My Hero Academia: Heroes Rising Reviews

The students of UA High are put to the test and have to rise to the occasion to be their own heroes. In terms of action and maximizing the screentime of the other characters, Heroes Rising is aces.

| Original Score: 8/10 | Mar 8, 2022

I would still recommend My Hero Academia: Heroes Rising to fans of the series and anime in general.

| Original Score: 3/5 | Dec 30, 2020

It lets the heroes of Class 1-A stand on their own against familiar yet powerful villains, not to show off their strength or how far their skills have progressed but to protect the innocent and stand up for what's right.

| Original Score: B+ | Dec 30, 2020

An irresistible collection of action scenes. [Full Review in Spanish]

| Original Score: 3/5 | Dec 30, 2020

My Hero Academia: Heroes: Rising showcases some of the series most brutal but brilliantly devised action scenes lifted by its heartfelt story of heroism.

| Original Score: 4/5 | Dec 30, 2020

While its plot is solid, Rising's fight scenes are some of the most crisp and dynamic in the entire series.

| Dec 30, 2020

The crazed light-show finale may send viewers out into the lobby ready to scale the walls of the cineplex, but it's this tiny moment that will resonate with anyone who's ever asked for an autograph...

| Dec 30, 2020

With its clumsy write-off of all the events that occurred over the course of the film, which includes a convenient bit of memory loss, Heroes Rising doesn't add much to its original series or to the overall landscape of anime movies.

| Original Score: 6/10 | Dec 30, 2020

Without diverting excessively from shonen's more traditional patterns, its excellent rhythm and way of executing every action set piece makes it an enjoyable watch. [Full review in Spanish]

| Original Score: 3.5/5 | Sep 9, 2020

The film provides everything fans have come to expect from the franchise - over-the-top action, crazy super moves, and tensive show-downs.

| Aug 20, 2020

Of course, die hard fans will get a little more out of the nuances and callbacks, but the best thing you can say about My Hero Academia: Heroes Rising is that you may want to delve into the earlier works.

| Original Score: 3/5 | Mar 12, 2020

It is a story of good versus evil told through the fascinating art of anime.

| Original Score: 6/10 | Mar 12, 2020

When I saw the opening, that was the moment I was all in. The animation really struck me...but also the growth in Deku and Bakugo's relationship.

| Mar 10, 2020

Paints a clear narrative that anime fans and new audiences can enjoy by developing rich characters, placed among beautiful tension-filled action that carries significance.

| Original Score: B+ | Mar 6, 2020

Does a great job of welcoming newcomers into this world and tells an entertaining story. The ending action felt a little drawn but overall I enjoyed the film. The animation is outstanding.

| Mar 4, 2020

Will give My Hero fans--including this one--everything they want to see.

| Original Score: A- | Mar 3, 2020

My Hero Academia: Heroes Rising is a splendid display of heart, character, and heroism, a film capitalizing on years of storytelling that's stunningly animated with tons of care and attention to detail.

| Original Score: 5/5 | Mar 2, 2020

While I confess that there are probably any numbers of subtleties that I inevitably overlooked while watching it that the fanbase will seize upon, that did not prevent me from having a reasonably good time watching it nevertheless.

| Feb 28, 2020

My Hero Academia: Heroes Rising is an anime that gives you the feeling of shonen anime OVAs from the golden age of 80s and 90s anime.

| Original Score: 8/10 | Feb 28, 2020

Imaginative but violent anime adventure has some swearing

| Original Score: 4/5 | Feb 28, 2020
