What do the people think of Demon Slayer: Kimetsu no Yaiba – The Movie: Infinity Castle?

A young fan shared their experience of a family outing with their father to the cinema to check out the film and how amazing the experience was: “Dad and I saw "Demon Slayer: Infinity Castle.” It was amazing. I cried a lot. I’ve been so excited to see these manga panels animated. The visuals are breathtaking and the music amplified each scene, tying the action and emotions together. Ufotable is the GOAT.”

Indian fans, where screenings have begun as early as 5 am due to the overwhelming demand for the tickets, have reviewed it, “Now I understand the hype around #DemonSlayer! That Hashira Training finale where all the Hashiras united was pure goosebumps”.

One fan called it 'perfect,' praising the Akaza vs. Tanjiro and Giyu fight as the best in the entire series so far, "Demon Slayer Infinity Castle was perfect. The manga was already good, but this... this was amazing. Akaza vs. Tanjiro and Giyu is probably the best fight in Demon Slayer (until the Kokushibo fight). And the emotional moments are HIT even if you already know they’re coming. 11/10."

Some others were critical of the film and shared their two cents about the pacing, "while having pacing issues and being underwhelming at times, still a very enjoyable experience with some phenomenal shots, amazing action sequences, and exquisitely well-done emotional moments that make up for an exhilarating watch. 9/10"

Many others chose the visuals to do the talking instead.
