The movie has been a hit with fans and critics alike and currently has a near-perfect score of 96% on Rotten Tomatoes. Our own four-star Chainsaw Man – The Movie: Reze Arc review praises the film's "surprisingly effective romance" and "dynamic ensemble of characters," adding that it "offers more than just visually impressive blood-and-guts spectacle, even if it isn’t able to land every beat of its self-contained story."
