Going into this movie, I had high expectations. Despite the first two crows zero movies being a bit too old for my taste, I surprisingly enjoyed them. The actions were intense, the characters were well fleshed out, had good acting and a pretty good storyline. So, despite the lower rating for crows explode, I still decided to watch this movie without any prejudice because of how good the first two movies are. However, this movie has a lot of issues for me.

It felt like there was too much going on and I could not focus on the main characters. There was so many different stories with different characters. It all just felt a bit too much and disjointed. There was parts where I was rather annoyed and just started skipping them so that I can get to Suzuran's story.

The action scenes that I was excited for didn't particularly impress me either. In fact, I would say that it's not on-par with the predecessors at all. I couldn't believe that this was a part of the crows zero saga. The main characters were pretty boring too. I did not root for any of the main characters and didn't get attached to any of them either, but I think that's due to the fact that they didn't get enough screen time to actually connect with the audience.

Overall, It's not bad per se, but I wouldn't call it good either. If you liked the first two movies and are expecting the same for this one, I would recommend completely getting rid of those expectations since it will only cause disappointment. Maybe I would've liked this better if I hadn't had such high hopes for this one
