it. At least the second movie tried to for Deku's ridiculous move.

Overall, it should not be a surprise that the actions were fun, but the movie was still forgettable. 7/10.

Honestly this just wasn't that good. It was beautifully animated, Rhody (Rody?) was a pretty cool character, and the villain was a massive improvement over Seven, but I would argue this is where the positives end.

With Rhody's quirk being intentionally left as a mystery (and major plot point) I really expected it to have something to do with his ability to escape/run/parkour, otherwise there is just flat out no excuse for him being able to get away from Deku in the opening act. I understand that some suspension of disbelief is required when it comes to Deku due to the nature of his quirk, but this movie asked us to accept that a teenager and his pet bird were more than Deku could handle for about 7 straight minutes of screen-time. Unacceptable.

Also, the main point of this movie is that it's international and they did almost nothing with that concept. They didn't need to bring in the Manga's most recent international hero, but, to my knowledge, they didn't introduce any heroes from other countries, where that could've been a really cool thing to explore.

High budget animation of fight scenes, but no real sense to it. Lots of villains show up with no real explanation of their powers, and when the heroes primary abilities dont work against them, they dont come up with new clevre strategies, or methods of using their powers, they just use MORE of the same powers, until they somehow win.

How do you defeat someone who reflects your punches back at you? Punch harder. How do you defeat someone immune to fire? Use more fire.

A whole host of heroes are involved in this story, but nothing happens to any of them, and we'll never hear about this story ever again. A sort of non-canon, no stakes, series of DBZ action sequences, with extremely typical results.

The story also as typical involves one new normal person we will never hear from again, and he doesnt even really get much of a story. He exists, down on his luck, meets try hard Midoriya, decides to try hard.

Also, because they need these fight scenes to be ridiculous and resolve quickly, you can count any number of onscreen deaths caused by "heroes" and the heroes themselves suffer any number of injuries that would result in death, while fighting alone hundreds of miles away in an abandoned facility controlled entirely by enemies who want them dead. There's no way any of them survived. But no stakes!
