# Demon Slayer: Kimetsu no Yaiba Infinity Castle (2025)

Sep 17, 2025 | Rated 2 out of 5 | Dir. Haruo Sotozaki

I’ve seen two seasons of Demon slayer, and I mistakenly thought I would be able to catch up with the lore in order to watch and comprehend, what was happening in this movie. I was wrong.

This was the first movie I’ve ever walked out of and requested a refund for.

Don’t give me wrong the fight choreography and animation was stunning, but I just was so bored by the incomprehensible plot. And I realize that’s on me. I know that this is the first part in a three-part trilogy following the fourth season of Demon slayer. But, I still think movies should be able to stand on their own and tele a compelling story without understanding, four seasons of a TV show, and this movie did not accomplish that for me in a meaningful way.

The theater was sold out, and I could tell people having so much fun, and if you enjoyed this film, I’m so happy for you. This just wasn’t for me.
