"And this is a track of our new album" as if anyone cares. Just play the hits...
A truly awful pastiche of the previous 7 movies with an incoherent central narrative that relies on magic and fantasy to link the best bits from the previous 7.
From the cheap looking Star Wars ripoff opening, the use of still paintings to tell the story, to a cheap looking ultra stiff flying Gamera that never touched down because they didn't have a suit, to the magic cheerleading squad that can fly and sell Mazdas.
Of course an evil witch alien does literally nothing with a magic wrist watch and gets in a girl fight keeps things moving along as her incompetence at being evil precipitates a change of costume before her boss stops threatening to kill her.
It's not grounded enough to be interesting and not impressive enough to be exciting. It's both boring and stupid. Magic solves every everything and luck happens.
Everyone is trying really hard, maybe too hard to polish this rubbish into anything other than a clip show which is what it is, the footage from the previous adventures putting the boot into the new footage by being the most entertaining parts of the movie. If you stick with it there's a horrible ending and more rubbish SFX and music over the credits.
