And this movie was "bad"?

No hate on the staff, but honestly this adaptation is quite bad. Perhaps ok compared to other non-TM works, but if brought in line with the original script? Yes it is. Basically, they took a 9.5/10 story and brought it down to a 6. First, it took off a couple of characters which serve a lot of purpose in the later story because of limited time for 2 movies. Secondly, the pacing is quite wrong. It seems as if it's just trying to lay a story out rather than actually telling it well, very monotonic. Thirdly, which is perhaps the worst, it had very out-of-character lines, especially on Bedivere. As you may have learned or may learn in the next movie, he is a very kind and strongly-willed person. The fact that he got triggered just because someone touched his arm accidentally simply would not happen and did not happen in the original. Last but not least, it had serious problems in setting the power levels of the characters. Specifically, Bedi's NP would not be able to neutralise and knock Gawain's NP down. He is not a particularly strong character in terms of powers (and kind of the point of his character development). In the original text, this NP from Bedi only temporarily caught Gawain off guard and bought them time to get away. And the change makes no sense, since Gawain is the strongest currently in the Round, if Bedi could single-handedly beat Gawain down, they would not need to go through all the fuzz of making alliances with others. The main cause is the scriptwriter. He had his own thoughts and clearly, they don't stand to nearly the same quality as Nasu's work. He is also responsible for a lot of the boring Boruto TV original episodes. The second movie is much better since the director did not listen to him and instead tried to do justice after what happened to the first one. Unfortunately, he is also in some of the Babylonia episodes, and the rest of the team had to clean up after his mess. If something feels off in all the FGO animes, mostly it's him.

There's a lot I wish these adaptations had done better (there are a couple of cool characters and a very important subplot that got cut entirely, and a lot of what did get included is heavily abridged) but I can forgive it all because of how beautifully they did Arash's heroic sacrifice. Seriously, I can't watch that scene without tearing up, they did our bro justice. Also as others have said, the reason F/GO fans had such high expectations for this was that this was the chapter where the story and really the game as a whole got good. The first four singularities had pretty bad writing, and 5 was where the writers started putting actual effort in, but this one, the 6th singularity, was where it really stopped being just a cash grab gacha game and started being a story worthy of standing alongside the rest of the franchise. So, people were super excited when the movies got announced and then disappointed by how much got cut. Especially since this actually came out after Babylonia, despite occurring before it in the story, and Babylonia got a full 24 episodes to cover its material so ended up being a much more faithful and therefore beloved adaptation. People were hoping for the same for Camelot but in 2 movies it just wasn't possible, the studio did the best they could. I'm still glad you enjoyed it though! Honestly this is still a good movie with some great scenes, and part 2 is better in a lot of ways.
