Critics absolutely love Demon Slayer: Infinity Castle movie in reviews

The movie also focuses on the battle Kamado Tanjiro and the Hashiras have with the Upper Moons. It will arrive in US theaters tomorrow, and the movie is already receiving love from the critics.

Phuong Le of The Guardian wrote, “While ardent fans might wish to see more of Muzan, this wonderful instalment gives a splendid taste of what is surely soon to come.”

Moreover, David Opie of IndieWire praised the fight choreography of the movie. He noted, “From intricate background details to the propulsive fight choreography, everything is vividly rendered to perfection. Infinity Castle really looks like it belongs on the big screen.”

Ben Williams of Radio Times wrote, “Even when considering the manga, it’s both the most gorgeous and the most gripping Demon Slayer has been yet, and makes us want to jump into part 2 right away.”

Meanwhile, Bradley Russell of GamesRadar+ wrote, “Infinity Castle storms past Mugen Train to become the series’ gold standard – all thanks to another animation masterclass by Ufotable and a gripping, peril-filled story simmering with personal resentment and touching backstories.”
