Personal Ratings: 3
When I first saw the poster of this anime up everywhere, I was really really eager to watch this movie. the vibe the poster itself gave out was one filled with intense emotions and excitement. 
I thought that the front few part was really nice. The only thing that I was not satisfied with was the way they ended the movie. The last fighting scene was not up to the normal One Piece standard, it felt really short and there was not much real fighting involved. Luffy did not even have to use his full power to defeat Z. I really wanted to see a proper fighting scene, especially for Zoro. I did not like the way how the show seemed like Z was the main character, and not the straw hat crew. They seemed to place most of the screen time to Z and his past, where else the Luffy and his members seem to have very brief screen times. 
The only thing that I probably like is that is not long winded, and i really liked the way they progress. I like how they stick to the character's personality in the show, and I could really see the link of this movie tot he anime. Like in the new Naruto movie, I really felt that the personality of some characters like, Minato and Naruto's mother, does not seem to be the same as what was portrayed in the anime.
I'm not sure, but the movie seemed a little too linked with the anime. I was sure that there is also a new navy crew that opposed both the navys and the pirates, and one of the girl in the movie was inside too. There is also the thing about Aokiji. IN the movie, it says that Aokiji left the navy to bring Z back, but i don't really think this is true for the anime. 

Art ratings: 3.5
Same as One Piece. I really think that the animation for the movie was a lot better then the anime. There were not parts in the fighting scene where the character looks distorted.
