High & Low: The Worst X

Where to start? The last H&L movie I saw was "DTC –Yukemuri Junjo Hen– from HiGH&LOW" which left such a sour taste in my mouth I gave it a 1/10 wishing I could have given it a 0. A "H&L" movie without any fights and without any of the kick-ass music we've come to expect. A truly awful experience. Unforgettably bad. So, coming into this, I was worried to say the least (I had not realized H&L:The Worst actually came after that movie - But it still had its problems, namely the forced humor centered around a certain female character). I needn't have worried, though. This movie brings back the relentless fighting and music that, while it doesn't surpass the original tunes, is still pretty good (and for fans of the original films' music... there are a few treats). This one is all about the team-ups, though, and we get that killer crossover that was hinted at in the first :The Worst film. And it's pretty sweet! The whole thing is truly ridiculous. The characters are caricatures, the fighting is completely over the top, it's probably a bit too long, and the story is... umm, is there a story? Well, stories are overrated. I had a blast watching this!
